Description:

There are so many compilations cluttering George Jones` catalog that it`s hard to tell which ones are worthwhile and which ones aren`t. A rule of thumb is, budget-line collections are either for indiscriminate casual fans or for the hardcore, who don`t mind repetition on a disc if it contains one or two cuts they don`t have already. Since Sony Music Special Products` Nothin` Like George Jones (terrific title, by the way) draws exclusively from his Epic catalog, which wasn`t as haphazardly released as his Mercury or Musicor recordings, it doesn`t have as many surprises as its cheap cousins on other labels. Instead, most of Nothin` consists of big hits -- "The Grand Tour," "These Days (I Barely Get By)," "He Stopped Loving Her Today" -- plus a selection of lesser-known hits and album cuts. None of these are really rare, but by the mid-`90s, they weren`t in print, either, which means latter-day obsessives will find this of some worth. Casual listeners, however, will probably want to stick with more comprehensive collections, even though this sampler offers a good taste of his grandly theatrical work with Billy Sherrill. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
