(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsRecording[edit]Reception[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]Recording[edit]The concept behind The Bradley Barn Sessions was to place Jones in the hands of traditionalist country producer Brian Ahern, record at Owen Bradley’s legendary studios, compile a selection of the singer’s greatest hits, and have him sing duets with not just some of the biggest names in country but also pop music as well.  Although the album \u2013 Jones’ fourth for MCA \u2013 did not break the top twenty on Billboards country albums chart, peaking at 23, it features the first recorded duet between the singer and his ex-wife Tammy Wynette since their 1981 LP Together Again.  The only single release from the album was “A Good Year for the Roses”, a collaboration with Alan Jackson.  As Jones noted in his autobiography two years later, “After the duets album was released, radio didn’t know what to do with it…Alan was white-hot on the radio, and programmers wanted his voice.  But some didn’t want his if they had to take mine.  The vast majority of Alan’s other single records have gone to number one.  His duet with me was his first not to crack the top 50.”  It actually peaked at number 57.  In June 1995, the song won the Music City News Country Awards “Vocal Collaboration of the Year”.In addition to a who’s who of past and present country stars, the album boasted two significant contributors from outside the country music field.  The first was Mark Knopfler, primarily known as leader and guitarist for the rock band Dire Straits.  A big country fan who had recorded an album with Chet Atkins in 1990, Knopfler played guitar and sang background on a remake of Jones’s first number one country hit from 1959, “White Lightning”, and can be heard laughing as Jones hams it up on the vocal.  The other rock musician who sang with Jones was Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones on “Say It’s Not You”, which originally appeared on Jones’s 1967 album If My Heart Had Windows.  In a 2004 interview that was posted on his website, Richards said of the meeting, “That was a great experience…To sing with George \u2013 and get away with it! \u2013 was amazing.  What a possum.”  In a 1996 Rolling Stone interview Jones confessed to Chuck Dean, “I’ll be honest with you: I love Keith Richards more than anything as a person.  He’s a character \u2013 just fun to be around.”  An hour-long documentary-style special was filmed in late 1994 to promote the duet album. It aired in 1995 on The Nashville Network.  Among the guests were the duet partners, Tony Brown, Brian Ahern, and Owen Bradley.

The production is too clean and polished, lacking any of the grit of true honky tonk records. Furthermore, songs like “A Good Year for the Roses” suffer from the stringless, stripped-down arrangements.Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]Brian Ahern \u2013 rhythm guitar (track 1), bass (track 10), acoustic guitar (tracks 2, 5 \u2013 7, 9, 11)Eddie Bayers \u2013 drums (tracks 1 \u2013 3, 5, 7 \u2013 10)Richard Bennett \u2013 acoustic guitar (tracks 1, 4, 6, and 11)James Burton \u2013 electric guitar (tracks 5 and 11)Jerry Douglas \u2013 resonator guitar (tracks 1 \u2013 4, 8, and 9)Paul Franklin \u2013 steel guitar (tracks 5, 7, and 10)Vince Gill \u2013 guitar (tracks 4, 6, 7, and 10)Glen D.
