5.0 out of 5 stars a honky-tonkin' unheralded masterpiece, January 26, 2003

By	Jerry McDaniel (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

this CD was his first for MCA in 1991 ...this CD is a honky-tonk album and it highlighted by "You Done Me Wrong" and "Honky Tonk Myself to Death". the other eight songs are just as great particularly the laments "Angels Don't Fly" and "She Loved a Lot in Her Time". the novelty song on the album is "Heckel and Jeckel". i love "You Couldn't Get The Picture" with the crisp piano work. for those of you who remember George Strait's 1996 hit, "King of the Mountain", well, George Jones actually recorded it first on this CD. this is a great honky-tonk album as was his follow-up in 1992, WALLS CAN FALL. however, those two CDs were produced by Kyle Lehning and Emory Gordy, Jr. respectively and since 1993 he's been closely associated with producer's Norro Wilson and Buddy Cannon. AND ALONG CAME JONES shows us that if given the proper material, he could've recorded one hundred versions of his celebrated 1980 album I AM WHAT I AM {meaning that all ten tracks are outstanding}. get this CD and you'll be shocked that Jones is just as spry and vocally amazing at 60 just as he was at 50 or 45 years of age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dan Morris from Columbia SC, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This is a hell of an album, that many Jones fans don't own. Angels don't Fly, She Loved Alot in Her Time, and King of the Mountain (later recorded by George Strait) are dynamite ballads. His You Done Me Wrong is my favorite song on the album. The only song that isn't up to Jones' usual standards is You Couldn't Get the Picture, but its Jones' voice and you know that can't be bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Jones, September 1, 2003

By	William Hollen (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews

I thought I had heard the best of Jones until I heard "Where the Tall Grass Grows". What a song! And what could top that other than " You Couldn't Get the Picture". Two great songs that really tell you that George Jones is simply the BEST. I love him. The others are really good as well, but for the Jones twang, you must hear these two for sure.
