Don't stare at the album cover for too long...just some friendly advice. But the man behind that creepy stare is the greatest singer in country music history...George Jones. In a career that's spanned over 50 years, Jones pretty much IS the history of country music...he's seen it all, done it all, married its brightest stars, and lasted beyond every fad and cheesy moment the genre has thrown out there. And from the period covered in this mostly excellent collection (the mid sixties get a bit shaky...particularly the downright weird "I'm A Human"), Jones proves that he's worthy of every accolade thrown at him.

The early stuff is the best..."Why Baby Why" is a great opening, and the late 50's to early 60's material is phenomenal. As country struggled to end the 60's, Jones fell in line, but could still get out classics like "The Race Is On". A great way to hear the voice of country at his very best.

Once, I ordered an album online and they sent this compilation sampler as a freebie along with it. Well, hell…I’m not one to turn down a free album! Matador Records is the home to several cool bands, including Pavement, Yo La Tengo, Belle & Sebastian, and Queens Of The Stone Age. Back in 2001, when this compilation was issued, they had the artists listed above, which included some hip hop acts and some pretty out there bands. This is like a lot of label samplers…you get a little bit of the familiar, some stuff that turns out to be really gem worthy, and a bit of stuff that they tried to market that ultimately didn’t work out. In other words, it’s a grab bag. The familiar artists, for me anyway, are at the beginning. The tracks by Stephen Malkmus, The Soft Boys, and Mark Eitzel are excellent, and shows great promise for the rest of the disc. But then, things meander off into a completely different direction, with predictably mixed results.

After the Arab Strap track, the album suddenly shifts gears into hip hop. The songs are okay (not great), but they really don’t seem to fit the album very well. After four tough tracks, the sampler goes into instrumental post rock music. “Doch Endlich”, by Couch, turns out to be the surprise find here…it’s a fine track, and stands out above everything else here. After a four track excursion into post rock (including the ten minute unremarkable song by Mount Florida), there’s one final shift. Bardo Pond is a psychedelic band, and “Sunrise” is unlike anything else here…heavy, hazy, and strange. So, what we end up with is what label samplers usually are…hit and miss, not bad, not great, and with one discovery that makes it all worthwhile. Which is probably what the good folks at Matador were shooting for. Plus, it was free. And if you know anything about me, you know that I will never turn down a free album. I’m just that guy.

Simply put, an excellent and must have 3 disc box set from one of the two great Southern rock bands of all time. They recorded 5 albums in 5 years...something unheard of these days...and unlike most bands, even their outtakes and demos are worth hearing. This is what every box set should be...not too much music, not stuffed with filler, and a great tribute to the band. This is simply a must for any fan. A short and simple review for a big piece of work.

Disc one is mostly early demos, while disc 3 covers the Street Survivors period and lots of cool live tracks. You cannot go wrong with this!
