In the third decade of his career, already long famous, George Jones followed his new lover Tammy Wynette to Epic, where he offered his incomparable voice to her producer, Billy Sherrill. The singles Jones released with Sherrill--"The Grand Tour," "The Door," "He Stopped Loving Her Today," to name just three--elevated Jones from great country singer to living legend. This 16-track set skips far too many Jones-Sherrill highlights (and it oddly includes "Radio Lover," one "biggest hit" that was never a hit at all), but it's the only one-disc set to provide an overview of the team's entire 17-year partnership. From 1972's poignantly countrypolitan "A Picture of Me" to the grim humor of 1989's "The King Is Gone," no country music is as painfully beautiful as this. --David Cantwell

Great! July 21, 2008
I love every song on this album. The recordings are flawless. I would recommend this to any George Jones fan and anyone interested in finding out about George Jones. I put it on my I-Pod immediately and I listen to it everyday.
George Jones 16 Biggest Hits Review June 20, 2008
This song collection is great, perfect. I haven't listened to much country in a very long time. I missed it and decided to go back to my roots. I was not dissappointed at all in this collection. There are even a few that could be added. Maximum enjoyment of a country music legend!

George Jones 16 Biggest Hits February 11, 2008
I bought this CD at the request of my husband. George Jones has a voice that is so full of feeling. I love every song on this CD and find myself humming them during the day. You will not be disappointed.
Sum up George Jones in one word? Master June 27, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm not a fan of country music, but have listened to George Jones for 25 years. There are few singers who capture the twang of true country, but Mr. Jones does (Dwight Yoakum is another).
This particular CD is my all time favorite b/c it combines his best songs. The ones that move you to sing along (or grab a box of Kleenex).
HOW can you beat these old hits?
1. A Picture Of Me (Without You)
2. What My Woman Can't Do
3. The Grand Tour
4. These Days (I Barely Get By)
5. The Door
6. Bartender's Blues
7. He Stopped Loving Her Today
8. If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)
9. Still Doin' Time
10. I Always Get Lucky With You
11. She's My Rock
12. Wine Colored Roses
13. The Right Left Hand
14. Radio Lover
15. The King Is Gone (So Are You)
16. Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
I recommend this particular CD highly. It's the best of the best.
 A Fine Introduction August 18, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Though I've long known George Jones's name and reputation, I am fairly unfamiliar with his music. I enjoyed this CD as a good introduction to that man's resonant voice and honest song-stylings. The disc is also very good value for money. The only downside I can suggest is that most of the songs will probably be unfamiliar to listeners looking for "standards"--but that's my problem, not Mr. Jones's.
