The title of this 2009 compilation contains neither the word "hits" nor "best," so it makes no bones about not being a collection of singles from
George Jones
' time at
Epic
. It is merely a
Playlist
, a collection of songs -- both hits and album tracks -- and in that regard it's not bad, serving up a few outright classics (
"A Picture of Me (Without You),"
"The Grand Tour,"
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
) with a few overlooked gems and a couple of puzzling inclusions. That latter category is hardly enough to stop this from being entertaining, although if one is looking for either an introduction or a collection of
George
's best cuts for
they should look elsewhere. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
