The line on Strait is that if you've heard one of his albums, you've heard them all, an assessment that could only be made by someone who really had heard just one of his albums. Following a career trend that had been building for some time, Strait's 1998 One Step at a Time is probably the least traditional album of his career. Throughout, Strait uses twangy instrumentation to create country music out of pop songs, as on the island-sounding "I Just Want to Dance With You," the impossibly catchy "True," the bluesy "Remember the Alamo," and the pop-rocking Mavericks-sound-alike "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This." One Step at a Time does have one thing in common with previous Strait albums, though: it's one of the year's finer mainstream country efforts. --David Cantwell

With the bright, emotion-charged vocals and shining harmonies [Strait] brings to One Step at a Time, he once again proves to be the near-perfect link between neo-honky-tonk and contemporary country love balladeering. A good for-instance is the opening cut, "I Just Want to Dance with You." This samba-like, fiddle & steel-injected dance tune, cowritten by John Prine and Roger Cook, is about as smooth and uptown as Strait's ever gotten....

Исполнителя там хвалят, лелют, покупают его диски. Одну песню сравнивают с известной нам группой Mavericks. Да, похоже. Непредвзято говоря: это спокойный, лиричный, поддерживаемый хорошей аранжировкой (гитары, барабаны, скрипка) американский кантри. Приятная музыка для вечерней беседы, без диких плясок под скрипку. Хороший застольный диск, не мешающий беседе и уж, если дошло дальше, "белому танцу" (хит I Just Want To Dance With You).
Месили диск в конце прошлого века (звучит как-то безнадёжно, да?
), навыков и смелости, видать не наработали. До 5-ого трека ничего нет, кроме тылового повторения фронтов. Центр - смесь фронтов. Начиная с
5. Maria,
в которой сразу в правом тылу ожила подтяжкой гитарка, жизнь в селе "стала лучше, стала веселее"(с). Эти гитарки так до конца альбома и дают о себе знать. Самый навороченный трек - 8-ой.
That's The Breaks
В нём тыл настолько окреп, что перетянул центр тяжести звукового поля на себя.
К сожалению, ударным совсем не уделено внимания - все кучей спереди (да и там невнятно плоско, хотя барабанщик выдаёт размашистые сбивки). Вокалист и женские подпевки чётко не локализуются никак - отовсюду и без изменений все треки.
