...only Jones can do. Some lines are almost whispered; others cried out - all beautifully set up by man who really understands what to do with lyrics. It's a pity that this is not a better recording, because the musicianship is also mighty tasty, with some pulsating pedal steel, a well-stroked fiddle and a finely fingered Fender. I would love to locate a better version...
...because, confined by the limits of space (it takes action under a bridge like area and a train), it is limited in its action potential. However, when Chan takes on 20 axe-wielding hoodlums bare-chested in one scene, and at the end, in a never before 20 minute steel-factory scene, when he falls into flaming coals and vomits after drinking too much alcohol, it may be worth hanging around sitting through the thin plotline and slow jokes...
...first week was dedicated to basic tracks, the most important of which were the drum parts. The drums are the foundation-the steel frame of the car, the cement cellar of the house, the constitution of country.

I fixed my computer so passersby couldn't see it. But you could overhear everyone's phone conversations, and rumors spread quickly...
...lips are so close together it's amazing that any notes come out at all.) Adding to the pleasure is some excellent session work, in particular a well-plucked dobro - an instrument not used much by country singers of the period - as well as some great fiddle and pedal steel. "Sings Like the Dickens" was rereleased in 1995 by New York City?based reissue specialists Razor & Tie, who have done a fine job delving into the archives to find old stuff from Jones and other country greats. It's still available at your friendly neighborhood Internet store...
