Synopsis

Album Description

Raven presents the most comprehensive cd collection of george jones from the 1970s - step right up: 1970-1979 a critical anthology. With 78 minutes of superb quality audio and informative liner notes, this is an essential chapter from the artist's acclaimed body of astonishing work. Step right up boasts 10 us country top 10 hits (including two #1 smashes), five more top 30 charting singles plus 13 key album tracks - 28 tracks in all! It captures the moment when he made the transition from honky-tonk journeyman to country music icon and household name. Beginning with his last years at musicor and documenting the maturation of his affecting, nuanced ballad style when he was recording for epic under the watchful eye of master producer billy sherrill, this multi-label compilation features the songs and performances on which his legendary status rests.

CD Reviews

Some almost forgotten nuggets too.

"Any survey of Jones' best 70's material would logically include a good chunk of what's already on Epic's Anniversary collection. Step Right Up is no exception. There are 7, pre Epic, Musicor singles which open this set and they're all quality Jones. Even the Epic material chose a few different from Anniversary, but much like Anniversay, it is the sequencing of the tracks that make this collection just as enjoyable as that classic. For all the hits present and accounted for, decisions about what to include involved more than simply chart success. Enthusiasts will enjoy the benefits of that process and newcomers would do well to start with such a healthy portion of prime Possum."

Why I Liked The 70's!

"This CD is vintage Jones. Some of the songs on this Cd were not big hits but they are great songs only because of the way George Jones sings them."

TOP NOTCH MUSIC

"First 0f all, ANYTHING by George Jones has to be top notch... and this is no exception. I personally have these songs all on other collections, but if you don't, and you enjoy the great George Jones, you NEED this!

I just wish they had included more Musicor singles, but maybe next they'll do a "1960-69" in which would be the absolute BEST Jones material of all times... his masterpieces for Murcury, United Artists and Musicor.

All I can say is buy this, and enjoy the best voice ever in Country Music singing the best music of the 1970's."
