Will You Visit Me on Sunday is a 1970 country music studio album released by George Jones. The album contains seven tracks written by Dallas Frazier, one written by his wife, Tammy Wynette, and others.[5] Gusto Records acquired the Musicor Records catalog and has re-issued some of George Jones' long out of print albums onto CD. This album was re-issued as "Image of Me" on CD in 2014. It contains the same tracks as the original album, but in a different order.
Background and critical reception
Will You Visit Me On Sunday, one of the singer's last releases on Musicor, peaked at number 44 on the country album charts, a dismal showing for a Jones record.[6]
Chris Woodstra of AllMusic notes, "When people criticize George's Musicor recordings for over-the-top arrangements and intrusive sappy vocal choruses, they're probably thinking of albums like this one...In fact it doesn't even look like a country album - the cover shows a seductive model and spells out the title in neo-psychedelic, wavy orange print."[3] Billboard praised the Frazier tracks, calling them "standouts."[5] Dave Marsh, in The New Rolling Stone Record Guide, noted that hits such as "All I Have to Offer You Is Me" made Jones "an influence among other country artists beyond his commercial stature."[1]
