4.0 out of 5 stars Jones At Home With Hits & Standards, May 29, 2003

By	Tom (Pgh PA) - See all my reviews

The Green, Green Grass Of Home CD features songs included on the US album releases Green, Green Grass Of Home and Funny, Familair, Forgotten Feelings. Many of the songs included are remakes of classic country western genre songs, along with a few standards such as "My Mother's Eyes". Jones even covers the legendary Johnny Cash with a more rock oriented update of "ring Of Fire". Most of the songs tend to the romantic ballad side, although musical arrangements mostly stay true to a more country and less orchestral sound, which was uncommon for Jones in the late 60's. The highlight is the title track, an international smash hit single that gave Jones his second #1 hit in the UK and his first major hit single of consequence in the US after the teen following of "It's Not Unusual" and "What's New Pussycat" from two years earlier.
