There will never be another George Jones. Long live the Opossum

[@arthurburkhart3710]

Kathie says…GEORGE JONES…my Favorite Country Singer. Listen to THE GRAND TOUR…you will feel his heartache.

[@bekahms]

George Jones was one of George Strait's idols in country music. "Murder On Music Row" is a duet with Alan Jackson and George Strait and a great song. "When country music megastars George Strait and Alan Jackson performed “Murder on Music Row” live during the 1999 Country Music Association Awards show, the two singers used the song's blunt lyrics to critique the radio-friendly sheen of contemporary country and its threat to traditional songwriting and artistry." Radio was not playing old, classic, traditional, country music. The industry was abandoning traditional country music for more pop-friendly music. This song takes a shot at that.

George Jones - "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" Official Video Country Music = Heavy Scotch / Irish Roots cross pollinated.with the Blues and filtered through Gospel Music. You will hear these influences to varying degrees depending on the culture and influences of the artist in question.

[@dagmar.6954]

George Jones was a country legend singer songwriter from the 50's-80's. He struggled with alcoholism & drugs during his life. He was married at one time to fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette & they had some great duets together. He had so many hits such as "White Lightnin'", "She Thinks I Still Care", "We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds", "Love Bug", "Things Have Gone to Pieces", "The Race Is On", "My Favorite Lies", "I'll Share My World With You", "Take Me", "A Good Year For The Roses," "If My Heart Had Windows", "He Stopped Loving Her Today" & many others.

[@darrinlindsey]

For your next George Jones song, I'd suggest I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair. Hopefully you can do the official video, as it's quite humorous.

[@joshuamason9084]

I once heard a quote "George Jones taught us all how to sing with a broken heart" and truer words were never spoken.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Such a great song. Since you've done 2 sad songs by George do White Lightning. It will make you smile.

[@chaspullen3544]

What a legend couple for you rocking chair and white lightning keep up the good work Keep On Keepin On brother peace out!

[@BelleDede01]

Here's one you should listen to and you'll understand why this song has a lot of meaning, not just from George Jones' perspective, but Alan Jackson's too. "Alan Jackson protesting the decision to not allow George Jones to sing his full song. George refused to appear on the show." So Alan Jackson showed the Country Music Academy/Awards, what he thought of them for treating an icon like George the way they did. Alan starts off with one of his songs, Pop-A-Top but then switches to Choices, then walks off the stage to a huge round of applause. He made his point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu5oWl8gpWUfpI

[@kati2224]

I remember that.

[@karenc1564]

yes. it was an excellent statement Alan made that night

[@vickybrackin7483]

THAT is why I LOVE Alan Jackson!!

[@zachgates7491]

Tons of Jones songs you could react to. His “A good year for the rose” was covered by Elvis Costello and did well in the UK charts. “The King is Gone (and so are you)” is a fun one.

[@MsSigurd3]

He was a legend 💞💞

[@tuffguy0134]

George Jones' voice was the Rolls Royce of country music. Hard to think of a better voice with that much richness and emotion. This song captures just how amazing his voice was. RIP Possum.

[@michelleortega1514]

Hes singing his life story here.He was my favorite country singer and his ex wife Tammy wanted was my favorite female country singer.

[@jackiesloan8547]

George has always been my favorite. What a voice ! Listen to Tyler Childers he is a young man from Ky that will pleasantly surprise you.

[@velvetplatz1024]

I love George Jones. A couple of great songs by him you might want to react to are "The Grand Tour" and "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes" with the last one you want to react to the official video of. Have a great day.

[@deeannaestep9375]

I love how you were talking about the violin and then quickly switched to fiddle. You are learning quickly my friend. Love your reactions!

[@carolinasbeauty]

Thank you for this video and reaction! George was stuck in the past and the newer country passed him by. This release was sort of a comeback song for him. And no truer lyrics were ever written. I cried the first time I heard it. There is no confusing his voice with any other in country or any other genre of music. George was a rebel, but much loved by those who knew him and in the industry. Just take a look sometime at the memorial service he had and all the true country artists (and others) who came and sang his songs in tribute.

