Content: Baby’s Gotten Good at Goodbye (1989)
This single, an anthem for men who’ve screwed up one too many times (and the women who love them), was part of George Strait’s unmatched late 80s run, appearing on the same album as “Ace In The Hole.” It was his ninth consecutive Hot Country Songs no. 1, and captures much of what made him so unstoppable during that period: the twangy traditionalism tempered by producer Jimmy Bowen’s pitch-perfect restraint, the witty flips on country song cliches and Strait’s ability to play the regretful ne’er-do-well – the King of Broken Hearts – as well as he does the bashful barroom lothario and the boot-stomping party-starter. 14: I Just Want To Dance With You (1998)
This deceptively simple single sneaks up on you. Though its island lilt and sweet premise are easy enough to appreciate on their own, co-writers Roger Cook and John Prine’s plainspoken poetry makes the dancefloor ditty surprisingly affecting. Prine originally recorded the track for his 1986 album German Afternoons; it was George Strait’s version, though, that not only topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for three weeks but became one of his first Hot 100 hits, peaking at no. 61.
