George Jones - Legends Of American Music: The Hits Then 'Til Now [3 CD Set]

Legends Of American Music: The Hits Then 'Til Now is a 3 CD set from Time Life and kicks off with George Jones' first hit single on Starday Records, Why Baby Why, which went to number 4 on the country chart in 1955.

Other songs from his early years are featured, offering a glimpse of his undeniable raw talent and a promise of what was to come.

Included are the 50s pop and country smash White Lightning plus his 60s country hits including She Thinks I Still Care, The Race Is On, A Good Year For the Roses, and Walk Through this World with Me.

After Jones married Tammy Wynette, and their hits mirrored their tormented relationship.

In 1980, he emerged from post-divorce turmoil with He Stopped Loving Her Today, widely considered the greatest country record and the song that earned Jones his first Grammy.

Continuing the story to the present day, the set features all of his latterday hits plus duets with Ray Charles and Chet Atkins, Merle Haggard, James Taylor, the Oak Ridge Boys and others.
