| | George Jones Super Hits Vol. 2 CD George Jones Discography of CDs
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. Super Hits Vol. 2 Review

Super Hits Vol. 2 album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, ...
| | Brad Paisley American Saturday Night CD (2009)
Super Hits Vol. 2 CD music
$12.95  
An American saturday night is not an unusual topic for a country song but Brad Paisley's celebration is. Paisley sees a typical weekend night as a cultural collision of French kisses, Italian Ices, Canadian bacon and margaritas, a place where Mexican and Dutch beers chill side by side in a bucket of ice. If he leans too heavily on labels, referring to those beers by brand name, it's merely a reflection of Paisley's uncanny knack for capturing the casual contemporary details of American life at the tail end of the 2000s. It's not just the pile up of iPhones and international video chats on "Welcome to the Future," the first country anthem of the Obama era, it's how he'll pick up prescription for his girl and flips macho stereotypes on their head on "The Pants." He's a thoroughly modern man and that attitude helps invigorate his traditional country, a sensibility that's welcome ...

| | Ewan MacColl Big Hewer CD (1959) (Import) United Kingdom
Super Hits Vol. 2 album
$15.59
In many ways, The Big Hewer works in a way that's different from the other radio ballads. It uses the testimony of miners from several areas of Britain, interspersed with song (most notably the recurring "Go Down") by Ewan MacColl, and sound effects from the mines. But it also evokes a bigger, mythical figure: the Big Hewer, the towering figure of different coalfields. From the old-style "drift mines" to the shafts going far into the earth to the modern, largely automated mines, MacColl, Peggy Seeger, and Charles Parker saw how life was lived and had the miners recount it all, from going down the pit for the first time at 14 to those who never came out and their lives away from the collieries. The songs, such as "When I Am Down the Pit," are wonderfully written and performed with joy by artists like A.L. Lloyd and Louis Killen. It's impossible to avoid the subject of death since it surrounds the miners, and it's not shied away from, from the miners talking to the wives who have to wait. And it's an industry that's an important part of British history, having fueled the Industrial Revolution, as "Three Hundred Years I Hewed at the Coal by Hand" recounts. More than anything, ...

$10.75
While certainly not a household name, the late Groovy Joe Poovey first gained national attention as one of the opening acts for Elvis Presley when he appeared on the Big "D" Jamboree in the mid-'50s. Later in his career he wrote several country songs that were recorded by George Jones, Willie Nelson, Wynn Stewart, and Johnny Paycheck, to name a few. These 20 tracks, from the vaults of the Little Darlin' label, highlight both the rockabilly screamers and honky tonk ...
