George Jones

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.

Unlike Razor & Tie's 1997 double-disc collection She Thinks I Still Care: The George Jones Collection (The United Artists Years), Omnivore's 2013 set The Complete United Artists Solo Singles focuses directly on the 45s George Jones released for United Artists between the years 1962 and 1966 (he was only with the label until 1964 but they churned out singles for another two years after his departure). This is a bigger difference than it may initially seem. The 40-track She Thinks I Still Care sampled generously from Jones' duets with Melba Montgomery, his tributes to Bob Wills and Hank Williams, his bluegrass and gospel LPs, which meant there were several singles absent from its track listing.

With no biographical material needed for the iconic George Jones, let s get right to the music: 'A Picture Of Me (Without You)' is quite simply a George Jones masterpiece! Working with producer Billy Sherrill for the first time, Jones found the perfect foil to his now-famous hard honky tonk soul, Sherrill didn t try to tame Jones, but just lasso him in enough to make beautiful music. With many of the finest Nashville songwriters contributing songs, this five-star release (All Music Guide) is called by many the perfect George Jones album. Not to be outdone by its predecessor, Nothing 'Ever Hurt Me (Half As Bad As You)' (Jones second album with producer Billy Sherrill) picks up right where 'A Picture Of Me' left off and never looks back. Another five-star album (All Music Guide), Jones also scored a pair of Top 10 hits with this release (the title track and 'What MyWoman Can t Do'). This is George Jones at his best, and it's on American Beat Records!

Country music doesn't get any more essential than this. The five-disc box set SHE THINKS I STILL CARE is undoubtedly the most awe-inspiring George Jones collection to date. Jones was at his peak during his 1962-'64 stint on the UA label, and some of his most unforgettable recordings hail from this era. You get much more on this set than mere timeless, undeniable gems such as "The Race is On," "She Thinks I Still Care," and "Let's Invite Them Over," though.
