Holding My Own

Template:Use mdy dates Template:Music ratings Holding My Own is the twelfth studio album by American country music singer George Strait. It was released by MCA Records and features the singles "Gone as a Girl Can Get" and "So Much Like My Dad", both of which charted in the Top 5 on the country charts, but it became his first album since 1981's Strait Country not to produce a number one hit. "Trains Make Me Lonesome" was previously recorded by the trio Schuyler, Knobloch, & Overstreet on their 1986 self-titled debut album, and then in 1988 by Marty Haggard.
