FLOYDADA – In country music, George Strait is referred to in hushed tones of honor. A lot of artists and fans call him their greatest influence. “King George” is beloved.
Scotty McCreery’s song ‘Damn Strait’ – not to be confused with the James Lann song of the same name – is an ode to the Texas legend, even if technically it’s cursing his name. It’s now the #1 song in all the land “King George” oversees, and one would guess Mr. Strait is okay with that.
