By the Numbers
Ocean Front Property keeps George Strait firmly in interpreter mode while his sales peaked: he wrote none of its ten songs even as it became the first country album to enter the chart at number one. Dean Dillon is the most frequent writer here, with Hank Cochran and Sanger D. Shafer close behind, and the singer's name is absent from every credit.
Ocean Front Property is the sixth studio album by George Strait, released in 1987 on MCA Records and produced with Jimmy Bowen. It became the first album to debut at number one on the Billboard country chart, a measure of how large his audience had grown by the mid-1980s. The record produced the number one singles 'Ocean Front Property' and 'All My Ex's Live in Texas,' the latter one of his best-known songs. Strait wrote none of the ten tracks, leaning on Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran, and Sanger D. Shafer. It was certified double platinum.
