Jones, who's also celebrating 51 years in the music business, has included on the album his first duet with fellow legend Dolly Parton, "The Blues Man," by Hank Williams Jr.

The "one" hit on the album that Jones didn't miss, by the way, is a re-working of his signature tune, "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
