Unwound

If it performed well, then they would discuss a record deal.

Y'all want to know what that single was? It was the song Unwound.

Now, when this song was released back in 1981, it climbed to number six on the country charts.

So, George Strait, he'd arrived.

He stayed exactly who he was up on stage.

And he never changed that.

Over the decades that followed George Strait's success with Unwound, he became one of the most successful recording artists in American history.

He accumulated more number one country singles than any other performer and became the only artist to place a song in the country top 10 every year across three consecutive decades.
