Disco de George Jones: “At His Best”
Descripción (en inglés) :
Though AT HIS BEST contains no liner notes, making it difficult to determine when it was recorded, the album's contents are so impressive that date of origin hardly seems to matter. Jones, the dean of classic country singers, is in fine form here, his voice smooth, rich, and expressive-the standard by which most male country singers are judged.
<p>Jones' subject of choice on this album is heartache, but his honky-tonk-heaven voice makes the anguish worthwhile. AT HIS BEST contains such classics as "I Threw Away the Rose," Lefty Frizzell's "Saginaw, Michigan," and the show-stopping "He Stopped Loving her Today." If you want an introduction to Jones, AT HIS BEST will do nicely.

- Yet another "At Hs Best"...
This has to be about the tenth George Jones album titled "At His Best". I bought this album because it has one of Jones's best songs on it -- "The Hardest Part Of All". Even my friends who don't like country like this song. God forbid RCA would actually re-release the original album (Wrapped Around Her Finger) on CD but until that happens this "At His Best" CD will have to do. - Great CD, great covers, great sound!
If it weren't for the maudlin "He Stopped Loving Her Today", I may not have got this CD, but I knew I could expect some good sounds from George Jones. It is said that George Jones didn't want to record "He Stopped Loving Her Today" but then certainly wished he had more of his signature award winning song.
Not known for songwriting, his speciality is just his voice..he can sing so many covers and it is amazing. And here, he does a beautiful version of Kenny Rogers' "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town". I love that song and George does it justice. "Am I That Easy to Forget" sounds beautiful too.
Equally great interpretation is "Saginaw Michigan", and "I Threw Away the Rose". This is an excellent CD and if you love the sound of George Jones, you will cherish this too. This music is a departure from some of his standard hits. It's refreshing .....Rizzo

- Superb collection of some of the Country King's Best.
Departed but never to be forgotten, George Jones graced us with some of the most sincere and touching country music of the 20th century. His masterful voice and some of his very best work are chronicled in this small but well done collection. Included are He Stopped Loving Her Today, Saginaw Michigan, and Your Angel Steps Out of Heaven. And George's version of There Goes My Everything. My favorite, although not originally sung by George, is I Threw Away the Rose. (The Days of Wine and Roses). There may be other fine studio recordings of George... I don't know, and I can't say every cut is a memory shocker, but I can vouch for this, GEORGE JONES At His Best, this GREAT CD. Crank it up a bit, okay? Pop a top and sit back. ...and hand ME one over here! Once! I lived! A life, of wine, and Ro---ses! |
