Music reviews of Walk Through This World With Me - The Complete Musicor Recordings, 1965-1971 (Part 1)

Music Review: Muddy Possum
Rating: 3 Stars

About ten years ago I decided George Jones was the greatest vocalist of the 20th century. I set out to find every commercially released George Jones record. There were great compilations from the Mercury years, the United Artists years, and the Epic years. Strangely, the only Musicor stuff was available on budget CD's and cassettes. Even career-spanning retrospectives like Sony/Legacy's 2-CD best of and Rhino's 1-CD compilations only had 2 or 3 Musicor titles. Even George's "50 Years of Hits" compilation had zero Musicor titles.

Apparently, the notoriously eccentric Aubrey Mayhew owned the Musicor masters and wouldn't license them to anyone. He licensed his Starday and King holdings to everyone, but the Musicor stuff was strangely held back, except for the budget-line CD's and cassettes usually found in non-traditional retail outlets like truck stops.

I bought every single budget-line cassette and CD and put them together on CDR's. I then started discovering multitudes of Musicor LP's on ebay and other places and started buying those, along with Mercury, Starday, Epic, and United Artists LP's.

Why oh why wouldn't Bear Family or some other label do justice to George Jones' staggering body of work? Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, dozens of others have seen their entire catalogues reissued by Bear Family and eased the minds (and wallets) of us country music fanatics. Now I think I have answers to all of my questions.

It pains me to type type this, having purchased dozens of Bear Family boxed sets and single disc sets, but the sound quality on this is awful. The latter half of the box sounds like they were transferring the songs from 7th or 8th generation tapes that had been sitting in a leaky 300 degree attic. The high end on the tapes is gone - the low end is muddy, and the whole thing should have been left on the shelf. I'm guessing anyone that approached Mayhew or whomever had these tapes backed off when they heard what awful shape the masters were in.

Had I been in Bear Family's shoes, I might have searched high and low for clean copies of the vinyl to reissue, as my LP's fidelity is heads and shoulders above the damaged tapes presented here.

That being said, the session information and discography presented within are invaluable. Roughly 40 per cent of the box does sound great, it's the latter 60 per cent that has massive problems. I do question why they would hire Rich Kienzle to pen the liners, as he apparently hates the Musicor material and bad-mouths it throughout his notes in this set (and elsewhere in his allmusic.com reviews). "Hey, thanks for buying this boxed set, too bad George Jones' Musicor stuff sucks!"

Buyer beware on this one - it would be worth your while to hunt down the original vinyl and burn your own box. I was so excited when I saw this on Bear's release schedule - I've been waiting for this for a decade. If you are in the mood for a George Jones Bear Box, I'd stick with "She Thinks I Still Care," the United Artists years.

Description of Walk Through This World With Me - The Complete Musicor Recordings, 1965-1971 (Part 1)

(5-CD LP-sized box set + 48 page book) These were George Jones' truly classic years. After more than a decade as one of country music's top stars, newfound maturity and soulfulness augmented what was already the greatest voice in country music. The six years from 1965 to 1971 that Jones spent on Musicor Records were marked by personal turmoil and unprecedented success, but through it all he kept minting one country standard after another. This is the first part of Bear Family's comprehensive two volume edition of Jones' complete Musicor recordings, covering all sessions from 1965 until mid-1967. Until now, the Musicor sides were randomly packaged and many were unavailable, but the two Bear Family boxes (plus one CD of duets with Gene Pitney available elsewhere on Bear Family) will tell the complete story. Here are the fabulous original albums, including his tribute to Dallas Frazier and the duet albums with Melba Montgomery, plus such all-time George Jones standards as Things Have Gone To Pieces, Love Bug, Take Me, I'm A People, Four-O-Thirty Three, and one of the greatest ever country classics, Walk Through This World With Me. It's all here in stunningly restored sound together with ten previously unissued recordings, including fabulous early versions of Love Bug and Take Me, recorded in Houston.

In all, this set includes 142 songs on five CDs, plus two complete sessions from Houston with false starts and alternate takes. In 1971, George Jones broke acrimoniously from Musicor's co-owner, Pappy Daily, who'd discovered and nurtured him, to join his new wife, Tammy Wynette, on Epic Records. The hits, of course, would continue, but George Jones would never sound as good again!

This set includes liner notes by Rich Kienzle and a complete discography by Don Roy, Kittra Moore, and Richard Weize.
