Expected this to come out slightly higher. With only the one love track and two bombs, it's a moderate
like. That love track, This Ain't My First Rodeo (#14), was probably why I bought this, not being familiar
with most of his work. Funny that his only #1 on here, I Can Tell By The Way You Dance, is my worst track.
A few of the others here were top 10 hits. Last album by the man was in 1993, and he passed away in 2009,
from a stroke at the age of 74. Very nice country voice, hearing some John Anderson and some Randy Travis.
Don't have any studio albums by Vern, but I would think this sums up his career in 11 easy steps.

A little tex-mex here with Johnny's debut album. His only #1 country album, driven there with the hit
single of the leadoff track here, You Always Come Back, also a #1. That was co-written with former boss
Tom T. Hall. Johnny was a member of Tom's band, and Tom gets credit for Johnny's success. Johnny was
playing the local Texas clubs when Tom T. and Bobby Bare heard him, and invited him to Nashville. After
playing in Tom's band for a spell, he was taken down to Mercury records by Mr. Hall himself, where he was
subsequently signed to his own deal. This album was the result. Several other tracks here co-written with
Tom. Four tracks I love on here. My only complaint was the three songs where he sings a verse in mexican.
I don't speak mexican, so I don't know what he was saying to me. After the third song of doing this, I
decided I didn't like it. The only song that gets a do not like grade.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

I have another best of George set that consists of 12 tracks, a mere glance of the mans output. I needed
more. This one is 40 tracks. Thought I would have had enough George after 40 tracks. I coulda done 40
more. I'm not tired, or proud. By far my favorite country artist. Was thinking while listening to this how
similar George's career path was to JC's. Both reached stardom early in their careers, only to let it go
to their heads, and jump into the whole alcohol/drugs pit. They both came to their senses, George a bit
later than Johnny. What brought them both around was a good woman. Just food for thought. Having a recnt
divorce in the family, a lot of these songs are tough for me. George was a master of the cryin in my beer
because my woman left me again songs. Nobody does it better. And I still can't get through He Stopped
Loving Her Today. Not posting links on this one, just too many.

What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 02-12-2012
i love GJ's voice, especially during his latter years as it has matured really well, becoming deeper with more emotive expression, much like Elvis' did in the 70s
What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 02-12-2012
i agree
That set in chronological order really brings that out
Around the mid 70's there was a dramatic voice change
Not sure if it was the whisky or what
but it's quite noticable

THE AVETT BROTHERS "the carpenter" cd,2012.
bought this one the other week and put it near the top of my 'to play' pile of cd's...
all i own of theirs apart from this one is their superb "i & love & you"....that one is destined to be a classic album in the annuls of music history, so i was a bit hesitant in buying anything else as i didnt want to be dissapointed, i need not have worried though, as this new offering is as good as,if not better than that one IMO...
not as varied in style or sound as that one, moreso, concentrating on the straight folky pop that they excell at...
remember that track from a while ago called "breakfast at tiffany's"?...well, this album has the same sort of feel as that song,so love that track-love this album!
half the album here gets a love rating of "***", the rest are almost as good, a great,great album that will be unlucky if not in my end of year "best albums" list
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: a father's first spring
best track: winter in my heart
tracks:
1. the once and future carpenter ***
