Six George Strait Cowboy Rides Away Tour Dates... →

Lee Ann Womack Q&A [March 16, 2010]
Q: When you lived in Texas, did you ever see George Strait or Reba on tour?
A: Oh, yeah ... oh yeah. Of course, I saw George many, many times. I would skip school and drive anywhere I could to see him and his band. They played great Western swing music. I liked the stuff they did that wasn't on the album as much as I did the hits. And I remember seeing Reba in college when I was going to school out in Lubbock. I saw her at the fair out there
Q: I know you especially like the early albums from Reba's career.
A: That's my favorite Reba. She knows it, too. I tell her! (laughs) Yeah, I love those [producer] Jerry Kennedy records. That's real, real country stuff. It's nostalgic to me. I remember hearing it as a child, and my parents really loved her. But just the songs that she cut ... "Somebody Should Leave," "You're the First Time I Thought About Leaving," all those things. It was country.
Q: I bet Strait Country was a landmark album for you.
A: Mmm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I remember my dad coming in and handing me an album and saying, "This guy sounds just like Tommy Duncan." [Duncan was the lead vocalist for Bob Wills' Texas Playboys band.] And I knew who Tommy Duncan was because I had listened to all of my dad's records. That's a big compliment coming from my dad. He's real picky and real hard on singers, and he just loved George's voice. That's kind of where it started for me.

“I was introduced to Hank by my friend Dean Dillon,” says George Strait. “They wrote one of the most clever songs which I was lucky enough to get to record called ‘The Chair.’ I wish I had known Hank better, but unfortunately our paths only crossed a few times. Those times, however, were very...
