GEORGE GLENN JONES was born in 1931 in the East Texas town of Saratoga. As a kid he sang for tips on the streets of nearby Beaumont.

5.0 out of 5 stars george jones NEVER disappoints, November 20, 2004
This review is from: 50 Years of Hits (Audio CD)
He's incapable of it! This 3-disc compilation is a must for any Jones fan. Disc 2 is my favorite - it has many of his Billy Sherrill-era hits on it, and it's sweet to have them back to back on one cd. But the cds with early years hits and later stuff are great too. You cannot quibble with such greatness. George Jones - one of the world's all time best singers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Are NOT Enough, February 25, 2009
By 
Alan Houston "alanhouston-texas" (Houston, Texas, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 50 Years of Hits (Audio CD)
George Jones is one of the greatest country singers of all time. And, as this 50 song collection proves, he has been recording great music for more than fifty years. These songs include some of the best known "hits", as well as some terrific songs that didn't get much radio play. The sound quality is very impressive, with the songs from the 1960's having terrific sound quality that closely matches today's recordings.

The other thing this collection does is to make clear that George Jones is one of the rare musicians who got better as he got older. Both his singing and his song writing got stronger as he got older.

This collection is a bargain. It brings together songs from several prior "greatest hits" albums, as well as some songs that are very difficult to find. An astounding amount of great music at a very low price.

You don't have to be a George Jones fan to enjoy this collection. Anyone who loves traditional country music or great singing needs to hear George Jones at his very best.