[@robertrodgers1423]

You don't do it often yet when that right hand goes over your heart and those fingers begin tapping, it is a great song you believe in. Thanks for sharing.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yeah, I love when he gets into it, like that!!

[@ntracefan]

George Jones has a voice like no other. I love his music. You should listen to White Lightning by him lol

[@darrinlindsey]

The 2 songs you've done are separated by about 40 years, in release dates. This was one of his very last solo records that hit the billboard charts. He had a few collaborations after this. I believe he was in his 70s when this song was recorded.

[@Judy0910]

I don't know anyone that doesn't like George Jones. He's one of the best. He stopped loving her today is one of my favorite songs

[@catwhisperer9489]

LOVE his voice!!! I've always found it interesting when people---especially someone from another country---like such a wicked twang; I would think it would be an acquired taste. A couple little tidbits for ya.... 1. He was in the military. 2. Jean Shepard (famous honky-tonk singer) gave him his nickname "Possum". Jean said he walked-in one day, with a new haircut, and she said "Good Lord, George, you look like a possum"!!! LOL I don't know if he's Irish---I can definitely see what you're saying---but, I wouldn't doubt it, cuz practically every other Southerner has English/Irish/Scottish roots, in some combination, including myself. You can look at alot of stuff in the South, and quite clearly see its influence---for instance, if you've never seen, or don't know what clogging is, just watch "Riverdance"!!! I'm so happy that you appreciate him!! Yeah, here's "White Lightenin'", for ya---TOO FUNNY!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uuloGofsmclc0

[@danwilliams9299]

Beautiful fiddle intro:.great song speaking the truth. Pretty much a bio of his life. We ve all had choices..some came with regrets. Some were good choices. Thats life. What an icon of true old country. Soo many followed george . As they say:country music is 3 chords and the truth!great reaction. Great chann good times. Keep it up. A fan from north florida usa..dan. 3/10/22

[@barbarahorton2344]

I am a George Jones fan.Always have been for many years.

[@anntotty2081]

George Jones has a song called Who's Gonna fill their shoes which should be your next song

[@roniboyd613]

Yup, here's another vote for White Lightnin'!!!! Great reaction, loved it💖💖💖

[@filthymcnasty4u284]

Thank you for the reaction. I forgot about this song but I won't anymore. It's been a minute since I heard this .

[@melissacaddell2604]

I never appreciated his voice growing up. I do now. He sings so many songs about life. Hard things happen to everyone so it's easy to relate to what he is saying. I had never heard this one. Thank you.

[@judyjones1044]

He's probably much older in this recording. I think his voice and storytelling improved with age. Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite singers

[@carolinasbeauty]

One tribute to George was done to celebrate 50 years of his music. A singer by the name of Aaron Neville sang a cover of his song The Grand Tour. George performed this great classic with his memorable heartbroken sound, but Aaron put a little something extra in his. Worth a listen even if you don't react to it!

[@jwmson7791]

Merle Haggard has always been my favorite but I love ‘Possum’ too! They’re the OG’s for sure. Then you have the Outlaws with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, David Alan Coe, Jerry Jeff Walker etc ... And don’t forget the Texas sound - early on Bob Wills, of course, ‘King’ George, Radney Foster, Pat Greene, Charlie Robison, and now a very young guy from Van Alstyne TX that I love, Austin Michael. Check out Hard to Say Goodbye, Circles, Country Cred. Awesome review! ♥️🎶🎶 And for just one instance of the influence George had on Country music, check out Trace Adkin’s Jesus and Jones.

[@reneeholcomb205]

I think you are ready to react to his song “who’s gonna fill their shoes”

[@williameller7002]

The king is gone ,by George Jones

[@nopenope4158]

His death hit me REALLY HARD because we were a lot alike 😪 I struggle every day with alcoholism as he did

[@carollittle1059]

Country Royalty for sure. Please check out his duets with his then wife Tammy Wynette, Golden Ring

[@nopenope4158]

George Jones was a dear friend of my family may he rest in peace 🙏🏻

[@patwelch8187]

George also served in the Marine Corp. around 1953....

