Elvis Costello - Good Year for the Roses.
HOW have Inot heard this before? ok listening.
'The Train Job'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sure, it's ok, but the George Jones version will turn your knees to jelly.

Mmmm, gelid knees.
Has anybody ever carved out the definitive George Jones collection from all his many different labels? He's one of those guys who always had two devastating classics per album and a shitload of Nashville filler.
There's a nice Charlie Rich collection that pulls his best work together from many labels.
I KNOW!! but I have so much deep love for Elvis. I mean George is the one true owner of the song, no doubt, but I gotta love Elvis doing it.
A fine collection of later 70s George Jones by way of Billy Sherill - but none of his earlier rockabilly/honky tonk tracks.
This one is purt near perfect, David.
Msbelle, yeah, that Elvis collection gets badmouthed a lot, but it ain't so bad.
Want. That. Now.
The Spirit of Country is even better if you supplement it with this.
Thanks, Hayden, that's better one-stop shopping.
It's like shuffling diamonds trying to figure out which hurts the most:
"The Grand Tour"
"She Thinks I Still Care"
"The Window Up Above"
"These Days I Barely Get By"
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
This is what Xander should've been playing when he wanted "country music - the music of pain." (Though I think he was listening to Hank Williams when they finally cut to him, so he did alright.)
AIEEEEE!
I like the first one better (I mean regardless of what David Alan Coe says, He Stopped Loving Her Today is the C&W song), but I want that one too. Alas, I am not allowed to spend money for a while since I spent quite a bit in NO.
