One Woman Man is an album by American country music artist George Jones, released on February 28, 1989, on Epic Records.
Reception
[edit]One Woman Man received positive reviews and rose to No. 13 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Brian Mansfield of AllMusic calls it "One of Jones' best Epic albums." In his book George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend, biographer Bob Allen writes that Jones "seemed to briefly rediscover the old honky-tonk fervor he'd misplaced in middle age. The entire LP...was firmly anchored in the honky-tonk spirit."
Spin wrote, "That amazingly rangy voice is still all there, elevating Billy Sherrill's sappy production and the somewhat vapid material to undeserved heights. In case you don't know it, George Jones is the greatest white singer in the world."[1]
