Sings from the Heart is the 1962 country music studio album released by George Jones in June 1962. The album was his eleventh studio LP release, and was his last with Mercury, after switching to United Artists in late 1961. The album's theme was listing of songs about the heart, and contains his last #1 with Mercury Records from 1961, Tender Years.

The LP release was Jones' fourth studio release during the 1960s, and lists many of his last recordings with Mercury, after 5 years on the label.

Sings from the Heart was compiled from recordings during one of his last Mercury Records sessions, and some other sessions. The LP would be Jones' last release during his contract years with Mercury. The album includes his last #1 hit with Mercury titled, "Tender Years," and all other songs were titled with 'heart' somewhere. It contains 10 exceptional ballads, and the album was one of many LP's released by George in 1962.

The first track introduced on Sings from the Heart was "Achin', Breakin' Heart," which was recorded on February 8, 1961, and released as a single on January 6, 1962, and written by Rick Hall. "Hearts in My Dreams" was written by Jones and Roger Miller (1 of many the two wrote together in the late 50's), and recorded on April 23, 1957, and is the oldest track listed. "Candy Hearts" was a song written and recorded by Jones in April 1959, and later was released as the b-side to "Window Up Above" in June 1960. "Talk to Me Lonesome Heart" was written by James O'Gwynn, recorded in late August 1959, and was even included on his last LP release, Sings Country and Western Hits the previous year. The fifth track on the side was "With Half a Heart," which was written by Leon Payne and recorded in early April 1960. The last track of the side was "Heartaches by the Number," written by Harlan Howard, and recorded sometime in April 1960.
