GEORGE JONES (343)

George Jones (We Can Make It) / I Wanta Sing (2-for-1) RVCD-343

Raven presents for the first time on CD two original, outstanding albums by GEORGE JONES from the 1970s – George Jones (We Can Make It) (1972) and I Wanta Sing (1977). With 78 minutes of superb quality audio, color booklet with informative liner notes and seven bonus tracks, this is an essential chapter from the artist’s acclaimed body of astonishing work. Allmusic Guide calls the Grammy winning Jones “the finest vocalist in the recorded history of Country music” and he remains among the half dozen greatest popular song stylists of all time. Recorded for Epic Records under the direction of famed produced Billy Sherrill, these albums find Jones in optimistic mood with his mature and smooth voice combining well with Sherrill’s production sheen.

George Jones yielded the Top 10 US Country hit ‘We Can Make It’, while I Wanta Sing boasts such excellent songs as ‘I Love You so Much it Hurts’ and ‘Rest in Peace’. Bonus tracks include ‘That Singing Friend of Mine’, ‘Memories of Us’ and ‘Borrowed Angel’. With many rare tracks on CD for the first time, this is a must-have for the Jones aficionado. George Jones (We Can Make It) / I Wanta Sing (2-for-1) is the companion CD to Raven’s previous Jones collections Radio Lover 1980-1989: A Critical Anthology (RVCD-323), Step Right Up 1970-1979: A Critical Anthology (RVCD-292) and Dispatches 1990-1999: A Critical Collection (RVCD-199).
