| wonderful collection it is great to hear the "old songs" of george. This is my first George Jones CD and I love it. My fav disc would have to be the first one, but all of it is good. By joyce (north louisiana, usa) |
| Jones at his best This is an excellent summary of Jones' six-decade career. Although some key songs ("Lovebug," "Golden Ring," "Tennesee Whiskey," "The Door" and others), this cd is a must for all fans of country music." By Steve (Houston, Texas, U.S.A.) |
