One of the biggest country albums of the 1980s and a virtual greatest-hits record in and of itself, 1987`s OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY is perhaps George Strait`s career pinnacle. It features two of Strait`s most beloved hits, the rueful title track and the sly "All My Ex`s Live in Texas," as well as the jaunty Western swing of "Am I Blue" and seven other slices of what critics were quick to call "new traditionalist" country. Strait was, in many ways, the Ray Price of the `80s, a singer whose ties to country music`s bedrock sound were strong enough to allow him to court pop success without losing sight of what initially made his music special. A start-to-finish solid album, OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY is a landmark `80s country record and one of Strait`s finest outings.
