Rare Interview with Country Music Legend George Jones

[@MarthaPate-b2d]

George Jones is and was the best Country singer that ever existed He in my eyes was the King of Country music he is a legend in his own right He could sing any song and make it sound great. I love some good Ol George Jones music He is and was the very best . R.I.P Mr. George Jones you will surely be missed by all

[@robertbowling8393]

Amen. You said it all right here. I spent my younger years (decades of them) following this man's music ... his style, his overall being George Jones. I reached a point where others tried to talk me into attempting a career of my own. In my opinion tho, there was only room for ONE George Jones, and he was it. Tho duplicity has been attempted, I my opinion no one on earth could have the right to copycat his style and his work. I'm satisfied that many said I had mastered his style and sound. That was good enough for me. It did absolutely nothing for George Jones, but it meant much to me. God Bless and rest George Jones.

[@matthewblackwood4704]

When I was about 5 years old, sometime back in the 80s, I lived near Nashville. We were going down the highway and we came up on a limo with "the possum" written on the side. The windows were tinted except for the front ones. We drove up past it and George Jones was driving it himself, he looked over and waved at me. Awesome thing. RIP No Show

[@didifalkman7585]

George could sing a song like no other. A true country singer. Thanks for all the great recordings you left us with. Miss you Possum.

[@JHargis68]

George was so down to earth, just a good ol country boy. He wasn't full of himself and didn't really realize how special he was. He's always seemed like a favorite uncle to me.

[@SuzyQ1956]

He was certainly one of a kind, there will never be another like him, i think they threw the pattern away on him, he was so special and i don’t think he ever realized just how special he was.

[@honestj820]

Hey how are you doing…?

[@jscountrygirl85_326]

It's been almost ten years now since George Jones passed, and I still really miss him. I love how he was always never afraid to speak his mind when it came to the state of country music. It makes me sad to think how upset he'd be about the direction mainstream country has gone in the last ten years, if he was still alive. It's only gotten much worse since he passed, I'm afraid. I really do wish most of the modern "country" singers would just create their own genre, maybe "southern pop," which is a much more accurate label for what they're doing.

[@SamathaNLouisiana]

I'm just curious how you felt about Hank Williams Jr. when he was contemporary. If I learned one thing from Ken Burns' documentary on Country music, music evolves with us.

[@SuzyQ1956]

It makes me sad as well, the fact that we are still talking about him is great. Music may evolve but most of today’s country is not country at all, I’m so glad we still have Alan Jackson, George Straight and of course Willie, I go see Dwight Yoakam every time he’s near me and he always does a special tribute to Merle, music can evolve forever but traditional classic country is the best, Ray Price was a good one.

[@thomasallen3818]

George was and Still the greatest. He hit the nail on the head when he said they need to put country back into the music, and let the powers that be, go to New York City. Or, as I like to say, to hell. Even little Georgie Strait will tell you, The Possum is still the King.

[@marlenesullivan3113]

I AGREE

[@libertygiveme1987]

I think George Jones was really a very shy man when you got down to it. I wish he and Tammy could have stayed together; they were just sooooooo LOVING toward one another. But his last wife Nancy should be given credit for getting him TOTALLY OFF THE BOTTLE and I think helping him lead a much happier existence.

[@thatgirlthatsme]

I understood what he meant. We can't bring these real country music singers back but we can keep their music alive. We are doing it now because we have KZbin. Radio stations are forgetting about them and the new artists are moving in and changing the way country music is supposed to sound. They are good singers but they don't need to be on the Grand Ole Opry stage or call their music county music. They need their own identity like George said. Call it something else. I'm thankful for KZbin and for people who are keeping real country music and our legends alive with channels like this one. ❤

[@atfourothirtythree]

@@thatgirlthatsme I will always listen to traditional country. ..or classic country..70s, 80s and most of the 1990s . still there are new artists who are singing the old traditional sound of country but sadly they are not the mainstream. These are a new generation of listeners calling themselves country fans when the sound they are listening to shouldn't be called country music as it has changed far too much from its original style. .so yes... Jones is right here. Call it something else.

Prior to his death there were reports that George wasn't doing well and of course he was 81, so it wasn't a shock as was the news that Elvis had died. When I heard Jones had passed away I just wanted to be alone. I didn't want to hear any news report so I sat quietly and fell asleep for a few hours. I was grieving in my own way.

