While I like George Strait,he’s not one of my favorites. But, he IS one of the greats. I like Don Williams a lot.

Merle was one of the greatest also
Agree, that would be a close competition for the title. Can't think of many others that could compete with those two. Maybe Alan Jackson, but George S. and Travis T. just have that certain intangible voice and stage presence that can't be explained, much like George Jones did in his prime.
I am thinking of who is the greatest still alive and still performing the older traditional country music style made famous by all the older stars mentioned above. Most of whom are deceased by now.

Kinda like Jamey Johnson and Chris Stapleton too
Not for all of Country Music like the OP asked but for the Opry I think it’s Bill Anderson
George Strait without a doubt. Had the pleasure of a concert in a small circular arena. George moved corner to corner of that rectangular stage all night. We had front row seats over the alley way he entered through. It was like he came there to sing to us.

Alan Jackson has staying power as well. While I did like Travis Tritt back in the 90’s. I don’t think he’s left near the mark on country music GS and AJ have. Not trying to argue..just my opinion.

I'm not sure. The great ones have gone to the grave. I like AJ.
Waylon is another good one as is Willie if we're look'n for old school guys. DAC is another. But George, Hag, Cash, and Conway are hit'n on strong.

Say, after the passing of George Jones? My vote would definitely go to Travis Tritt after all his years of hits to date.
I’ve been to ALOT of concerts. ALOT. Travis Tritt was by far the worst performance I’ve ever seen. He sounded like courage the cowardly lion. He was one of my all time favorites, but haven’t been able to look at him the same since.
George Strait, followed by AJ get my vote

Alan Jackson by far.
Alan Jackson is my favorite, but his numbers come no where close to George Strait.

I watched a documentary on Alan Jackson and he wrote the majority of his songs..that would be the only determining factor of putting him ahead of George Straight

As for me ain't nobody gonna fill their shoes...George Jones, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Doc Watson, Waylon Jennings, I like the old country...George Strait and Alan Jackson are both great artists. A fairly new young feller by the name of Mo Pitney he ain't bad he sings the old country tunes mostly..
