George “No Show” Jones is an American country singer whose history is littered with acrimonious broken marriages, alcoholism and drug abuse, but whose place in the Country Music Hall of Fame is assured as a result of his huge success in the charts throughout his long career.

His first hit was “Why, Baby, Why” which was released in 1955. It was his third release, but the first to chart. His debut… Read more in Amazon's George Jones Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music and beautiful stories in song (poetry), March 30, 2005
By Michael Milford (Brunswick, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
Go to any Waffle House at 10:00 in the evening and catch the guy sitting at the counter smoking a cigarette and looking at the air, a half-emty cigarette pack on the counter, an ashtray with a couple of cigarette butts in it, and a cup of coffee. Many of these songs capture the feelings of this fella -- divorced, missing his kids 'cause his wife left him and he don't get to see them much, and he's working all the time, and he's wondering how he's gonna pay all them bills, and how he hates going back to the four walls of the place he stays now, and how he hurts, and how there ain't nobody to talk to, nothing to do except smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, and worry.

Lyrics: THE GRAND TOUR:
"Step right up, come on in, if you'd like to take the grand tour of the lonely house that once was home sweet home. I have nothing here to sell you, just some things that I will tell you, some things I know will chill you to the bone. Over there sits the chair where she'd bring the paper to me, and sit down on my knee and whisper, 'Oh, I love you.' But now she's gone forever, and this old house will never be the same without the love that we once knew. Straight ahead that's the bed where we lay in love together, and Lord knows we had a good thing going here. See her picture on the table, don't it look like she'd be able just to touch me and say, 'Good morning dear.' There's her rings, all her things, and her clothes are in the closet like she left them when she tore my world apart. As you leave you'll see the nursery. Oh, she left me without mercy taking nothing but our baby and my heart. Step right up come on in . . . ."

These are great songs, great stories, poems really. Songs like "A Picture of Me Without You", "The Grand Tour" and "He Stopped Loving Her Today."

And then there's "White Lightning", "The Race is On", "The Corvette Song". These are songs you may have heard your dad sing out of tune or in his funny unique way as the song played on your AM radio station like mine did listening to old WPLO in Atlanta.

Nobody except George Jones can sings many of these songs. It wouldn't be right if anybody tried. Feelings, especially hurting, sadness is shown not told. That's what makes them easy to apply to each of our own unique experiences. We all find the connection. That's what makes them so special.

This is a great collection of George Jones songs. Like another reviewer, CD 2 is my favorite, but the others don't slouch. I can't listen to "He Stopped Loving Her Today" without getting a lump in my throat or a tear in my eye. Thank God for George Jones.

5.0 out of 5 stars george jones NEVER disappoints, November 20, 2004
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.
