She hung the moon

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There are lots of compilations of George Jones, and this is a very decent one. What decided me to buy it was that this is the only cd currently available that has 'She hung the moon' on it. Obviously I like that, and I think you will too. At this price it's worth buying for that track, but even if you've already got the better known hits on this, there are a lot of other lesser known ones, which are also very good."

Love ballads

(5 out of 5 stars)

"out of all the 15 tracks on this CD, i love all of them but i love tracks #2, #5, #6, #11, #12, #13, and #14 the most. "You've Still Got a Place in My Heart", the #3 hit title track of his 1984 album on Epic, is a bluesy song with the harmonica the prominent instrument. another track from that 1984 album is also on here, "The Second Time Around", which at the time was his wife Nancy's favorite song. from 1983 we have the #1 "I Always Get Lucky With You" and the album track "She Hung the Moon", both of these are available on his 1983 album, "Shine On"."She Hung the Moon" is actually a deceptive title. it's actually about a bad relationship. "...and if your heart it needs breaking she's the best i ever found. She Hung the Moon...but she hung it upside down" goes some of the chorus. "You Oughta Be Here With Me" is the title track of his 1990 Epic album. on this CD it's track #13 and as far as i know this is the only commercially available CD to include the song since it's 1990 debut. the same holds true for 1984's "Second Time Around", "You've Still Got a Place in My Heart", and 1983's "She Hung the Moon" as well as track #14 "Hopelessy Yours" which made it's debut in 1986 on the 'Wine Colored Roses' album. the rest of the tracks are readily available on other CDs."

"This is a collection of hits and album cuts that have been released on various Epic records and CD's over the years. The rolls royce of country singers is well represented on this set. Fans of the possum need to add this one to their collection."
