Music reviews of 16 Biggest Hits
Music Review: Jones Country
Rating: 5 Stars
this album contains random singles that George recorded between 1972 and 1989. there's 16 songs as the title suggests so how can anyone look at a 17 year span and pick out just 16? i know that Epic/Sony has a series of CDs under the "16 Biggest Hits" banner but when it comes to George Jones it's hard to compile hits collections on him because even the singles that didn't fly up the charts were still outstanding. Epic picks the obvious hits ( 1974's "The Grand Tour" and "The Door"; 1980's "He Stopped Loving Her Today"; 1981's "Still Doin' Time"; and 1985's "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?") and sprinkles in late '80s hits that usually get overlooked (1986's "Wine Colored Roses" and "The Right Left Hand"; 1989's "The King is Gone") on other collections. still, this album is only for people who haven't found a CD copy of his 1982 album "Anniversary:Ten Years of Hits". the CD DOES contain "She's My Rock" but his other 1984 Top-10 hit "You've Still Got a Place In My Heart" is once again not spotlighted. the great "Radio Lover" {recorded in 1983 and it can be found on the JONES COUNTRY album but it wasn't released as a single until 1989!} WAS a chart hit (it peaked at #62 on Billboard i think?). notable singles they left off that should have gotten included: 1976's "Her Name Is..."; 1977's "If I Could Put Them All Together"; 1987's "The Bird", "I'm a Survivor", and "The Old Man No One Loves"; 1982's duets with Merle Haggard "Yesterday's Wine" and "C.C. Waterback"; 1989's "I'm a One Woman Man"; 1985's "The One I Loved Back Then"; 1988's duet with Shelby Lynne on "If I Could Bottle This Up"; and the list goes on and on of the material during 1972-1989 that they had the tough job to choose from. all in all an excellant CD but not a "must-have" by any means.
Description of 16 Biggest Hits
Top 10 smashes abound: A Picture of Me (Without You); What My Woman Can't Do; These Days (I Barely Get By); Bartender's Blues; Still Doin' Time; I Always Get Lucky with You; Wine Colored Roses; The Right Left Hand; Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes , and more!In the third decade of his career, already long famous, George Jones followed his new lover Tammy Wynette to Epic, where he offered his incomparable voice to her producer, Billy Sherrill. The singles Jones released with Sherrill--"The Grand Tour," "The Door," "He Stopped Loving Her Today," to name just three--elevated Jones from great country singer to living legend. This 16-track set skips far too many Jones-Sherrill highlights (and it oddly includes "Radio Lover," one "biggest hit" that was never a hit at all), but it's the only one-disc set to provide an overview of the team's entire 17-year partnership. From 1972's poignantly countrypolitan "A Picture of Me" to the grim humor of 1989's "The King Is Gone," no country music is as painfully beautiful as this. --David Cantwell
