2014 collection of classic tracks recorded by Country icon George Jones.

For the first time ever, here are instrumental versions of George Jones' most famous hits. What's more, for the first time ever the group that backed up George in his original performances is doing these new versions. In the Jones Boys we have one of the outstanding Country Music groups. Their contributions to the success of George Jones' recordings have been considerable. They have also come in for glowing accolades in their many appearances with him in clubs, on television, and at fairs. George Jones is the number one Country Music artist in the world. He has been voted the leading Country Music performer in every major poll during the last three years. Yet, Jones is the first to give the Jones Boys much of the credit for the fact that over the last four years every week has seen at least one George Jones record on the best-selling Country Music Hit Parade charts. This is truly an unprecedented success story. Listen now to twelve reasons why some have said that, just like ol' man river, George Jones and the Jones Boys will probably keep rollin' along. The twelve reasons are, of course, the Jones Boys.

In 1971 with this album Sammi Smith won Country Music Awards for Album of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year in one fell swoop. Destined to be amongst country music royalty, her husband Jody was the longtime guitar player for country icon Willie Nelson, and their son is named Waylon after his godfather Waylon Jennings. Originally released in September 1970 on Mega Records, her debut album here though proves that as a stand-alone artist she can hold it down with the best of them. Sammi's songs are filled with melancholy and sophisticated grit that encourage real feelings and real emotions from the listener, bringing a wonderfully warm and earnest feel to every word she sings. Album Tracks 1. Saunders Ferry Lane 2. There He Goes 3. With Pen in Hand 4. Sunday Morning Coming Down 5. Lonely Street 6. He's Everywhere 7. Help Me Make It Through the Night 8. But You Know I Love You 9. Don't Blow No Smoke on Me 10. When Michael Calls 11. This Room for Rent
