When the announcement came that George Strait was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, there were those who thought it was premature. After all, Strait is only in his early 50s, and with 53 #1s, more than anyone else in Nashville history, he is still an active working artist, not the sort who sits back on a million-acre ranch remembering when. But one spin through It Just Comes Natural and it's obvious why the quiet Texan deserved his induction now. He simply has no mainstream peer, for either his consistency on the charts or his continuing to raise the bar with his confident, nuanced performance. Here, on an album recorded in Key West, Strait sounds even more relaxed than usual, as if he took more time to live with the songs--15 in all--before he recorded them. Throughout, he amply demonstrates his ability to choose material that pushes the country genre beyond its core themes of God, family, and patriotism while still staying traditional. So many of the songs catch one off guard, either because of their different subject matter (the way the lyric of "Come on Joe" gradually tells us the dead never really leave the living) or in their sophisticated approach to a routine topic (the head-spinning recognition of an old flame in Bruce Robison's "Wrapped"). Then there's the artistry with which producer Tony Brown's handpicked studio cats elevate an already great song even higher (a sizzling cover of Guy Clark's folk/honky-tonk/Western swing classic "Texas Cookin'"). Twenty-five years after his recording debut, Strait is still as crisp as the crease in his Wranglers. Yet the leader of the Ace in the Hole band has yet another card up his freshly starched sleeve. The man who doesn't talk in concert and rarely speaks to reporters leads off with "Give It Away," a divorce-and-damage saga set off by--surprise--a recitation! --Alanna Nash

 Sad, sad, very sad October 29, 2008

A very talented singer, but why not chose some upbeat songs. My woman left me and I am heartbroken gets a little tiresome after 13 songs.
 King George still has it July 30, 2008

Its great to see George singing number 1 hits after number one hits and some of his most recent number one hits are on this cd. I really enjoyed this cd. It proved that George still has what it takes to be on top once again and there will be nobody who will ever come close to what George has accomplished in his 20+ year career. My favs on this CD are Give it Away, It Just Comes Natural, Texas Cookin, & How Bout Them Cowgirls. I'm not saying they are the only good songs on there, they are the songs I enjoy listening the most. They all are great.
I love George Strait, he is truly an icon in country music and there will never be another like him. I recommend on picking this cd up sometime. Pretty darn good songs to enjoy.
Great Album May 9, 2008

As this was my first George Strait purchase, it will certainly not be my last. The disc is recorded very well. One of the best recordings I have ever heard. With 15 tracks, there is plenty to listen to. My kind of woman is the best one on the album. Overall, this album is better than Troubadour.
Better than his Greatest Hits album... January 17, 2008
This is a fantastic album. I thoroughly enjoyed every song on this record. I enjoyed it so much I bought the 50 greatest hits album which disapointed me a bit.
Overall this is a terrific album though and there are so many solid songs that you can enjoy over and over.
A consistent performer January 7, 2008
George Strait is probably one of the most consistent and dependable C&W singers. He doesn't go in for gimmicks, yet uses good production and arranging. This album is excellent, as usual.
