Although I have lived in Texas for many years, I never listened to much country music. However, "Amarillo By Morning" has always been a favorite of mine. While browsing my local Target, I found a George Strait CD with "Amarillo" on it, so I bought it. I was amazed at all the great songs on that CD, so naturally I went on a search for more of his music. And what better place to search that eBay. I found "Strait Out Of The Box" and noticed that it was a 4 CD collection of George's songs, so I bought it. It is a great CD set ranging from George's early songs to his later works. I'm probably just about the last person in Texas who has discovered such a talented artist. If you have dipped your toes into the George Strait pool and are eager for more of his fabulous music, this is a great collection to get your hands on.Read full review
When this set was conceived, at the time George had 31 Number 1 hits within this set alone spread out 4 CD's, and its wonderful that they included the hit singles that should have gone Number 1 like "Amarillo By Morning"... and now George has 53 Number 1 hits and counting. It just seems like King George is just going keep pumping out the hits as long as the career of the late Johnny Cash... its just George, you know ? Somewhere in your lifetime, it will be guaranteed you have heard at least one George Strait hit one way or another. This box set is a must for the George Strait fan.
So glad I got this. It is nice having the early recordings of George Strait, he is one of our favorite artists. We would suggest this for any one who likes George Strait.

Until recently, I didn't realize how many of George Strait's songs I've loved for years. As I researched which albums I wanted to own, I stumbled across his Strait Out of the Box I & II compilations. Combined they are more comprehensive than the various #1 collections, and often priced better (used). As far as I can tell, the songs are all original album versions or single release versions (no live versions). Very happy with that. It has been the easiest (cheapest) way to quickly build a solid library of his work.

I loved being able to hear some of the older Strait tunes, like "The Cowboy Rides Away" and "Unwound". It's also great to hear some of the more recent tunes he's done like "Baby Blue" and "Easy Come, Easy Go". After looking at the song list, it seemed to be the most comprehensive collection of George Strait material available and it hasn't disappointed one bit. I would reccomend this set to any C&W fan, but George Strait fans will love it even more. A great collection!
