The album 'Nothing Ever Hurt Me (Half as Bad as Losing You)' was released in 1973 by Epic Records, produced by Billy Sherrill. It represents a consolidated stage of George Jones in country music, following his success in the previous decade.
The album's title comes from the title track, which became a number one hit on the Billboard country charts in 1973. The record includes a mix of traditional ballads and songs with Sherrill's characteristic 'countrypolitan' sound.
This album reflects Jones's ability to convey pain and melancholy, recurring themes in his work. Although not considered his most innovative effort, it was well received by critics and the public, solidifying his reputation as one of the genre's great vocalists.
