________________________________________
So far, George has released four albums like this, where different guests duet
on different tracks, the others being My very special guests, Ladies choice and
Bradley barn sessions, so he obviously enjoys this kind of project.
At the time this album was recorded, eight of the singers were current or past
country stars while two were unknown. One of those unknowns - Shelby Lynne - has
since become a very successful singer, while the other - Tim Mensy - had some
success as a singer but has achieved greater success as a songwriter. The eight
established stars have all ended their hit-making days, though Emmylou continues
to be successful - her albums still sell well.
The big country hit from this album was A few old country boys (with Randy Travis).
Emmylou is outstanding on All fall down - not the first or last time she recorded a
song with George. Charlie Daniels is brilliant on Fiddle and guitar band. Vern Gosdin
is an ideal partner on All that we've got left. Buck joins George for a revival of
one of Buck's old hits, Love's gonna live here. Shelby showed that she was a star in
the making on If I could bottle this up, her very first recording, although stardom
proved more elusive than expected. I've been there is a great fun song. Ricky Skaggs
joins George on You can't do wrong and get by, another great song. Ricky Van Shelton
swings well on It hurts as much in Texas. Traveller's prayer, an excellent duet with
Sweethearts of the rodeo, closes a fine album.
If you enjoy listening to George Jones and you want more than just the hits, this is
well worth a listen. Some of the tracks are available on albums by the other singers
but most are not.
