Free Music Notes for Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets
Free Music Review: They just don't make 'em like this anymore
Hit: 5 Stars
George Jones's latest disc "Burn Your Playhouse Down" is a collection of duets George has recorded between 1977 and 2006 but never released. Listening to this album you wonder WHY these were never released until now. The whole album is pure Jones country, but the highlight of the album is the duet between George and his daughter with Tammy Wynette, Georgette, "You And Me And Time". Georgette looks an awful lot like her mom and vocally she sounds more like LeeAnn Womack, but on the first line of the chorus she sounds a lot like Tammy. The other stand out tracks for me are the Ricky Scaggs, Vince Gill, Jim Lauderdale, Shelby Lynne and Mark Chesnutt tracks. The duet with Dolly Parton, "Rockin' Years" would later be redone with Ricky Van Shelton and would hit #1. A prior review suggests that Jones's original vocal may have just been edited out and Ricky Van Shelton's inserted, that's not the case, the version heard here is a completely different recording, Dolly's vocals included. The album wraps up with a lost duet with Tammy Wynette from 1977. Anytime a new Tammy song is uncovered it's a treat and this one is no exception.
If you like George Jones, or just great real country music, this is the disc for you.
Free Music Review: George is King, long live the King
Hit: 5 Stars
George Jones is country music. This CD is George at his best. The duet with his daughter (and Tammy Wynette's daughter) is amazing. Her voice is much like her mother's and when she and George sing together it's magic. She is a great talent. And the rest of the duets are great with great artists. If your a George Jones fan, this Cd is a must. I saw him live just a few years ago in a small venue in Spokane, WA, and his voice is was "smooth as whiskey" and true to the songs that we all love. I love many of today's country artists, but some of their songs sound so generic, no originality and soul. I know there are writers out there with songs that should be heard through these amazing voices, but I'm not hearing many of those. I love a wide variety of music from hard rock to classic country, the old crooners like Dean Martin to the fun music of Britany Spears. Good music is good music in any genre. Country will always be at the top of my list. "I always get lucky" with George!! So a new release from George, who knows a good country song, is a joy to hear.Free Music Review: George Pulls Rabbit From a Hat

I LOVE George Jones. To me, he is the voice of country. George Jones and Hank and Patsy and Ray Price -- that's the real thang. That said, George is well past his prime. He's not, sadly, the Lion in Winter that Ray Price has been. His recent stuff has been better than most anything else on country radio, but hardly up to his earlier works. I saw George from the second row in 2006, and it was a thrill, but you could tell he was mailing it in. So I did not expect to get any NEW wonderful stuff from Jones. I listened to this album before I learned of its story, and I was shocked that George had cranked it up one more time! Now I know that some of this dates back to 1977, and that explains the quality. No matter. This could be essential Jones for your collection; not to be missed.Free Music Review: Timeless George Jones
Hit: 5 Stars
I just got my CD this last week, and I've played it at least 20 times. There are very few singers in country music today who can convey emotion like George. He's paired on this album with some of the best country has to offer, and every song is a masterpiece. I'm amazed some of these weren't already released and counted as hits for him.
My favorite is "Lovin' You Lovin' Me" with Tammy Wynette. But I have "You and Me and Time", his duet with his daughter Georgette, stuck in my head. She sounds and looks so much like her mother! I also love the harmonies in "Selfishness in a Man" with Vince Gill.
If you're a George Jones fan, this is a rare new collection you will enjoy.
Free Music Review: THE GREATEST LIVING COUNTRY SINGER
Hit: 5 Stars
The gentleman with the last review sums everything up nicely. This is George Jones, do you really need any other reason to buy it? Basically there is no bad George Jones song old or new. He is one of the greatest country singers ever! Every song on here is great especially his new duet with his daughter Georgette. I can't believe how much she looks like her mother Tammy Wynette. Just compare the side by side pictures on the inside of the CD cover and you'll see what I'm talking about. I took my Dad on Fathers Day a couple of years ago to see George Jones in concert and we still talk about that show to this day over some cold beers. This is a great album with great duets - BUY NOW!!!!!!!
