A few weeks ago George Jones turned 74. The fact that, well into his sixth decade as a recording artiste, he can still turn out an album as good as this is pretty amazing.
In my opinion it's his best since Cold Hard Truth, and that I thought was one of his finest ever (I've been a GJ fan since the early 1960s).
Inevitably the voice is creaking a little now but George stays within its limits and delivers the songs superbly with that inimitable Jones style. Such a welcome relief from all those singers who all sound the same as each other.
His duet with Dolly Parton on 'The Blues Man' is my favourite track; like George, she has developed a rawer edge to her trademark tones, and this makes for a memorable performance. Other tracks I'd like to single out are: 'Here in the Real World' which I think George sings with much more conviction than his good friend Alan Jackson; and his re-recording of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' which seems more convincing and somehow more melodic than the original.
Many, including me, consider George Jones to be the finest country singer ever, and it's a treat to listen to this album and know that it goes a long way to validate this opinion. Unfortunately, it probably won't get George much air time on U.S. Country radio stations.

Another good album from George Jones. Not a bad song on it. OK, so he may not sound the same as he did when he started 50 years ago - but how many other singers have stayed popular for that long? Not many I can think of.
He excels on "Skip A Rope", "Busted" & "Detroit City". And you just have to love that final "He Stopped Loving Her Toddaaaaa--yyyyyyy" :)
Doing "The Blues Man" as a duet with Dolly was a brilliant move, the song is perfect for George - lyrics like "I got cuffed on dirt roads" is accompianed in the video by footage of him being arrested in the 60s/70s, and "I got sued over No Shows" is perfect, lol
Theres talk that this may be his final album, and even if it is its a good way to go.
