Old Shame is In-Universe only
* CreatorBacklash:
** Strait reportedly hates his second single "Down and Out" (a No. 16 song in the fall of 1981), which he has stated was not one of his favorite songs and noted he would never consider releasing, much less recording, today. Indeed, the only places to find "Down and Out" are on his debut album, ''Strait Country'', and his first greatest hits album; it does not appear on any other of his greatest hits albums or his 1995 box set ''Strait Out of the Box''.
** He hated his first music video, for "You Look So Good in Love", so much that he asked that it be withdrawn from rotation. He has very rarely done a music video since, and the few he's done since are largely {{Performance Video}}s.
** Strait also has since said his hit "You Know Me Better Than That" is not a song he would record today; alas, he hasn't played it live since it was an active single.

* CreatorsOddball: By and large, averted; rarely has George recorded in the pop-country vein. One early exception was his 1982 ballad, "Marina Del Rey," which he pulled off very well and is every bit a part of his playlist today. "El Rey", a mariachi song from ''Twang'' which Strait performed entirely in Spanish, is another rare exception.

** "The Cowboy Rides Away" is one of his most popular songs, serving as the name for what was going to be his final tour, only reached #5 in the US and #3 in Canada.

* NamesTheSame: Somehow, he ended up recording two different songs both titled "She'll Leave You with a Smile" only five years apart. The former was the B-side to "Round About Way", while the latter was a single by itself. As a result, it's not uncommon for deejays to have both in their libraries and thus play the wrong one (with repeat offenders including ''Radio/BobKingsleysCountryTop40'' and [=SiriusXM=]'s "Prime Country" channel).
