  Strait Up - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strait Up was an album released by Snot in 2000 (the album has been credited to Various Artists and Strait Up as well).
Originally intended to be Snot's sophomore album, for release in 1999, plans were drastically changed when lead singer Lynn Strait died in a car accident on December 11, 1998.
The finished album was released on November 7, 2000, featuring the 11 tracks, a spoken word tribute from Ozzy Osbourne, another spoken word piece by Strait himself, and Snot's last recorded song with their original lineup.

Strait was unsure about the recitation on "You Look So Good In Love", but it was another chart-topper and led to him calling a racehorse Looks Good In Love.
Strait was a throwback to the 50s honky-tonk sound of country music.
The white-Stetson-ed Strait, who also manages to run a large farm, became one of the top concert attractions, winning many awards from the CMA, but it was only in 1989 that he became their Entertainer Of The Year.

 Lynn Strait - Biography - AOL Music
Snot's debut album, Get Some, was issued in 1997, and although it didn't race up the charts, it did land the group a prime spot on the next year's edition of Ozzfest (during which Strait was arrested at one point for 'indecent exposure' on stage).
But the group never got their shot, as Strait was killed when his Ford Tempo collided with a truck on the 101 Freeway near Santa Barbara at approximately 1 p.m.
Titled Strait Up, the album featured some of rock music's top names providing vocals to the tracks that Strait and his Snot mates were working on for their proposed second disc - including contributions from Jonathan Davis, Fred Durst, Serj Tankian, Max Cavalera, Lajon Witherspoon, and Mark McGrath, among others.

Since his debut release of Strait Country in 1981, he has 25 platinum records and 50 No. 1 singles, making him not only one of country's biggest stars, but also a leading male vocalist across all genres.
Strait's live performances are flawless, making the album solid listening from the first track, "Deep in the Heart of Texas," all the way to "The Cowboy Rides Away," which ends the album with swaying western heartbreak.
Strait loves the traditional country sound; the steel guitar and the fiddle are not only prominent instrumentally in his songs but also get lyrical references in two.

Their stocking-in-sandaled feet kicked up a fair amount of sand, and soon they were a distant herd of waddling, rosaceous tourists.

 CD Reviews: Run DMC, The Donnas, Strait Up (NY Rock)
This disc is a tribute to the late frontman of Snot, James Lynn Strait, who was killed in a car accident in December of '98.
Strait was on his way to the studio to begin work on the band's second album, and it's possible they could have risen to the level of similar bands like Limp Bizkit, Korn, and a host of other heavy ones.
On the whole, the music is heavy, loud, the vocals are guttural and belted out, and the lyrics express sadness at the loss of Strait, though sometimes in a child-like fashion.

On December 11, 1998, Snot vocalist Lynn Strait was on his way to Los Angeles to work on the second Snot album when he got in a car accident that claimed his life.
Its obvious the guy was popular amongst his friends, but ultimately this tribute probably sounded better to the people who participated in the album itself rather than listeners.

A 30 caliber rifle bullet, shot strait up in the air at a quick 2700 feet per second, goes up to about 9000 feet, then falls back to the earth.
When a bullet is fired straight up into the air, the bullet's flight begins to slow immediately, due to the effects of gravity and wind resistance, until reaches a maximum height.
In these experiments, weapons were fired straight up and bullets observed landing in water, and on wooden piers.

Either way you cut it, George Strait is the embodiment of classic country music, while also personifying the classic cowboy.
His is a show of gentle, basic family entertainment, eschewing the flash-and-bang Garth Brooks and Shania Twain school of rock-gone-country, in favour of a more honest approach.
Kicking off with Honk If You Honky Tonk, Strait — dressed in his ready-to-rope, ready-to-rip attire of white hat, button-up shirt and jeans — kept the memorable and familiar tunes coming, including Amarillo By Morning, She Let Herself Go, a swingin’ version of Take Me Back to Tulsa and Milk Cow Blues.
