Too much dobro…
😴
This is awful. Every song sounds the same. I wanted to hope there'd be any likeness to Cash or Williams but his voice is mushy and over sentimental without payoff. Sorry bro. 1 Star
Not my vibe at all
meh
Too country. 1/5
Dit is echt prut, nummers niet interessant, productie ook 13 in een dozijn. Weinig afwisseling
I've finally stumbled across the worst album on the list!
Lying, cheating, and drinking. Songs to represent our Country. Never really liked country, but ol George Jones has some entertaining songs, I’ll give him that.
I’m will never like country music. This album seems to consist of every hackneyed cliche that makes me despise the genre. Burn it with fire.
- Puh - Vielleicht gehe ich etwas hart mit der Platte ins Gericht aber ich empfand das Hörerlebnis wirklich ohne große Ausmaße als gähnend langweilig - Auch die schnelleren Stücke konnten meinen Eindruck, dass sich das alles irgendwie als ein Brei angehört hat, nicht ändern - Ist vielleicht ein Meilenstein, ist vielleicht Kult und ich bin zu dumm, das zu verstehen 1/5
Ain't no way this released after dark side of the moon. Obviously people love different music but this seem so behind and non interesting or unique.
How ???????
I do not care for old, twangy country music; and this sounds like the oldest, twangiest country of them all.
So so so so so so bad.
Oh dear. Just so dull. Very very country and it all sounds the same. Some poetic lyrics and he has a good voice but I have no interest in coming back to this.
I can absolutely recognise that George Jones is a giant of country music, and The Grand Tour is often held up as one of his finest records. Going into it, I knew I was stepping into classic 70s country storytelling at its purest. It just is not really my thing. There is no denying the quality of his voice. It is rich, controlled and full of emotion. The title track in particular is a masterclass in heartbreak and delivery. You can hear every ounce of pain in the phrasing, and the production is polished without losing that traditional country feel. But as a full album, it does not quite connect with me. The themes are heavy on sorrow and domestic heartbreak, and while I can respect the craft, I never feel truly drawn in. It is beautifully performed, just not something that fits naturally with my taste. I can see why it is revered, and for fans of classic country this will be essential listening. For me, though, it is more admiration than enjoyment. Favourite song: The Grand Tour Least favourite song: She’ll Love the One She’s With Album artwork: Very much of its time. Simple and classic country styling
I just can't
No thanks.
Suffered a bit from being the day after EmmyLou. “If she’s not with the one she loves, she’ll love the one she’s with.” Painful. Track to listen to again - Nope.
Waiting room for the next album
Så plat amerikaner gøgl. Simpelt og uinspireret
Country music has evolved so much and has left this album so far behind it could be buried with a stegosaurus!
Not my cup of tea
Surprised punk didn’t happen immediately after the release of this record.
When I started using this site, I did so with the hope of exploring more styles of music. One of the unfortunate aspects is that it has merely reinforced my prejudices againsy certain type of music. I am not fond of Country music, and this album seems to represent everything I dislike about it. For me.
The literal first few seconds of this was enough to tell me it's not for me. The most country of country. Nope.
1.4/5 country
When we go back to classic country, all i can hear are the parody songs mocking the genre. I guess this is a good example of this sound, but i just didn't like it.
Godawful. I can appreciate old country, but this ain't it. Every single song was a variation on "love ma darlin'". The one (maybe 2?) upbeat songs were almost tolerable, but the rest was unbearable. I went into it open to awarding a star for the slide guitar, but there wasn't a lot of it, and what was there wasn't very good. Listening to this album actually put me in a bad mood.
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
Really did not enjoy. I know some people love this kind of stuff, but it’s just a wash of twangy country over my head without any of the substance that makes other country albums at the least interesting or at most incredible. Not my lane at all, never will be going back to this. Much better, much more inventive country out there if I’m ever in the mood.
Not as long as the hole in my arse points down will I listen or give credibility to this style of mournful hick country music. Need a frontal lobotomy to sit through this one.
Not my cup of tea. If you were close minded and had no outside contact with society for decades, and this was the only album available, it would be acceptable. 1.9/5
Yes, Virginia. There is something worse than gangsta rap.
Simply not my thing at all
Couldn't do it.
Cowboy shit
Fuck this guy
Genres: Country Formed: 1959 Run time: 11 songs, 28 min 41 sec It’s what you’d expect from 70’s Country. It isn’t my cup of tea (and never will). Whinging about what you’ve lost, instead of asking yourself what you did wrong and how to put it right. Self-pity probably did it for 70’s listeners, it won’t hold a modern audience. My Rating: *
Naahh
It's country and it is twangy. It's a one.
Not for me, I couldn’t finish this one.
Psychopath music. Ruined my day.
Country wank
Not a fan - tolerable.
I did not like this. It felt bad giving it a one, but it also felt bad to listen to. You reap what you sow.
Slow sad songs about women, slow happy song aboiut women. Meh
luckily for me i couldn't find the full album on yourtubes. i could only find the title track and about 30 seconds of that was more than enough. comfortably the least i've listened to an album on here and i couldn't give a fuck because fuck country music.
One word review: SHIIIIIIIIIT
Sad old country man: the album. Gotta be grandpa mikes favorite
I can appreciate some of these George Jones / Tammy Wynette duets (had expected a George Jones / Tammy Wynette album in the list) but this album is just too boring.
I despise country, but I’ve never listened to older country (because I don’t like the genre), so hopefully it will be better than modern country. Reminds me instantly of the songs I didn’t like from the Fallout New Vegas soundtrack. Not looking forward to the rest. I’m just glad it’s short, because it’s exactly what I was expecting from country. Do not recommend. Just stereotypical country. Fav Track: none 1/5
If I could give this grand tour a trip advisor review it would not be flattering.
I've really tried to be open-minded with every county album so far, and I swear there are country albums that I like, but this was just so tedious
My most despised genre is Country & Western. Apart from Dolly Parton, because, well...she's Dolly Parton.
That's a no from me
I'm sure if I liked country at all I could have some appreciation for this album but I just hate the twangy vocals and the songs we're very boring. The song tempos felt like he was trying to avoid a speeding ticket.
Old school country. That type of music I always imagined farmers listened to. Not my style.
Ye-hah. No
Not my favourite genre.
This is not for me. I do love lap steel though.
muck
Again, not one for the ages. Miserable subject matter, in a musical style that isn't my favourite. Just getting to the end of this now, and been tempted to tell him to pull himself together at least four times over the last half hour. This is my first 1.
Yeah, I'm passing on this one. I managed two songs, but country really isn't my thing.
Det är för deppigt att de svarta fick blues medan vi fick.. detta?
Mikið þótti mér þetta leiðinlegt
I could tell just by looking at him that I would hate this album, but I clicked to open it anyway. Spotify's algorithm will unleash severe consequences. Fothermucker!
Lots of dreary vocals that hang tortured to the end. Why do so many old love songs just sound like the diary of a creep?
It's country.
Dit is niet te harden zeg! Wat een gezever: You got more love in your little finger than all the rest!
Not for me
I feel asleep after the first song
Same as At Folsom Prison. I hated it. Country music just isn't for me.
Baaad!
Not terrible, it's old people country. 1.5 if I could. more honest than Odelay.
not for me
Dicknose Carrey Does It Again
Country pop-ish, was not really a fan but it often needs to be exceptional for me to like it in the genere in general, liked that it was short
