Performer: George Jones
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Also available in a 3-pack with SUPER HITS and GEORGE & TAMMY SUPER HITS. George Jones remains one of the greatest country singers of all time. His decades spanning career has been powered by a voice that one writer called "the male Billie Holiday." SUPER HITS VOL. 2 contains a fine cross-section of his work in the '70s and '80s for the Epic label. These songs were produced by Billy Sherrill, who had a tendency to over-produce. Yet Jones' voice cuts through any syrupy orchestrations and vocal choruses right to the heart. This set contains the classic honky-tonk of "She Thinks I Still Care" and the strutting "One Woman Man" along with the slightly more modern-poppy "Radio Lover." Like many country albums, it's a little short on playing time, but it's ahead of many Jones's sheer vocal presence.
George Jones is the greatest of country singers but he has also been a victim of the infamous hard-living honky-tonk lifestyle. Though he's gone through several phases, from rockabilly to honky-tonk to countrypolitan, his melismatic, Lefty Frizell-influenced style has remained at the core of his unique sound. His stormy marriage to Tammy Wynette (1969-75) included duet albums of love songs and bitter recriminations. By the late '70s, his drinking and cocaine addiction had made him so unreliable that he was known as "No Show Jones." In 1979 he received medical treatment and staged a significant comeback with I AM WHAT I AM, which included his greatest single, "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
