Free Music Notes for George Jones: The Great Lost Hits (2CD)
Free Music Review: The Musicor Hits of George Jones
Hit: 5 Stars
This double disc set gathers all the hits Jones cut for the Pappy Daily owned Musicor label from 1965 to 1971, when Jones left to join Epic Records with Tammy Wynette. The recordings have been out of print due to legal issues for years in the U.S., but many cut-rate CDs with inferior recordings and alternate takes have been around. The versions on these CDs are the original versions of the hits.
Some of Jones' best loved hits are here: "Walk Through This World With Me," "A Good Year For the Roses," and "Things Have Gone to Pieces" among them. The sound is outstanding and the liner notes do a nice job of summing up this phase of Jones' career. This two-disc set is the best way for the average fan to get these hits; Bear Family out of Germany recently put out a five and four disc set covering the entire Musicor output, but that's a bit much for most fans and very pricey. Jones recorded more than 200 songs in his time at Musicor, but the best of those are here.
It's my hope that this set sells well and Time-Life sees fit to put out another edition consisting of album cuts and the hidden gems in from Jones' Musicor years. If you don't have these songs, this is a missing piece in the George Jones discography.
George Jones: The Great Lost Hits (2CD) Poster
LOST GEORGE JONES HITS -- FIRST TIME EVER ON CD! Includes 2 Unreleased Tracks!Many consider George Jones to be the greatest singer in country music history, but a number of his best-loved recordings from his chart-topping years have never been available on CD. Jones recorded for Musicor Records from 1965 until 1972,
when he was at the peak of his vocal form, and for years these tracks have been tied up in litigation and haven't been available on CD, until now.
Time Life is proud to release GEORGE JONES: THE GREAT LOST HITS and conducted extensive research to identify the best sources for sound quality on this fabulous collection. The productions are simple and to the point -- a voice like
George's needs no more ornamentation than it has here. This is the gold standard of country singing.
Our 34-song, 2-CD collection includes his all-time classics like 'A Good Year for the Roses,' 'Walk through this World with Me,' 'I'll Share My World with You,' 'Love Bug,' and 'When the Grass Grows over Me.' We've also included the original version of 'Beneath Still Waters' (later a #1 country hit for Emmylou Harris) and 'Your Angel Steps out of Heaven' (later recorded by Elvis Costello, Flying Burrito Brothers and others). Plus we've got the original version of 'Where Grass Won't
Grow,' later re-recorded by George with Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris.
George Jones is the gold standard of country vocalists, and his distinctive voice evokes the raw emotions caused by grief, love, and emotional hardship. There is no doubt that Jones helped set the standard for modern country music.
