| | George Jones 40 Years Of Duets CD George Jones Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
Along with Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers, George Jones has recorded a myriad amount of duets throughout his long career in country music. For this compilation, Time/Life and Sony gathered 20 of the best beginning in the early to mid-'60s with Virginia Spurlock, Margie Singleton and Gene Pitney, through the '70s with ex-wife Tammy Wynette, (excluding "One," which is from their 1995 reunion album), and several Top Ten's from the '80s including "Yesterday's Wine" with Merle Haggard and "We Didn't See a Thing" with Ray Charles and Chet Atkins. These are the original recordings drawing from Jones' tenure on United Artists, Mercury, Musicor, Epic and MCA. While the material is spread out evenly in decades and in chronological order, the one complaint with 40 Years of Duets is that there is too much great music missing; this could have easily been a two-disc set! ~ Al Campbell

40 Years Of Duets
$7.29 R.I.D.E., the title of Trick Pony's third album, stands for "Rebellious Individuals Delivering Entertainment." Of course, in 2000's Nashville, rebelling could often mean playing straight-up old-school country while not taking oneself too seriously, two pursuits at which Trick Pony excels. A slice of good-time barroom country rock, R.I.D.E. manages to sound staunchly traditional while never sticking too close to a formula. Primary lead vocalist Heidi Newfield comes off like a bawdy mix of Tanya Tucker, Loretta Lynn, and Mae West, delivering the pure honky-tonk of "Ain't Wastin' Good Whiskey On You" and the tears-in-your-beer emotion of "When I Fall" with equal panache. It's guitarist Keith Burns, however, who delivers the record's most accessible song ...
| | George Jones 50 Years Of Hits CDs (2004)
40 Years Of Duets
$19.05 Even the title of the three-disc George Jones collection 50 YEARS OF HITS should be enough to tell you that the man being anthologized is one of the all-time giants of country music. A towering influence on all that followed him, not only in country but in rock and pop as well, Jones started out in the 1950s as a Hank Williams-influenced honky-tonk man who wasn't afraid of a little rockabilly either (the Hank influence is clearly audible on such early tracks as "Just One More"). By the '60s, he'd refined his approach, taking a bit from the jazz-inflected ...
| | George Jones Hits I Missed... And One I Didn't CD (2005)
40 Years Of Duets
$12.59 True to its title, HITS I MISSED...AND ONE I DIDN'T consists mainly of songs George Jones initially declined to record that became big hits for other country singers. This 2005 release finds the older, wiser Jones finally getting around to putting his unmistakable mark on these already-classic tunes. The opening cut, "Funny How Time Slips Away," ...

| | Lee Ann Womack Call Me Crazy CD (2008) Digipak
40 Years Of Duets
$11.05 After flirting with the pop mainstream with hit singles like "I Hope You Dance," Lee Ann Womack came decidedly back to country with 2005's THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, an unapologetic stylistic throwback to the days when Patsy Cline and Kitty Wells ruled the country charts. While CALL ME CRAZY is nearly as traditionalist in its sound, and every bit as strong as a set of songs, it sounds perhaps a little more contemporary--more Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton than Patsy and Kitty--and includes highlights like first single "Last Call" and a pair of duets with Keith Urban and George Strait. CALL ME CRAZY ...

| | Harry Connick, Jr Only You CD (2004)
40 Years Of Duets
$7.59 In the liner notes of ONLY YOU, crooner Harry Connick tells how the impetus for the album was Columbia honcho Donny Ienner's request for the singer to record some songs from Ienner's youth (1950s/'60s hits). Whether this was an entreaty or an ultimatum, Connick sagely turned it to his advantage, inching up a decade or two from his usual selection process and cherry-picking some of the finest tunes from that era (even if a couple were originally written decades earlier). Connick breaks some new stylistic ground ...
