George Strait - “Troubadour”
2008-06-03 16:37:00 If it weren’t coming from someone as accomplished as George Strait, “Troubadour” might seem like the regret of a person looking back on an unaccomplished life. As it is, the narrator seems to be content with what he is and what he’s done in his life. It’s a thought that’s simple enough to be relatable by anyone who feels that they are what they are and there isn’t any changing that. “Troubadour” provides for a pleasant listen with Strait’s consistently reliable vocal performance, but there isn’t a whole lot of substance to the lyric. In the chorus, Strait tells us that he sometimes feels “like Jesse James, still trying to make a name, knowing nothings gonna change what I am.” I have to think that the name Jesse James is well known enough, but I’m not sure the lyric will be instantly discernible or if it even makes sense. Is this in reference to Jesse James changing his name to Mr. Howard, but not being able to change his outlaw ways? If so, is...

With listening to his music with realizing how great he really is. He is such legend with all the number one hits he has and still creating them today with his new album. Many country artists have come and gone he is still creating hits every year ever his career started. That is what a legend is to keep creating hits no matter what year it is. What I think makes him so great with listening to many of songs it like he telling story in each one with so much truth. Is something special the way he makes a song about anything sound so great.
