The Crown Prince of Country Music is the 1960 country music compilation album released by Starday Records of previously unissued recordings released in January 1960. The album's original release, like the reissue edition, did not chart.
The album repackages many of Jones' early recordings that were previously made available to the public in other record formats. The oldest track dates back to Jones' first session in January 1954. The album's reissue in 2015 included the previous LP release of 1959, and bonus tracks of singles.
