Alone Again (album)

Alone Again is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1976 (see 1976 in country music) on Epic Records.

Background

After the disappointing chart performance of his last two albums (1975's Memories of Us and 1976's The Battle), Jones bounced back with Alone Again, which got to number 9 on the Billboard albums chart, propelled by the success of the hit single "Her Name Is", which rose to number 3. In the liner notes to the Jones compilation Anniversary - 10 Years of Hits, producer Billy Sherrill admits the song is about Tammy Wynette, whom Jones had divorced the year before. Ironically, interest in the couple was more intense than ever, so much so that two singles released by Epic, "Golden Ring" and "Near You", shot to number one. In his 1996 autobiography, Jones made no apologies about exploiting his personal woes: "The press had made my personal life so public so frequently for so long that I didn't care what people knew, didn't know, or thought they knew about me. If folks bought my records because they thought I was breaking down, which I happened to be, then so be it."

Alone, Again

Quiet Song is a solo piano album by Paul Bley, recorded in Norway in 1974 and released on Bley's own Improvising Artists label in 1975.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars noting "Bley stayed mainly in the piano's center, creating nimble melodies, working off them and crafting alternate directions or intriguing counterpoints. It was intellectual, occasionally stiff, but never dull or detached".

"Alone Again" is a power ballad written and released by the American heavy metal band Dokken on their 1984 album Tooth and Nail. The single reached #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was written by singer Don Dokken and bassist Jeff Pilson. Its lyrics talk about a man's depression after a break-up. The music video had a story similar to a lot of other power ballads. Almost 70% of it is filmed in black and white along with some coloured scenes. It shows the band performing the song live along with some shots of Don Dokken being alone in a room.
