George Jones Sings the Songs of Dallas Frazier is a studio album by George Jones released in 1968 on Musicor Records. As the title suggests, the album consists entirely of songs written by songwriter Dallas Frazier, who was a key figure in country music at the time.
The album includes the song 'The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp', which became a hit for Jones, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1968. Other notable songs on the album are 'She's My Reason for Living' and 'I've Been Known to Cry', which were also released as singles.
This album is an example of Jones's approach in the 1960s of recording thematic albums dedicated to a single songwriter. Dallas Frazier was known for writing songs with vivid, often melancholic narratives, which perfectly suited Jones's emotive vocal style. The album did not achieve the same commercial success as some of his earlier works, but it is appreciated by collectors.
