Will he change his name to Jorge Derecho? Country crooner George Strait is getting heavy airplay on KXTN–the Tejano music station in San Antonio. Yes, the Tejano station. His new CD, TWANG, is set for release in August and the first single happens to be Mexican ranchera classic, El Rey.
Sung by, well, most everybody in Mexican and Tejano circles, the mariachi classic is done well by Strait–slight accent, but the effort is honest. Now, if he’d only change political parties! Well, I’m sure nativists won’t take kindly to what they will surely call, “that damn mes’kin song”.
