George Jones - I Am What I Am FLAC album
George Jones is considered by many to be the greatest country singer of all time.
I Am What I Am is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1980 on Epic Records label. It was rereleased on July 4, 2000 with bonus tracks on the Legacy Recordings label.
I Am What I Am announced that George Jones had officially returned to form artistically and, in the process, it became his biggest hit album ever. It's easy to see why - the production is commercial without being slick, the songs are balanced between aching ballads and restrained honky tonk numbers, and Jones gives a nuanced, moving performance. He Stopped Loving Her Today," "I'm Not Ready Yet," and "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)" were the hits, but the remaining seven album tracks are exceptionally strong, without a weak track.

I Am What I Am. George Jones. This album finds George Jones winding down his years on MCA, where his artistry mostly smoldered, never blazing bright as it had at Epic. Whatever the problems in getting the Voice on tape, there's a poignancy here in hearing a silver-haired man in his 60s trade on his rip-'em-up days as a hell-raiser ("Billy B. Bad"), and verge on self-parody in the drinking songs, as empty as returnable bottles. The trick is in knowing what to look for. That Jones. He always keeps you guessing.
