I’ll agree that “He Stopped Loving Her Today” is one helluva country music song, but my personal George Jones favorite is “The Grand Tour,” in which he leads his listeners through a house in which he and his wife (who has left him) once lived.

George Jones never sang a song that I didn’t like. His range is amazing.

Almost 80 and still doesn’t sound bad.

Yeah he screwed up plenty, so did his compadres. Johnny Casn, Waylon Jennings and others. Sometimes he laughed at himself sometimes he cried. Not sure Tammy was a good partner for him in other than song, but he loved her no doubt of that.

George was the best Still is IMO, these new guys suck.
