This song’s simplicity is where its beauty resides. There is nothing more than first rate country music; there is no overproduction, no luxuries.

Still, this is not George Strait’s first time he has given us a track filled with raw emotion. The Chair, a piece about love, timing, and that one moment which alters everything, is one of his most heartfelt shows. This is a standard Strait song—straight forward but profoundly sad, with a tune that lingers with you well past the end of the track.
The way he uses lyrics to tell a story, is unmatched. “The Chair” gives you the sensation that you are seated immediately there in that bar observing the love story play out. It is the best of country music—sincere, moving, and ageless.
