Unreleased George Jones Recordings Resurface On ‘The Lost Nashville Sessions’
A collection of previously-unreleased George Jones songs are available for the first time on George Jones: The Lost Nashville Sessions, set to release on Nov. 15 on Country Rewind Records.
Originally recorded for radio airplay in the 1970s, the tracks have been enhanced, bringing the audio quality up to modern-day standards by adding instrumentation and backing vocals where needed. The recordings were initially made exclusively for artist promotion, often completed in just one or two takes with an announcer’s voice between songs. Once aired, the tapes were often discarded or destroyed by the stations. Country Rewind Records President and Executive Producer Thomas Gramuglia discovered the original boxed masters and knew true fans would appreciate hearing the timeless recordings despite their poor condition after years of neglect.
The 16 tracks on George Jones: The Lost Nashville Sessions include a mix of both beloved hits and lesser-known recordings, including iconic songs like “The Race Is On,” “The Grand Tour,” “White Lightnin'” and “Tender Years,” as well as rare recordings of “Old Brush Arbors,” “She’s Mine,” “Four-O-Thirty-Three” and “The Honky Tonk Downstairs.”
“Music truly is the gift that keeps giving,” shares Nancy Jones. “Even after all these years, we’re still releasing new music from George. This collection features 16 songs, and while some may be familiar hits, these versions are ones you’ve never heard before. I’m thrilled to share them with all of his devoted fans.”
