GEORGE JONES' HARD-TO-FIND HITS FINALLY EMERGE
By: Craig Shelburne
Last year I attempted to make a playlist encompassing George Jones’ career in country music, but despite numerous compilations and box sets at my disposal, I couldn’t track down his signature hits from the late 1960s and early 1970s when he recorded for the Musicor label. Later I learned that perpetual lawsuits have kept those tracks from being reissued over the years. However, the fine folks at Time-Life have somehow figured out a way to make everybody happy – especially me – by acquiring the rights to 34 sides from that era for a new double-disc set, George Jones: The Great Lost Hits.
GEORGE JONES RELEASES 'GREAT LOST HITS'
George Jones has been making music and thrilling fans for more than six decades … and he’s not slowing down anytime soon. The legendary singer recently released ‘A Collection of My Best Recollection,’ featuring three previously unreleased tunes, exclusively through Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores.
On Tuesday (Feb. 23), the Possum is once again giving fans a treat with the release of a two-CD collection from Time Life, titled ‘George Jones: The Great Lost Hits.’ This latest addition to George’s illustrious discography is comprised of 34 tracks compiled from rare and largely out-of-print recordings between 1965 and 1972.

COUNTRY ICON GEORGE JONES RIDES INTO PECHANGA
It’s difficult not to use the word “legend” when speaking about George Jones.
Described by many as the “greatest living country singer” has enjoyed a fabulously storied career that shows no sign of slowing down as he energetically heads toward his 80th birthday. The Texas-born singer and songwriter has racked up a staggering 150 hit songs, over a dozen chart-topping No.1 hits, received numerous Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards, and was a 1992 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
