Encore - George Jones

Encore is a compilation album by George Jones released on the Epic Records label in 1981.

As a compilation, the album is overshadowed by Anniversary - 10 Years of Hits, which was released the following year, but Encore is significant because it features the obscure Jones cut "We Oughta Be Ashamed", which he composed with Earl Montgomery. Both Johnny Cash and Elvis Costello also recorded versions of the song. Encore also features duets with James Taylor and Willie Nelson. The album peaked at number 43 on the Billboard country albums chart.
