George Jones -
There's Nothing Left For You
From George Jones Sings The Songs Of
Dallas Frazier,Musicor Records LP, 1968
Does anybody know what's up with George Jones's Musicor catalog? All of his labels (Mercury, UA, Starday, Epic, etc.) are adequately covered by anthologies, except Musicor, for which he did a dozen or so albums starting in 1965. There were a couple of excellent LP comps assembled by Rounder in the early 80s containing classics like "A Good Year For the Roses" and "Things Have Gone To Pieces," but those are long out of print. One's only option is to go find all of the original Musicor LPs, which fortunately, are plentiful and not very expensive. Here is a track from George's album of Dallas Frazier songs.

Wow! I just found your link on Spiked Candy (currently #2 on my route) and I'm so happy! Thanks for the G. Jones, 3 O'Clock + 2 different Only Ones (some joke). Such a great world when you find someone with similarly pussy tastes... Chubby
I've just read the previous comment and bizarrely I found my way here via Spiked Candy too. Anyway I just wanted to say what a great blog you've got going. I've spent nearly the whole weekend reading through the archive, digging out various tunes and artists you mentioned, listening to them and generally just having a great time. So thanks for the info and now I've got one hell of a long list of records to dig out...

Archives!? Archives! You just scooted up past "bedazzled," not that it's a competition or anything.
Thanks again -- Chubby
PS - Some friends just saw the Avengers reunion the other night and really enjoyed it.
Oh, great. Thanks. Now I'm gonna spend the next hour sitting here crying into my wineglass.
George Jones or Buck Owens? I can't decide, I'm too emotional. No, I'm gonna go with Buck, he had Don Rich, the world's greatest backup singer.
