Hier ein Artikel von Nick Tosches aus dem Jahr 1994 über George Jones:


The Devil in George Jones

Ich bin da nun nicht so im Thema, aber hat nicht Bear Family eine opulente Box mit dem Werk dieses Mannes (ist das der gleiche?) veröffentlicht?

www.bear-family.de/jones-george-birth-of...-1954-1961-6-cd.html

Das sind nur die ersten 7 Jahre seiner Karriere es gibt noch 3 weitere Bear-Family-Boxen von ihm. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Ja genau. Das sind nur die ersten Jahre. Purer Honky Tonk. Aber wie es aussieht auch ein paar der missglückten Thumper Jones "Rock'n'Roll"-Versuche.


BS3095: Von den anderen Boxsets habe ich noch gar nichts gehört. Hast du da gerade mal einen Link?


EarthBoy, muss ich mir Gedanken machen, dass du plötzlich über George Jones-Boxen stolperst?

Nein alles im grünen Bereich. Ich war auf der Homepage von Bear Family aus rein countryfremden Gründen.

Die anderen drei Boxen:
