Columbia's George Jones Definitive Country Collection pales in comparison to Mercury's Definitive Collection 1955-1962 anthology, but country jukebox, slow dance classics like "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and "Nothing Ever Hurt Me (Half as Bad as Losing You)," as well as duets with ex-wife Tammy Wynette "Were Gonna Hold On," "We Loved It Away'" and "We Can Make It," help keep this 20-track overview fluid (like a tear in your beer) for the duration. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
