Rolling Stone (p.63) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "TROUBADOUR is up to the usual standards, maybe better. There's witty, swaggering honky-tonk and the requisite hot-fiddle swing number."Paste (magazine) (p.69) - "[W]ith TROUBADOUR, he throws in a couple of delectable curveballs -- like the Caribbean twinkle of 'River of Love' and the rock edge of 'House of Cash'..."41.96395

Q (7/93, p.100) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Strait takes Texan honky-tonk and masculine ballads of romantic regret, and delivers impeccably. He may wear his heart deep inside those famously well-pressed cowboy shirts...but you can hear it beating all the same..."41.96395

Entertainment Weekly (3/5/99, p.67) - "It's to his credit as a stylist that Strait can imbue even the most lightweight modern country material with the kind of grace that makes it soar at radio. But on his 24th album, Strait never forgets to prove his mettle with the honky-tonk masters..."- Rating: B+Q (6/99, p.112) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Strait...is a fine melanchilist and droll swinger who still sounds fresh on his 24th album. ALWAYS NEVER THE SAME is reddles with coutnry wit...throbbing pain and hurt...and, from time to time, the zestful western bounce of his earlier work..."36.71846

Entertainment Weekly (4/12/91) - "..the album George Strait was born to make, and the first one to show the 38-year old Texan in control of his idiom: The record is a sublime refinement of all the ballads, honky-tonk, and hot Texas dance music he's done before. We get to hear all the different facets of his musical personality..." - Rating: A+Q (6/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..Beneath those Bobby Ewing good looks and well-pressed ranchwear, clean-livin' Texan George Strait has certainly done his honky-tonk homework. Leaning heavily on the high-octane ghosts of country past, he's produced his most satisfying and consistent album since 1987's "Ocean Front Property."Stereo Review (9/91) - Performance "His Best" / Recording "Excellent" - "..It is, simply, the album of his career.."0.5108913
