Análisis - Amazon.com
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. But even on cruise control, Jones remains the kind of singer who inspires awe and wonder, drawing on tensions that start way down in his gut, not just in his head, crawling inside the melody to pull it seven ways to Sunday, and curling his voice upward just when you think he's coming down. Whatever propels George Jones is dark, brooding, and coiled and ready to strike, and no matter how he tries to hide it in the lighthearted tunes, it's here, all right, meaner than the average Possum, and exposing itself with the occasional flick of its tongue. The trick is in knowing what to look for. That Jones. He always keeps you guessing. --Alanna Nash

- The real deal

George Jones is the real deal and this album is a testament to his soulful voice. The first few bars of first cut Honky Tonk Song set a tone of straight up country that last the whole record. Lots of telecasters, dobros, pedal steel, violins, and harmonicas create a backdrop for the greatest country singer ever to wail about Hank Williams, women and booze. Back Down to Hung up on You, Hundred Proof Memories, and I'll Give You Something to Drink About are classic country drinkin songs. Billy B Bad and The Lone Ranger help lighten things up. I Must Have Done Something Bad is George Jones teachin class. This is how country music should sound.

- Fantastic!

Virtually every song is excellent. This is the way country music should be. Along with HI TECH REDNECK, this is his best work of the 80s and 90s.

- soundtrack to his autobiography

this album, served as a tie in with his 1996 book of the same name, is one of his best albums of the '90s. ahead of it is 1999's Cold Hard Truth; 1998's It Don't Get Any Better Than This; and 1992's Walls Can Fall in that order. this 1996 project opens up with "Honky Tonk Song", which is about his escapade in the early '70s when Tammy took away his car keys and so he jumped on a riding mower and drove to the main highway and hitched a ride to a bar! i like all the songs, "Back Down To Hung Up On You" and "Tied To a Stone" are my favorites. "Billy B Bad" and "The Lone Ranger" are the novelty songs of the album. "I'll Give You Something To Drink About", a song i saw him perform on the David Letterman show of all places, is okay. i like what the song says...and i can't help but think of Tammy and if she ever said anything like that to George...however, nobody will disagree with me when i say the song would've been MORE powerful if he had recorded it back in the mid '70s given what he was going through at the time.
