It's always great to hear about people from Texas being honored for their work...esp when it comes to a guy who has worked his tail end off, getting to where he has gotten.

George Strait has a huge love for his fans & his fans have shown the love back throughout the years by buying his music, attending his concerts, and listening to the GS Hour on KTEX every Friday afternoon.

George will be the receipient of the 2013 Country Radio Broadcasters Career Achievement Awards, later this month.

This award is "presented to an individual artist or act that, through their creativity, vision, performance, or leadership has made a significant contribution to the development and promotion of country music and country radio."

Strait has been at it for more than 30 years & has the most #1's of any other artist in history. His record sales have topped 69 million copies - 33 of them going platinum or multi-platinum. Strait has had 85 out of 90 radio songs make it to the Top 10 - amazing! Here is a clip of George talking about his work & the help he's received along the way.
