The George Jones Story

The George Jones Story is a double album by George Jones. It was released on the Musicor label in 1967.

The album is a mixed bag of new recordings, covers of recent hits, and re-recordings of some early hits by Jones, including the Starday cuts "Seasons of My Heart" and "Color of the Blues". The album also features "I Threw Away the Rose" and "Swinging Doors", both written and made famous by Merle Haggard, who was becoming one of country music's biggest stars at the time.
