George Jones was an American country music singer-songwriter who released many successful albums from the 1960s through the 80's. Though his most notable work was his releases on singles, there is much to appreciate about Jones in his many album releases. Oftentimes, Jones was called the Greatest Living Country Singer, and has inspired many artists in not only country music's scope.
Jones' most successful albums include: 1966's I'm a People, 1972's A Picture of Me (Without You), 1980's I Am What I Am, 1987's Super Hits, and 1999's Cold Hard Truth. The following is a list chronicling the album release history of Jones:
