High Tech Redneck,
By Crucian (St. Croix, VI Virgin Islands (U.S.)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Tech Redneck (Audio CD)
I wore out my cassette. I have never before experienced an album that had no songs I didn't enjoy. For just plain fun this one is the best. If there is something on High Tech Redneck you have not experienced in life, then you haven't lived.

This review is from: High-Tech Redneck (Audio CD)
when most critics like to point out how light-hearted and goofy the majority of his MCA years were, they're all thinking of this album and it's collection of great songs. how ironic is it that Jones took "High Tech Redneck" all the way to #24 on the charts {his highest charted solo song during the entire 1990s} but for some reason nobody likes it? this album shows that George Jones can sing 'new country' if he wants to. i have no gripe about this album and it's odd hearing him sing "Hello Darlin" in his own unique style after being raised on Conway Twitty's distinct approach to the song. George sounds like the George of the mid '70s on "Hello Darlin" and a lot of that has to do with the vocal delivery and the song's classic arrangement. "The Visit", a modest hit for Chad Brock seven years later, is more chilling with George's delivery. "I've Still Got Some Hurtin Left To Do" is the stand-out track. i also like "The Love in Your Eyes" because it reminds me of his 1978 hit "I'll Just Take It Out in Love". another song, "A Thousand Times a Day", was first first recorded on this CD before Patty Loveless had a hit with it in 1998. this is a great CD and the fact that it's named after a novelty song shouldn't distract you from buying it.

Good, but not quite up to his usual standard,

This review is from: High-Tech Redneck (Audio CD)
This is probably the weakest George Jones album of the 90s. Some of the better ones include "Walls can fall", "It don't get any better than this", and "Cold hard truth". This one is just not up to the same standard. It is dedicated to the late Conway Twitty, hence the inclusion of "Hello Darlin'". Unfortunately, Jones doesn't do quite the job Conway did on the song. It's not that he does it badly; it's just that Conway Twitty did it perfectly. There really wasn't a need for a remake. The same goes for "Silent Partners". Although not quite as well known, Waylon Jennings version of the song is quite a bit better. Unfortunately, that Jennings album ("Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for LA") is now out of print. Even with its flaws, a talent like George Jones isn't about to put out a truly bad album. There are a couple of gems here. "I've still got some hurtin' left to do" is an excellent song and the duet with Sammy Kershaw shows that Jones can still crank out the up-tempo tunes with the best of them. When you have a voice like Jones, it's really just a matter of the song choices. This one is not up to his usual standard, but devoted Opossum fans will want it in their collections.
