5.0 out of 5 stars Can I give it a 10?, October 4, 2001

You want the best? Well here he is. I've grown up listening to George Jones and one thing that you can always bet on, is that with each album, he's gonna keep going strong and getting better. While "getting better" may be putting it wrong (how could he ever top "Who's gonna fill their shoes?"), he certainly never falters. At 70 years old, his voice still shines and can still knock me through the wall. George Jones has seen and done more than any living rock star and has lived to tell about it (not unlike Johnny Cash). Tearing the plastic off the cd and putting it in my player, I felt instantly at home with "the rock". His albums all have that familiar tone yet he takes you throug a different experience with each tune.

To all the younger generation out there (I'm one of 'em) who want to hear some music played with real talent and compassion, pick up a George Jones or Merle Haggard album. Those guys are the real deal and put all of today's pretenders to shame. Disregard what your friends say about country music and form your own opinion. Listening to country music won't make you a hick, people.

If you're a long-time Jones fan, what are you waiting for? Go get it now. If you're new to country and want a real musical experience, look no further. If you don't love "Wood and Wire", then you don't have a soul. Damn, this is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ROCK- GEORGE JONES NEVER SOUNDED BETTER!, October 4, 2001

I've been waiting for this cd for 2 years, ever since the release of "Cold Hard Truth" the Possum's last cd, I've been looking forward to his new album. I have NOT been let down! No way! This cd is a must for all George Jones Fans, and the casual country music fan. At 70 his voice sounds more rich & pure than ever. The songs picked on this cd are golden. "The Rock" is spellbinding, "Beer Run" shows Jones & Garth Brooks having a ball! This cd is a good balance of uptempo songs & ballads that are George Jones trademark. "Honey Hush" is an absolute favorite of mine, as well as "Tramp On Your Street". I dearly hope the Possum's voice never let's him down. On this new release, he hits all the high & low notes, no one does it better than the incomparable GEORGE GLENN JONES. Now if only this cd can go straight to #1 on the charts, then the Possum will get well deserved recognition. He will never need a rocking'chair!

5.0 out of 5 stars THERE IS JONES AND THEN THERE IS THE REST, October 8, 2001

George is no doubt on another level and noone will ever come close to touching him! At 70 years old he is still able to take Garth out behind the wood shed and give him a gool ol whipping!
This man is fighting the cause for all of us TRUE country fans and we all need to do our part and show him how thankful we are to still have the KING of country music still around. Believe me, after hearing the first song(The Rock) you will be in honky tonk heaven. This makes the sixth decade that Jones has graced us with his voice and after hearing this album there is no doubt that he is just getting started. THE LEGEND LIVES ON!
