Merle and George both called each other the greatest country singer to ever live. As we are the audience, I think we can all agree they are both the two greatest country singers to ever live. Will never be another like them! RIP my friends.

[@GeorgeWoodruff-v9l]

Merle was the better song writer, but Possum had Merle in the voice category and the emotions he could bring to a song. Love them both!!

[@KLUNKET]

It just dawned on me as I was listening to this for the millionth time this morning, Not only the good traditional country sound is being forgotten, but there is another aspect of the art that has fallen by the wayside... spoken verse. I LOVE IT when an entertainer would break off into a verse or two of spoken word in their songs. It takes a lot of talent to put the right amount of emotion into their speaking voice when doing narration during a song. I love it! Jones did it flawlessly here.

Yes, and doesn't he do a fabulous job of it?

[@ACcountryFan]

For those unaware, this is actually the title track of George's final studio album for Epic Records in 1990. That album was severely under-rated and the label didn't promote any of the songs from it. Although this is a great song...the album's opening song, "Hell Stays Open All Night Long", is also wonderful.

[@bernicesimister1380]

This is really a great song,one that I love.

[@tgh223]

u nailed it

[@KLUNKET]

I have that LP, and I've always been in love with George's rendition of "Ol' Red"... George recorded that song before Blake Shelton had a hit with it... Jones should have had the hit, not Shelton! If you listen to both of their vocals and compare them, Jones performance blows Shelton's right out of the water! They aren't even in the same universe!

[@candiskirby7585]

Barbara McBee From Roger Miller’s musical, Big River. Quite a few songs from that show which are just as good.

[@tombeatty3616]

He never sang a song, he performed it with passion and his own touch Had to love him !!

[@Rareed63]

Merle called him the Greatest Country Artist to ever live and I'd say that's something coming from someone that George Jones considered his favorite country artist.

[@normanhouston1480]

Robert Reed... George was a gentleman and had alot of respect for Merle Haggard... Haggard was one of his favorites still living to that day

[@otacordi8654]

George Always sing from the Heart.

[@lukasnummer1]

Merle Haggard was the master. He could write, he could play and he could sing, he could do everything. His life was a country song. George Jones may have been Merle's favorite, but Merle's lyricism alone puts him on another level.

[@dennismosley717]

With all due respect to Haggard. Jones was on a different level as a singer than he was. Nobody and I repeat Nobody was even close to his talent level. The absolute greatest singer to ever walk on this earth.

[@Rareed63]

@@dennismosley717 you listen to Haggard when he was younger and I'd have to disagree, Georges voice got better with age Merles didn't go listen to holding things together,

[@possumjones5279]

I'm only 16 but I raised myself off classic country because I hated what the claim as "country" today but I've listend to classic country for 9 years and George jones has always been my favorite. He inspired me to sing I learned how to sing by copying his vocals. I'm so thankful to have George as my idol I still remember the day he passed R.I.P, I sang tramp on your street in class and my teacher started calling me possum that literally made me smile being nicknamed after the person I look up too and love so much

pat hayes Different people have different tastes in singers and there are different styles of country music and have been in the past few decades.

George is the king of country music. Personally, I think he was at his best in the 90s. Country has turned into crappy rock with a fiddle in it. All these Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift fans don't know what country music is. If it don't got fiddle and steel guitar, its not a country song.

[@tedclark9825]

George Jones was arguably the greatest country singer ever. I think he got better as he got older. He could squeeze more emotion out of a lyric than anyone I can think of. (And Roger Miller was underrated as a writer of serious songs. Tremendous talent...!)

[@KLUNKET]

Yes sir!!! When the BEST of the BEST would call someone the best, that is really saying something! I've said this a thousand times but when asked, almost every single legendary artist in and outside of the genre, folks who were considered the very best of their field, people like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Dolly Parton (the list goes on and on) would say that they WISH that they could sing like George Jones. It is hard to grasp just how prolific it is when someone who rose to the top of their fields and are loved by millions would say that they wish they could sound like someone else... I don't know that any other artist has ever been so admired and praised on such a level. Waylon Jennings quoted during an interview many years ago "If we could all sing like we wanted to and sounded like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones". That quote just about sums it up for me! Sadly, the ONLY performer on EARTH who didn't appreciate how insanely good George Jones was, was George Jones himself. He never understood all of the "fuss" as he would call it. My wife would always say that "George Jones was proof that God loves Country Music, why else would he put all of that talent into just one man?"

[@NicholasYaekle]

KLUNKET completely agree. Even Frank Sinatra said of Jones "He's the second greatest singer in the world." (obviously referring to himself as best, mostly in jest)

[@Musictherapistjn]

"If teardrops are falling where you are tonight, then"... you're probably listening to George Jones sing a country ballad to absolute perfection. I could listen to George sing this song a thousand times and he could still make my tears flow a thousand times. No one will ever come close to Geroge's voice quality and the emotion he put into a song. I've never seen or heard anyone truly be in the moment and "be the song" any better than George did it every time he sang. I believe he was able to do this because he had lived every song he ever sang. He lived a lot of lives in his time. George will never know how much his family, friends and fans truly miss him but I hope he knew how many people he made smile, cry and even laugh (he had a great sense of humor). I hope he knew how much he was loved by so many.
