CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME is a collection of love songs of unusual sweetness and devotion. Even when he's saying goodbye, or warning a friend of an ex-girlfriend's wily ways, George Strait does it with a fond memory. "I've Got A Funny Feeling" may be the first cheating song in history in which the singer, after discovering his baby's cheating ways, decides that it's all his own fault and that he's just going to have to become a better person and a better lover if he wants her back. And because Strait's baritone drawl is an instrument of such warmth and magnetism, you've got to figure she's going to end up coming back anyway.
CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME follows up Strait's 1996 blockbuster BLUE CLEAR SKY, and maintains the same balance of soft, devotional ballads and playful come-ons with yelping fiddles and crying steel guitars. It includes a cover of Vern Gosdin's divorce ballad "Today My World Slipped Away." More telling is the swinging honky-tonk number "Won't You Come Home (And Talk To A Stranger)," in which his wife catches up to him and his drinking buddies at the bar and plays the same puppy-dog game he does. She doesn't chew him out and she doesn't whine. She just coos, "Come home, baby." And you know he will.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (4/25/97, p.72) - "...[with] his subtle fusion of honky-tonk and pop, Strait is still country's top dog." - Rating: B
