New Jones recordings ready for release
Originally recorded for radio airplay in the 1970s, these tracks have been enhanced, capturing Jones' sound by bringing the audio quality up current standards. This was achieved by subtly adding instrumentation and background vocals beneath Jones' voice where needed.
The record features 16 tracks, including both hits and lesser-known recordings. Hits include "The Race Is On," "The Grand Tour," "White Lightnin'" and "Tender Years." This collection also brings to light rare recordings of tracks such as "Old Brush Arbors," "She's Mine," "Four-O-Thirty-Three," and "The Honky Tonk Downstairs."
"Music truly is the gift that keeps giving," said Nancy Jones. "Even after all these years, we're still releasing new music from George. This collection features 16 songs, and while some may be familiar hits, these versions are ones you've never heard before. I'm thrilled to share them with all of his devoted fans."
These recordings were initially made exclusively for artist promotion, often completed in just one or two takes with an announcer's voice between songs. Once aired, the tapes were often discarded or destroyed by the stations.
Country Rewind Records President and Executive Producer Thomas Gramuglia discovered the original boxed master tapes and recognized that true fans would appreciate hearing these timeless recordings despite their poor condition after years of neglect.

1. Window Up Above
