George Jones The Complete United Artists Solo Singles
Release Date: February 12, 2013
Label: Omnivore
United Artists was the third home for George Jones' output since his 1954 debut on the Starday label in his native Texas. His manager and producer Harold 'Pappy' Daily signed him to United Artists following a stint at Mercury.
Most of the UA recordings transpired in Nashville, with Jones backed by Music City's A-team: guitarist Grady Martin, bassist Bob Moore, drummer Buddy Harman, pianist Pig Robbins, and Hal Rugg on steel guitar, Tommy Jackson on fiddle, and Kelso Herston on electric 6-string bass. The Jordanaires provided the background choruses, part of the Nashville Sound that Jones adopted for his hardcore country.
