Biography

GEORGE GLENN JONES was born in 1931 in the East Texas town of Saratoga. As a kid he sang for tips on the streets of nearby Beaumont. By age 24, he had been married twice, served in the Marines and was a veteran of the Texas honky-tonk circuit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality album from the nineties 31 May 2004
By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
The title track of this excellent mid-nineties album is something a little different from George, poking fun at a redneck attempting to adjust to high technology. Some of George's fans may not like this track but they need not worry too much as the rest of the album is exactly what his fans expect from him.

The second song, I've still got some hurting to do, is a typical George Jones ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Never bit a bullet like this - a duet with Sammy Kershaw - is particularly interesting. Sammy's voice is very similar to George's and some people felt the similarity was just too much. By recording with Sammy, George sent out a message that he approved of Sammy.

Some of these songs may be familiar to country fans already. Chad Brock covered The visit. Waylon Jennings was the first to record Silent partners - it can be found on his album Too dumb for New York City. Patty Loveless covered A thousand times a day - it appeared on her classic album, Trouble with the truth. The most famous song here is, of course, Hello Darling - a Conway Twitty classic.

So this is yet another brilliant album from George, who set the standard for male country singers and remains a huge influence to this day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bland 18 July 2004
By M. F. Tarrant
Format:Audio CD
Bland, overproduced, full of filler songs. I bought this as I am a massive Jones fan and have thirty or so of his albums so far. However, if ou start hear you may wonder what the fuss is about, on this sad sorry set George just doesnt get to shine and the whole thing feels flat and lifeless.

Iff you want a recent Jones cd go for 'cold hard truth' which is an immediate classic of try some of his original albums form the 60's and 70's. This man has got the most fantastic emotional and expressive voice - but you wont appreciate it fully here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contains absolutely no filler... 4 Dec 2004
By Stephen Cabral - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
My kind of C&W. This was released in 1993 and at only 31 minutes long contains absolutely no filler. Title cut is pretty funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars CD, cassette, and digital tape... 26 Jan 2003
By Jerry McDaniel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
when most critics like to point out how light-hearted and goofy the majority of his MCA years were, they're all thinking of this album and it's collection of great songs. how ironic is it that Jones took "High Tech Redneck" all the way to #24 on the charts {his highest charted solo song during the entire 1990s} but for some reason nobody likes it? this album shows that George Jones can sing 'new country' if he wants to. i have no gripe about this album and it's odd hearing him sing "Hello Darlin" in his own unique style after being raised on Conway Twitty's distinct approach to the song. George sounds like the George of the mid '70s on "Hello Darlin" and a lot of that has to do with the vocal delivery and the song's classic arrangement. "The Visit", a modest hit for Chad Brock seven years later, is more chilling with George's delivery. "I've Still Got Some Hurtin Left To Do" is the stand-out track. i also like "The Love in Your Eyes" because it reminds me of his 1978 hit "I'll Just Take It Out in Love". another song, "A Thousand Times a Day", was first first recorded on this CD before Patty Loveless had a hit with it in 1998. this is a great CD and the fact that it's named after a novelty song shouldn't distract you from buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 1 July 1999
By Susan Bumbalo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is great country music; every song is very good. Especially good is "I've Still Got Some Hurting..."--wow! Along with I LIVED TO TELL IT ALL, this is George Jones' best work of the 80s and 90s.
