George Jones Album: “16 Biggest Hits: George Jones & Tammy Wynette”

By the time they stepped into the CBS recording studio in 1971 George and Tammy had been married two years, he was already considered one of the great traditional artists in the genre and she was the industry's First Lady. They were sitting on top of the country music world. The downhill slide was only a few years away, but for a brief time they were country music's camelot ... they were the original "Mr. & Mrs. Country Music". Only a few of their duets went number one (GOLDEN RING, WE'RE GONNA HOLD ON) and some seemed to miss the mark all together (THE CEREMONY, A PAIR OF OLD SNEAKERS), but the simple joining of two of country music's most famous voices makes this BIGGEST HITS collection a haunting, biographical journey into the country music of yesterday that shouldn't be forgotten nor missed.

Having been a fan of George and Tammy in the 70's, I decided to purchase this cd and what a stroll down memory lane. I listen to it over and over in the car (and my husband is sick of it!!!) Not only does it have some of my old favorites "Near You", "Two Story House" but the cd ends with "Rollin In My Sweet Babies Arms". It's a GREAT rendition of the song and takes me back to a time when my girlfriends and I were really into bluegrass. If you like George & Tammy, this is a must-have cd. For me it's little like "comfort food".

I love the CD and listen to it everyday. I love the old country music.

It was very good and even better then i thought it would be. Thank You

This collection contains 12 of their 13 Top-40 hits. The one that's missing is "Old Fashioned Singing", a #38 hit from 1972. "Let's Build a World Together" hit #32 but it's here...go figure!? that's why i give this 4 out of 5 stars. the 4 songs that close the album aren't hits: "Something To Brag About" is from 1971; "There's Power in Our Love" is from 1972; "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" is from 1973; and "Keep the Change" is from 1976. other than that, the first 12 were hit songs.
