Synopsis

Product Description

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the classic 1963 George Jones album that took him from up-tempo Country star to the netherworld of aching melancholy. The title alone sums up the great man and his interpretations of Don Williams' 'Oh Lonesome Me' and a couple of Hank Williams' broodier ballads make this an absolute must for yearning lovelorn music fans anywhere. Enhanced with half a dozen cutz from his earliest '50s 78 recording, the mood is supremely downbeat, even when the tempo lifts. 18 tracks Righteous. 2009

CD Reviews

Old Mercury Best of... plus bonus 78s

attentive listener | Joysey | 06/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a Best Of from the earliest phase in George's recording career. It originally came out in 63' and is thematic in nature around the themes of being Blue & Lonesome, something Possum's catalog had enough of to choose a Best Of, even at this early juncture. George was already on to UA, by the time Mercury got this to market, but it's a solid collection, nonetheless. This first time on CD's remastering of the original 12 song lp is terrific. They have tacked on, what they describe as, another 6 songs from Possum's very earliest 78s, also built on the B&L theme. Approximately a full third of the CD are tunes you might find on other Jones' compilations, his hits. The other two thirds are less well known but solid and well programmed within the theme. If you're a fan, you might really enjoy the sequencing and remastering. Others could do worse for an introduction to George's Mercury years."
