Background notes
Archive material and source history
James Lynn Strait came out of Texas in the late 1980s, built around singer and songwriter James Strait. They put out their self-titled debut in 1994, and the single 'Absent' got some real attention. A couple more albums followed in the next few years, 'Songs About Us' in 1996 and 'Carry Me Home' in 1998.
Their songs often dealt with straightforward emotional territory, loss, love, the usual human stuff, delivered with Strait's plainspoken vocal style. The band had a consistent lineup with guitarist Mark Perry, bassist Gary Hale, and drummer Tony Smith. They also worked with other artists like Sarah McLachlan and Willie Nelson at different points.
They kept making records into the 2000s and 2010s, including 'Unwound' in 2001 and 'Time Stands Still' in 2012. Songs like 'Angel's Son' and 'Deadfall' are part of that later catalog.
