I love this song! The first time I heard this was over the radio...then my sweet country boyfriend was holding me while he whispered this into my ear! Merry Christmas Sweetheart I LOVE YOU!!!!
@zack245730771 You're wrong there! I just listened to Josh's. It's good, but there's only one George Jones. Nobody can sound like George Jones! I don't care who does the song, it's not going to beat the original.
@zack245730771 Georges version is better, and I'll agree it is a classic. This is "Real" country music. Today's country music cannot carry a candle to the old time country singers.
maybe not so in his younger days, but with his present wife , i think he is being truthful . concert recorded in 1993 he had already been happily married to Nancy ten years. I am glad he found his way and been able to stick around this long . God Bless you George as your near 80th birthday!
@Hicktown125 Seems like someone has BEAT your ass because you can't spell or use proper puntuation. I think George Jones is a hell of a nice guy. What he did in the past is in the past. Do you understand that?
I remember when this song came out, my little boy was about 3 and he thought George was saying "I'm a one hummin' man." This takes me back to those good days because my little boy turned 27 last week. Doesn't this song, especially this version, make you want to get up and jig? I LOVE it!
Song still rocks, Thank's "Show Up Jones". Brings back the 60's to me, original artist Johnny Horton's song. Go listen to the original song, but remember he didn't have early 90's band, just the small late 50's band. All I can say "Johnny made George do it" We,ll Jones "North to Alaska" next
@Fragalishus This is from George Jones Live in Tennessee from 1992, I know because i was there. It was an awesome show. Jones is one hell of a performer and the king of country music.
concert recorded live in 1993 Knockville,Tn.Saw George Jones this year in Berggettstown,Pa.He's getting up in age.still good at 80 years old!The best!
My husband sang this song to me quite often through the years, hitting the low parts with a grin on his face. He died a year ago today of cancer. I found it on Youtube awhile back, but I really needed to hear it again today. Lisa S., Bullard, TX
@mizzdoreena I agree . .I am an old fart so grew up and cut my teeth on him and other legends of the day in country and bluegrass .... in his day King George was the best !!! Still is considered the greatest ' living' country singer ... and 80 yrs old and still doin over 60 concerts a year . .he also has been a big inspiration to me and others with his successful battle with alcohol addiction ;-)
Aired on PBS around 2004, but they re-broadcast it every now and then. I noticed it was on again last year some time. The concert itself I'm not sure when it was recorded.
@Fragalishus I'm not sure but I think this is from the George Jones Live in Tennessee concert and it's available on DVD. It was recored at the Knoxville Civic Arena in May 1993. I'm not sure of the date but I know George's voice isn't quite as good as it was when this was recorded. I'm not really a George Jones fan but after seeing this....I'd love to buy this DVD!
@Fragalishus I believe it was around 1992? or so... In his autobiography, he speaks on it and I'm rereading the autobiography again, to remember where it is. But it's definately recorded in the early 90's, before George had the open-heart surgery, the car accident and the face lift.
This was recorded some time in 1995. I know this because i was brought up watching the video, my father is a massive jones fan and so am i. He is at his best around those years
@jbarr621 So so true. My dad passed away in August. I was so disappointed that there was no good stuff on the tv or country radio station at the hospital while I visited with him. It would of been nice to relive some old memories at that time with some Hank or George. Maybe even some Loretta Lynn or Dolly. New country just doesn't connect like the old stuff does.
There are 2 geniune Country Music artists in the world. They are (1) Mr George Possom Jones and (2) Mr George Strait. George Jones IS the best Country artist------EVER!
I have to disagree. While I think both of said singers are great, there's just so many that it can never be listed down to a select few. 1) Johnny Horton 2) Johnny Cash 3) Roger Miller 4) Toby Kieth 5) Alan Jackson 6) Chris LeDoux 7) Waylon Jennings 8) Kris Kristofferson 9) Willie Nelson. There's hundreds more. But there's just so many geniune artists in the world that I just don't believe you can narrow them down. I think it's more of a mood thing. The list changes on mood I think.
Miller and Horton songs are still to this day surviving. Miller's King of the Road and Horton's One Woman Man and Honky-Tonk Man are still being sand by different artists but the Battle of New Orleans is still his song and people today are still listening to it yet he died in the sixties.
I'm a huge fan of Josh Turner, but although his version is good, its not the same; However, i will say Josh's cover of the old Don Williams song "Your Man" is amazing.
Well that's certainly possible. Perhaps the PBS broadcast of this concert is from 2004. As I said, from the digging I did it seems this particular concert is from "Live from Tennessee" and I believe that was released in 2004. The actual concert could have been recorded earlier tho.
