1-CD DigiPac (4-seitig) mit 48-seitigem Booklet, 35 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 82 Minuten. - Der bedeutendste Countrysänger der Geschichte ist eher für seine Balladen bekannt, doch im Lauf seiner Karriere hat er auch rockigere Titel eingespielt - und dann und wann sogar Rockabilly! Dies ist die erste Kopplung mit Jones' rockigeren Nummern, darunter extrem seltene Titel, die es noch nie auf LP und / oder CD gab! Die CD enthält außerdem die Nr.-1-Country-Hits 'Why Baby Why' und 'White Lightnin'' ! - Er ist inzwischen 81 und gilt seit über einem halben Jahrhundert als größter lebender Countrysänger. Viel zu diesem Ruf beigetragen haben seine intensiven, gefühlvollen Balladen, etwa 'He Stopped Loving Here Today', 'The Grand Tour', 'Walk Through This World With Me', 'She Thinks I Still Care' und 'Tender Years'. Aber das ist nur eine Seite des George Jones. Er war genauso gut, wenn es um kräftigeres Material ging - wie zum Beispiel bei seinem ersten Hit 'Why Baby Why'. Er ist hier natürlich enthalten, zusammen mit Raritäten, obskuren Aufnahmen und Beinahe-Hits wie 'No Money In This Deal', 'Too Much Water', 'Tall Tall Trees' (geschrieben von Roger Miller und später ein Nr.-1-Hit für Alan Jackson), 'Nothing Can Stop Me' und 'That's The Way I Feel', 'Revenooer Man' (komponiert von Donny Young, auch bekannt als Johnny Paycheck), 'Who Shot Sam' und 'Sparkling Brown Eyes'. Und dann ist da natürlich noch Jones' einziger Pop- und Nr.-1-Country-Hit 'White Lightnin'', geschrieben vom Big Bopper. - Damit nicht genug! Starday Records zwangen Jones, etliche Rockabilly-Klassiker unter dem Pseudonym Thumper Jones aufzunehmen, darunter 'Rock It' und 'How Come It'. Und weil er knapp bei Kasse war, spielte Jones auch Hits anderer Kollegen für einige Dixie-EPs (Midprice-Serie von Starday) ein; dazu gehörten u. a. 'Heartbreak Hotel' und Johnny Hortons 'I'm A One-Woman Man' (1988 ein Hit, als George es für Epic neu einspielte). Dass es in Jones' Leben auch mal wilder zuging, ist bekannt; diese Zusammenstellung präsentiert 35 seiner angriffslustigsten Aufnahmen für Starday und Mercury - viele davon im klassischen, osttexanischen Honky Tonk Sound. Außerdem gibt es einen Radiospot aus der Starday-Zeit, einen Begleittext von Rich Kienzle sowie eine detaillierte Discographie.
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 48-spage booklet, 35 tracks. Playing time approx. 82 mns. - The greatest singer in country music history is renowned for ballads, but throughout his early career, he recorded rockin' songs... even a little rockabilly! This is the first anthology of Jones' rocking side! Includes extremely rare recordings, unreissued on CD or LP! Also includes the #1 country hits 'Why Baby Why' and 'White Lightnin''! - At 81, George Jones has enjoyed the status of world's greatest living country singer for more than half-century. Much of that reputation is rooted in raw, emotional ballads, such as 'He Stopped Loving Here Today', 'The Grand Tour', 'Walk Through This World With Me', 'She Thinks I Still Care', and 'Tender Years'. But that's only one part of the story. Jones was no less masterful on hotter material starting with his first hit, 'Why Baby Why'. This collection includes that first hit as well as rarities, obscurities, and shoulda-been-hits like 'No Money In This Deal', 'Too Much Water', 'Tall Tall Trees' (written by Roger Miller and later a #1 hit for Alan Jackson), 'Nothing Can Stop Me' and 'That's The Way I Feel', 'Revenooer Man' (written by Donny Young, aka Johnny Paycheck), 'Who Shot Sam', and 'Sparkling Brown Eyes'. And then there's Jones' only major pop hit (and #1 country hit) 'White Lightnin'' (written by the Big Bopper). - There's more! Starday Records coerced Jones into recording several rockabilly classics under the name of Thumper Jones: 'Rock It' and 'How Come It'. Short of cash, Jones also covered other artists' hits for Starday's budget-priced series of Dixie EPs. These included 'Heartbreak Hotel' and Johnny Horton's 'I'm A One-Woman Man' (a 1988 hit when George re-recorded it for Epic). The wilder side of Jones's life is well known; this collection assembles 35 of his most aggressive performances from Starday and Mercury...many of them featuring the classic east Texas honky tonk sound. Plus, there's a rare radio spot from his Starday years, notes by Rich Kienzle, and a detailed discography.
