Details: Amazon.ca With the exception of 1993's High-tech Redneck, this is the only disappointing George Jones solo album in 14 years. Of course, with the standard Jones sets for country singers, disappointment is all relative, which just means the title here is an overstatement, but just barely. The first single, "Wild Irish Rose," has the notoriously apolitical Jones telling the tragic tale of a homeless Vietnam vet; "Over You" is a sequel to "He Stopped Loving Her Today"; and "Smack Dab" is a boot-scooter so rollicking it might actually get George some young-country airplay. Best of all are the cover of George Strait's "When Did You Stop Loving Me" and the elegant evocation of unrequited love, "Don't Touch Me"--it really doesn't get any better than that. --David Cantwell
