Like many of his contemporaries, George began his career trying to find and impose his own style on recordings. In his earliest days, George recorded much material that had been originally recorded by Hank Williams and would later record a number of tribute albums to Hank There was also a tribute album to Bob Wills, the subject of this particular collection. The tribute didn't only extend to songs written by Bob either, for there are a number of tracks that were popularized by Bob Wills. Rather than perform note for note imitations of Bob wills, George Jones injects his own personality into each recording.