Oh shit.if she understood her man she would have been there.actually not about understanding it’s called unconditional love.DO IT

[@thatgirlthatsme]

@@jamesalexander703 You don't stay with a man who loves getting drunk more than he loves his wife and child or even his music career. And you can't fix him. I understand what he put Tammy and Nancy through because I stayed with a man just like George for 20 years because of the 'unconditional' love that you speak of. There comes a day when you realize you can't fix them and you call it quits for your own sake. That day comes when you start loving yourself. George quit drinking when he almost died from the car crash. He got help through therapy. Even Nancy couldn't help George with his drinking problem. Although George did say that her love helped him a lot. So you saying "do it" pisses me off somewhat. Do what? Stay with a man who you love "unconditionally" who treats you really bad when he's drunk? Even George said he was mean when he was drunk. I have nothing against him so don't get me wrong. I am one of his and Tammy's biggest fans. But I understand why she ended it because I lived the same life. I read comments all the time that say they loved each other in the end. You can tell by the way they looked at each other when they sang. Of course they did. You never stop loving someone you love. I still love my x and he still loves me and I get those same comments. But you saying Tammy should have stayed with him unconditionally is wrong. Just stating how I feel about your comment. 😠

[@thatgirlthatsme]

@just here Yep it's sad that he didn't get help when they were together. It was obvious they loved each other a lot.

[@thatgirlthatsme]

[@bonniebrown6960]

It sounds so much a like... that I can't tell who is who . Now , like George said , some of it is not their fault . They are made to come out with that style of music. I think there's probably some that could really sing country music . They have that southern accent already , but they're some that just need to be on pop radio stations . I don't even think we even have a pop radio station anymore in the state that I live in . I haven't heard of one . I think that would actually help them , because then they could be remembered for certain songs . If I turn on the radio today and you asked me who was singing that song I probably wouldn't know the answer . It probably doesn't help that some people can't afford to have cable t.v. anymore also. Since the internet the cable companies have went up on their prices so much people like me can't afford it . I had Direct TV ..... I was paying for basic cable . I never changed anything on my plan , but every month my bill would be different. I could talk to 3 different people and get 3 different prices on what my bill was . That's just ripping people off . But anyway.....that means we can't watch country music videos and see who is who either . That was my piont I was trying to get to . Sorry didn't mean to talk your ear off . LOL!

[@charlenemontgomery1850]

George is one of a kind. There'll never be another George. But that don't mean there will never be any more country music artist. I mean REAL country that George is talking about. There's no comparison to the real country music he is talking about to the new country music today. We all miss the real country music artist that when you turn the radio on you know who the artist is the minute you hear them sing. The kind of artist that becomes legends and are legends forever. Today it's hard to know who is who when you hear a new song on the radio. There's usually a lot more music than singing. The songs are more about who wrote it than what's it's saying. Some artist wollow their words around in their mouth so much that its a chore to have to listen closely to know what they are saying. I like listening to the words of a song and relating to it. I love the story type songs that leaves you something to think about. All this high pitched picking and singing gets on my nerves. I like some of it and respect all the new artist but I wish there could be both THE REAL AND THE NEW so all of us could enjoy country music as we know it.

Well , he didn't get to see traditional country music come back before he passed away and it still hasn't changed. I agree with him on that . It's not that It's not good music , but it's just not country music . Just like when Elvis 1st started out he was a trendsetter and started out singing rock-n-roll . Which in my opinion Elvis Presley could sing anything. Country rock sounds a lot like what people use to call Rock- a- billy to me. Or maybe it just should come up with it's own name . Anyway...I got to see George Jones twice at Lanier Land in Ga. My step grandmother went one time to see him play and he really didn't show up . That was back when he got the name No Show Jones . LOL! I've grew up listening to his music and loved it and always will . He definitely will be missed . Thanks for sharing this great interview. RIP George

Hey how are you doing…?

I think Country Music is back. People still love it. Concerts are always sold out. The pandemic certainly did not help. In general people want to hear and understand the words they can relate their life to and feel to their hearts and souls. We have talent out there and new upcoming talent as well how do you get more TV exposure.
