Grand Tour, The/Alone Again - George Jones

Advantages: More than there are dis-advantages
Disadvantages: See Review

...can't really put anything to this tune as in sound and satisfaction. It just sounds like an average tune, nothing too heavy and nothing too great but again it's the lyrics that get you listening to this tune if you do. There's no place like home and yes we've heard it time and time before but this time your going to be told this in such a different away. Lots of talk about rolling spliffs and actually gets a bit much but then for you guys who've tried the stuff when your in the comfort of your own home what do you do while watching 'The Bill' sat there with a drink and some rizzla? I think the only real clever thing about this tune is how he brings many different essences of life such as tv, girls, drinking, thinking and smoking all into one tune remembering that he rhymes this out and swings it into rhythm. One you'll enjoy... Read review

Disadvantages: Scarcity of album very unfortunate; musically none

Among the series of films that originated at this time was the Indiana Jones series, featuring the dry (but apparently hunky) archeology teacher of a university at a professional level, who turns into an adventurous, whip-wielding hero in the best Saturday matinee adventure style in his leisure (played wonderfully by Harrison Ford).

...time but it's nothing more than a filler to be honest. George's singing is good though on here and we hear his full range. Pity the song is so boring. 2) Desafinado I'm ashamed to say I've listened to this once and I can't even tell what language it's meant to be. I'm guessing it's Spanish but I could be wrong. Again, nothing more than a filler track. It's restaurant background music. This was also a B-side but I honestly can't remember which single it's from. 3) Cowboys And Angels Another track from "Listen Without Prejudice". Another slightly depressing jazz-like number. I think this song got to number 37 in the charts if I remember rightly. 4) Praying For Time This was the first single to be taken from "Listen Without Prejudice" and I really like it. It's a song that appeals to the conscience. "Charity... Read review
