This is why it's great to check out your local usedbook stores. I found the GEORGE JONES
Very Best songbook, along with a biography of
Gene Vincent, which I will be reviewing shortly.
These songs are early 1980's era George Jones.
I usually don't go past the 80's but George is
one of the few artists who still maintained the
creative quality in the later years. I strongly
urge you to get the Burn Your Playhouse Down
and The Bradley Sessions, which were both
recorded at the same time. The duets with
Keith Richards are obviously the best, but
tracks with Marty Stuart are pretty damn good
too. George (like Keith) has a unique voice
that just gets better with age. Please Keith,
if you do make another solo album, can it
be country? PLEASE! Back to George...
the best songs in this book "I Always get lucky
with you", and She thinks I care" and "Say It's
Not You" are all simple, mostly 3 chord
affairs. Emotional, in an understated way.
Perfect for 2:00 am drinking.
You know what else would be really perfect too?
Being able to get RFD-TV in my neighborhood,
with Time Warner Cable.
Marty Stuart has a show on, and
even though I'm in the NYC area, I'd
still like to be able to get Rural America's
Most Important Network, too! I could
be watching the Praire Farm Report
right now.
