RIP Possum. What you did was country music...not the disco with boots that’s popular today.

I heard George tell the story of this song. He told the album producer he did not want to record the song. He said “No one will buy it,..it is too damn sad.” He lost the arguement and the rest is history. There are many in country music who say George Jones had the greatest country music voice ever. He was one of a kind out of Beaumont, Texas.

Yeah, pop singers wearing cowboy hats. R.I.P. Jones. He had #1 hits in five decades, and I remember all of them.
