This is just a perfect example of why George Strait is still at the top of his profession and why the ACM named him the Artist of the Decade {1998-2008} which in reality Strait could have easily been named Artist of the Decade for the 1980's or 1990's...that's how successful he has been in the music business. He keeps coming up with songs that hold your attention.

Although this isn't a bouncy sing-a-long like his previous single, "River of Love", was...it isn't a drag-out ballad neither. The mood of the song is painted with the lyrics and that guitar that picks away...giving it that lonesome feeling. I look for this song to easily become Strait's 81st Top-10 country hit...and possibly his 45th Billboard #1...it's a strong lead-off single from an up-coming CD and it presents a first for Strait: he is credited with co-writing the single with his son, Bubba, and songwriter Dean Dillon. This is the first time in his now 28 years on MCA that a single credits not only George, but his son, as co-writers. Prior to this, you'd have to go back to Strait's second MCA album to find "I Can't See Texas From Here", written by Strait. The song was never a single and so "Living for the Night" represents the first commercial single to feature Strait with a songwriter credit.

george strait does it again and I love this song. I saw god today is still my favorite. I am so glad he helped write this song. He is the king and always will be. know one sings better than george and I am his age and of course, to me he is the best looking man and best singer ever. His wife is so lucky and I an so lucky I can listen to his songs and dream.
