George Strait - Amarillo by Morning | Metal / Rock Fans' First Time Reaction with Garrison Brothers

[@aidenp265]

George is the literal king of country. Not only is he an amazing country singer, but he lives the life too. He and his son, Bubba both are members of the Texas Rodeo and in his early life and now later life he competes as a Bronc Rider and calf-roper while continuing to tour across the US in his older years. He recently set the world record for largest show in one night. An entire football stadium + field + overflow and lines outside the stadium.

[@jamesonyates2388]

George still ropes to this day. He rides and is very active in the rodeo scene. He didn't lose a wife or a girlfriend along the way though, he married his high school sweetheart 53 years ago and has been with her ever since. You should definitely check out I Can Still Make Cheyenne, another great and classic rodeo song by George.

[@lisamccartney7573]

He did lose a daughter

[@MrPalval]

He also grew up on his dad's ranch in Texas

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

In my opinion, this is in the top 5 of greatest country songs of all time. As a Texan, it’s the greatest song about Texas.

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

@@BourbonCountryReacts when he broke out in the 80s, what made him popular and what he is today was he brought back the traditional Western swing sound of the 50s and 60s. The 70s was all about Conway and Merle which was either pop country or outlaw.

[@davidjennings1771]

@@stevebournite184 Hiram was King and died, Bocephus went on to surpass his dad and lived up to a Kings standard of fame and surpassed it! Now George is recognized as King of Country! Until a new one comes along, Long live the King & Texas's Garrison Brothers Bourbon. I still think Chuck Berry is the King of Rock and Hank Sr. was the grandfather of it, (he's in The Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame), at 29 with "Move it on Over" IMO. Move it on Over was his first big hit in 1947. He was said to have died on 1-1-53. Thats a lot of music for 4 or 5 years. Hank recorded 167 tunes and left many more partial songs. In the notebook found in his Caddy on his death ride, were many unfinished songs. The likes of Bob Dylan and others had a chance to finish and record them. I wish them luck.

[@beckywiegers3315]

Lord, I love that man! Thank you, Steven. Strait has never had a bad song. He has been top of the hill for decades, and he’s done it without a shit ton of pyrotechnics, smoke, mirrors, and other paraphernalia. He just walks out on stage and delivers. Every time.

[@lynnbetts4332]

It's steer wrestling. Cowboy jumps off his horse onto the neck of a steer, grabs its nose and throws it to the ground. First time I heard George Straight was back in 1977, before he headlined as fill-in for Eddie Rabbitt at the Houston Rodeo. He was just the lead singer for Ace in the Hole, his band. Sat at his feet at the edge of the stage at 16th Street Station in Huntsville, Texas. Dance floor was always packed when they played. Amarillo by Morning was a staple, always played. Great slow two-step. For a quicker two-step, Blame it on Mexico. My favorites have always been those oldies.

[@ranger-1214]

King George has 60 #1 songs to his credit. Add to that more Country Music Association awards than anyone in country music history with 83 CMA nominations and 23 wins, including three wins for Entertainer of the Year. Truly the top dog and thus….The King. Also has the record for the largest attendance at a North American indoor concert at 104,793 in Arlington, TX in 2014 at Jerry’s World (Dallas Cowboys) stadium. He and his son are both members of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and team ropers. Two ropers after one steer; one ropes the head (the “header”) and the other then has to rope the back legs (the “heeler”). The steer gets a head start, and scoring is based on how the steer is caught at each end. These cowboys stay mounted, unlike the bulldogging that they showed in the video.

[@shelleyparsons5735]

Note: That's called steer wrestling. Great reactions guys.

I could double time all day long and always finished the daily pre-chow mile and all PT tests in the front third of the pack. I did ten-mile marches but never did run five miles.
