Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: George Jones, Gospel Comment: One of the best albums George has made in several years, he is one great singer. Customer Rating: Summary: No-Show Goes to Church Comment: I've found that people are seldom ambivalent about the Possum -- either we love his singing, or not. Here as always, Jones puts his heart on the line, phrase by phrase, but this time his eyes are looking upward at glory, instead of downward at the bottom of the glass. I once gave this beautiful disc as a Christmas present, and last time I visited, it was playing to a room full of happier people weeping, swaying, and singing along. Unsure? Try "When Mama Sang" first. Customer Rating: Summary: George Rocks!! Comment: George is one of the best I have ever heard as far as basic contemporary gospel music. In fact I ordered another Customer Rating: Summary: George Sings Gospel Greats! Comment: This double CD was a real blessing - George's familiar voice combined with some of my favourite old time hymns - was pure nostalgic bliss! Customer Rating: Summary: Grandma's Favorite! Comment: I purchased this album at the passing of my best friend, my Grandma. George Jones was her absoloute favorite, as well as old time gospel hymns that he signgs so beautifully on this album. We played this for my Grandma's services, and it was absoloutly perfect. It brought us all joy to know that Grandma would have loved it and the sound of George's voice made us feel like she was right there. Each song brought back memories of her and my childhood. This album was not only awesome, it was a blessing. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Who dares trot out the contradictions between Jones's dissolute life and the sentiments of these songs when the man has always been such a True Believer of some sort? He calls this his musical response to the infamous 1999 car wreck that caused him to finally give up booze, caffeine, and tobacco. Circuit-preacher's son Billy Sherrill, who guided Jones's 1970s commercial ascension, came out of retirement to produce these 24 songs (on two discs) and, especially for a guy accused back then of gussying up country too much, he forges an austere sound. Jones's voice can't execute the many twists, turns, and tricks it once did, but it's still ripe with deep feeling; when he sings "I'm so tired and so weary," you don't doubt him. So forgive them both for trying too hard occasionally ("The Old Rugged Cross") and appreciate this for the old-school testimonial, musical and spiritual, that it is. --John Morthland
