New Country Hits features Jones's first studio recording of InchTake MeInch, a song he co-wrote with Leon Payne and would record more famously with Tammy Wynette. The album also includes the hits InchLove BugInch (inspired by Buck Owens and the Bakersfield sound) and the self-pitying InchThings Have Gone To PiecesInch. Although he stuck to country music with a vengeance, Jones did his best to record a wide range of songs under the country umbrella, stating in the 1989 documentary Same Ole Me, InchI've always tried to be versatile. I've always tried to do up-tempos and novelties and ballads.Inch The album is also noteworthy for it's cover, which features the singers backing band the Jones Boys. Like Buck Owens' Buckaroos and Merle Haggard's Strangers, Jones worked with many musicians who were great talents in their own right, including Johnny Paycheck, who played bass and sang harmony with Jones before going on to his own stardom in the 1970s. Paycheck is seated next to Jones on the cover of the album.
