Biography
On the cover of George Strait’s new album, TWANG, he sits in the driver’s seat of a classic American Cadillac, strumming a toy guitar and mugging for the camera. It’s an unexpectedly playful photo for the Texas superstar, yet it perfectly captures the animated energy he’s recently infused into his never-out-of-style brand of country music.

“When I got into that old Caddy, there was a little guitar lying in the front seat,” Strait says of the photo shoot. “I picked it up and started clowning around with it, and the photographer kept shooting. It’s not a staged shot, by any means. When I started going through the pictures, I saw this shot and thought it fit the feel of TWANG I was looking for.”
