Disappointed....but still happy I bought it! I've been waiting years to hear George and Tanya do a duet and this cd was promoted as having including one, but it did not!
Georgette's duet with her Dad was AWESOME! She does sound alot like her mother in some places, but she definately inherited the vocal talents from both parents. First and foremost, I was totally devasted that this CD did NOT include a duet with TANYA TUCKER as was advertised. This is a fantastic song, and I hope Georgette will release her own album soon.
Georege's vocals are impeccable on this album. however, I think Ricky
Shelton did a better job on the duet with Dolly Parton on "Rockin' Years".
Tanya Tucker sang "Window Up Above" at George Jone's 75th Birthday tribute, and this would have been the best duet for George and Tanya. I'm so disappointed it didn't happen. I think it could have been released as a single and hit the top 10 on radio play. Leon Russell just didn't "cut the mustard" on this duet, in my opinion. Some of the other songs would have been better had he sang them with a female artist, such as, "I Always Get Lucky With You". And of course, the duet of he and Tammy was fabulous! Over all, I'm glad I purchased it, if for no other reason than to hear Georgette's voice, which is awesome. I was very disappointed he didn't do the duet as promised with Tanya.

Old pro
It is George Jones at his best. I loved this album. I especially liked the duets with Leon Russel and Marty Stuart and "I Always Get Lucky With You" with Mark Knoffler (sp?) was most excellent!.
George is King, long live the King
This CD is George at his best. George Jones is country music. The duet with his daughter (and Tammy Wynette's daughter) is amazing. Her voice is much like her mother's and when she and George sing together it's magic. She is a great talent. And the rest of the duets are great with great artists. If your a George Jones fan, this Cd is a must. I saw him live just a few years ago in a small venue in Spokane, WA, and his voice is was "smooth as whiskey" and true to the songs that we all love. I love many of today's country artists, but some of their songs sound so generic, no originality and soul. I know there are writers out there with songs that should be heard through these amazing voices, but I'm not hearing many of those. I love a wide variety of music from hard rock to classic country, the old crooners like Dean Martin to the fun music of Britany Spears. Good music is good music in any genre. Country will always be at the top of my list. "I always get lucky" with George!! So a new release from George, who knows a good country song, is a joy to hear.
Classics with a twist.
Excellent updating of some great old songs. Great classic Jones duets with a wide variety of artists. You can tell by the cover it will have kick and it does not let you down. Songs you know, by people you know with a kick.
