Love Bug is an album by American country music singer George Jones. It was released in 1966 on the Musicor Records label.

Background

As Bob Allen points out in his book George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend, "During the next six years, with Musicor, George recorded more than over 280 songs – most of which were done in rushed, sloppily produced sessions – and help to establish for himself a somewhat unwelcome reputation as one of country music's most overrecorded artists." Love Bug was one of several albums Musicor issued on Jones in 1966, with some of the same songs – such as "Things Have Gone To Pieces", "Take Me", and the title track – reappearing. The album mostly features songs made famous by other artists, such as Dave Dudley, Roger Miller, and Merle Haggard. It reached number seven on the country album chart.
