Album Notes
Also available in a 3-pack with SUPER HITS VOL. 2 and GEORGE & TAMMY SUPER HITS.
Along with Merle Haggard and precious few others, George Jones is one of the last of the original honky-tonk country singers. He started in the 1950s, and his voice has aged like fine wine--soulful, supple, capable of making heartache sound (almost) worth going through. This set spans the years 1972-1985, and has some of his best work for the Epic label.
Included are great re-recordings of his classics "White Lightning" and "The Window Up Above," as well as newer gems like the neo-classic "Bartender's Blues" (with harmony from the song's writer, James Taylor), a sort of country counterpart to Billy Joel's "Piano Man." There's never been a better tribute-in-song to country music's legends than "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes." This album is slightly marred by Billy Sherrill's (over-) production, but Jones' voice and the top-notch song selection make this one of the better Jones hits packages.
