George Strait is the twentieth studio album by American country music singer George Strait. The first album of his career not to achieve RIAA platinum certification, it produced three singles for him on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts: "Go On" at #2, "Don't Make Me Come Over There and Love You" at #17, and "If You Can Do Anything Else" at #5, making it the first album in his career since 1992's Holding My Own not to produce a number one hit.

"You're Stronger Than Me" was originally recorded by Patsy Cline in 1962.

Rodney Crowell later recorded "The Night's Just Right for Love" as "The Night's Just Right" on his 2008 album Sex & Gasoline.
