George Strait Stepped Up To Help His Home State After Hurricane Harvey

George Strait and a few of his famous friends, including Chris Stapleton, stepped up to help Strait’s home state of Texas during a time of need.

Hurricane Harvey tore through Texas in 2017, leaving devastation in its wake. After the storm passed, Strait knew he had to step up and do something. He quickly planned a benefit concert in San Antonio and enlisted Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton to help him.

Tickets to Strait’s show sold out the same day they went on sale. Those who could not attend got a little taste of the show during the Hand in Hand telethon, which aired on September 12, 2017.

But some of the best moments didn’t air during the telethon. One of those moments was when Stapleton came out on stage to join Strait for one of his biggest hits, “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.”

“All My Ex’s Live in Texas” was released in 1987 from Strait’s album Ocean Front Property. It was a smash success and reached the top spot on the country charts in Canada and the U.S.

Due to its popularity, “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” is always a crowd-pleaser when Strait performs it at his shows. So you can bet that the crowd at his Harvey benefit concert was absolutely thrilled when they heard Stapleton would be singing it with him.

Stapleton’s duet with Strait wasn’t the first time the two collaborated. In fact, Stapleton has been working with Strait for years and co-wrote his 2011 hit “Love’s Gonna Make it Alright.”

Knowing Stapleton and Strait’s history makes their “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” duet even more enjoyable. Strait graciously allowed Stapleton to sing lead on a substantial portion of the song, and the crowd couldn’t seem to get enough.

But the best part came whenever Stapleton and Strait joined in singing together. Their voices have distinctly different sounds, creating an interesting contrast. Plus, it’s just downright cool to hear two superstars like them singing such an iconic song!
