George Jones - If Not For You
Review by Arancha Herrero
If Not For You, the album by George Jones, is a testament to the country music legend's enduring talent. Released in 1991, the album features 10 tracks that showcase Jones' signature blend of traditional country and honky-tonk sounds.
The album opens with the upbeat "If Not For You," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Jones' rich, emotive vocals are on full display, as he sings about the transformative power of love.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Visit," a poignant ballad about a man visiting his estranged wife in the hospital, and "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," a defiant anthem that became one of Jones' most beloved hits.
Throughout the album, Jones' voice is backed by a tight band that includes some of Nashville's most talented musicians. The result is a cohesive, polished sound that never feels overproduced or slick.

Summary by Arancha Herrero
Comments
I spilled all the coffee that I try to make
Tried to do some sewin' stuck the needle in my hand
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man
Monday I washed when the sun was a-shining bright
I used too much bleach an' everything came out white
This house looks like the garbage hit the fan
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man
TV dinner, chicken pot pie is all I've had to eat
I've lost so much weight from living on hate till my shoes don't fit my feet
But still I've got to do the best I can
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man
Tried to iron my shirt but I had the iron too hot
Now there's a hole in the back of the best dang shirt I've got
Nothing turns out right the way I planned
And that's how it is when the wife runs off with another man
TV dinner, chicken pot pie is all I've had to eat
I've lost so much weight from living on hate till my shoes don't fit my feet
But still I've got to do the best I can
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man
That's how it is when the wife runs off with another man...
