That\u2019s not a knock; Strait has made a towering virtue out of consistency. The big news here is Strait\u2019s continuing late-career development as a songwriter after three decades barely ever picking up a pen: He co-wrote seven of the 11 tracks, including a bouquet to his fans that also serves as a summative look back on his career (\u201cI\u2019ll Always Remember You\u201d).
