George Jones - 50 Years of Hits [3 CD Set]

George Jones is often cited as the finest vocalist in the history of country music. Initially Jones was a hardcore honky-tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams but over the course of his career developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In a career that has spanned over 50 years, he has seldom left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Although he is perhaps best known for He Stopped Loving Her Today, She Thinks I Still Care, and The Window Up Above, his greatest hit remains the 1961 romantic ballad Tender Years.

In the five years following his first charted hit, Why Baby Why, Jones also proved himself an accomplished songwriter. Although less prominent in this area than other noted singer-songwriters, of his first 20 hits, 16 of them, including the classic Window Up Above, were either written by Jones alone or with a collaborator. After 1960, however, he composed only a few more hits. His last such song came in 1975, giving Jones a total of 30 hits in this field. Among songs he wrote that were hits for other artists is Life to Go, a 1958 Number 2 hit for Stonewall Jackson. ~ Much more information available at Wikipedia