[@wgj4everlong426]

Just like Waylon wrote in a song"If we could all sound like we wanted to,We'ld all sound like George Jones."check out Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes,one of Jones's best

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

written by Billy Yates who also has a great voice and has had many albums out you should check out sometime. great traditional country singer/songwriter

[@rachellivermore1918]

You should listen to "You Don't Seem To Miss Me". This is a duet he sang with Patty Loveless. Beautiful song.

[@warrenburlingame1172]

Written by Billy Yates. He wrote this with George in mind to record this

[@dobiemom9245]

YEP!!! Love some older George Jones. ENJOY!!!

[@Gutslinger]

George Jones boycotted the CMA's in the 1990's, because he was supposed to open the show with this song, but the CMA's wanted him to shorten the song for the performance, and he refused. Since George was boycotting them, the CMA's got Alan Jackson to open the show instead. Alan Jackson opened the show singing his cover of a classic called "Pop A Top." But after the solos in that song, the band suddenly stopped and started playing the chorus of George Jones' "Choices." It was kinda Alan's classy way of telling the CMA's to shove it, for not letting a legend like George Jones sing his full song. After the song ended, they all immediately left the stage and got on their bus and left. The next day, Alan was on an old country music talk show on the TNT network. The host of that show was asking him questions about it. And then they had George Jones call in to the show, and George briefly told him how proud he was of him. It was a pretty cool moment/incident that I didn't know about until I randomly came across it a few years ago. That CMA performance and that interview are both on KZbin. Labeled: "Alan Jackson- Pop a Top/Choices" and "Alan Jackson gets praises from George Jones".

[@shellywheeler8729]

Yes, Yes, Yes, I'm happy to found this song, one of my country favorites.....but I'm still looking for you to play Hoyt Axton "Della and the Dealer"....storytelling at it's best, southwest style....you'll be singing this chorus in your sleep...

[@AnonymousAnonymous-dn2pk]

Incredible reaction react to I’m Over You or A Place in the Country.

[@debbiehardy2149]

Suggestion: Seven Spanish Angels by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson from 1984

[@maryannanderson2213]

Choices is a bit of a departure from what we have come to expect of George Jones but I love it. On the same album, Cold Hard Truth, he also has another song that is a bit different from most Jones song and it is '"When the Last Curtain Falls". That would be a good song for your reaction. George's songs that are iconic are The Grand Tour, A Good Year for the Roses, Things Have Gone to Pieces, Tender Years and She Thinks I Still Care, to name a very few.

[@MommaBird52]

Check out George doing I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair.

[@dominickthornburghakaTRG]

If you haven't heard it check out The Cold Hard Truth or When The Last Curtain Falls by George.

[@lindanicholson950]

Good Ones And Bad Ones is a good song.

[@danielleonforte540]

Cold Gard Truth...next please

[@lockaby1]

Try listening to Who's gonna fill their shoes by george jones its another great song

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

Old George, The Possum

[@hookstomper7322]

George Jones was the greatest country singer who ever lived. There are countless classic tunes of his you can get around to, but for my money, this rendition of "Things Have Gone To Pieces" is the ultimate country performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/analdHhvhKispc0

[@mikelaney3026]

Thank you for your reaction, if you get a chance check out Joey and Rory the Bible and the belt. God bless you and yours God bless the USA

[@smokeyplays7183]

do George Jones - The Way i am. please

[@tbirdfan93]

Can you react to George Jones our bed of roses

[@carlprince2866]

Bone dry is a good one

[@danmcdonagh8924]

Have you tried the George Jones version of Tennessee Whiskey. You will see how bland it was compared to Chris Stapelton's.

[@CaseysRepository]

Here in the real world Alan Jackson

[@CaseysRepository]

Please I should say 😂

[@joycemcgovern4167]
