Free Music Notes for Walk Through This World With Me - The Complete Musicor Recordings, 1965-1971 (Part 1)Free Music Review: so good, it's almost worth the wait ....
Like at least one other reviewer I also consider G. Jones the finest country singer alive (or dead), so it's a huge relief to finally have this first collection of Jones' Musicor recordings, with the second also now available. I can't really comment about the sound, as I've mostly been listening in the car, but I wouldn't dismiss the listed opinion regarding the possibility of less-than-pristine master tapes from which Bear Family produced these CD's. In any case, the sound seems fine to me, without really anything to compare except for all those dubious Dutch and Spanish CD's of Musicor material, whose sound was sometimes awful. It seems to me that Bear Family has done the best (as they almost always do) with the source material(s) they have. I'm another one who is somewhat put off by the lukewarm sometimes condescending tone of Rich Kienzle in his notes. I've always enjoyed Kienzle's writing and I have great respect for his country music historical knowledge, but one significant aspect of George Jones' artistry has totally escaped Kienzle, and that is Jones' ability to elevate the material, to make a mediocre song good and a good song absolutely great. Come on, Rich! Calling "Flowers for Mama" "bathos-plagued," and complaining about Jones' recitation in the song?? Referring to "I Just Lost My Favorite Girl" as a "flat ballad?" Country Music was built on emotionally raw, maudlin songs like this and Jones proves his magnificence as a singer by carrying off these songs and many such others in this set. I hope no-one is discouraged from buying this set by my or any other review ... No one in country music history, and few other singers of any other genre can match the combination of raw emotion and assured grace which George Jones brings to a song. In terms of percentage, there is probably more good/great material here than on the UA set (also strongly recommended, nevertheless.)
