I've played this video about 100 times and am STILL watching in AWE. The respect shown to Country Music's "Greatest Living Country Singer" is unmatchable. It just doesn't matter how many times I watch this, the hair on my arms and neck still stands tall when the light comes pouring through those doors and Jones himself comes walking in. I just don't have words for how this song makes me feel! This is REAL Country Music!!! Bravo Mr. Beddingfield!
@KLUNKET The wife and I saw George live last night in Wendover, NV. They played this song before Greorge came out and I must admit that a had a little weep.
Good song, bad video. All of the archival footage shots of George seem to be stretched to 16x9 from 4x3. This is very disrespectful to a Country music legend.
Without the Possum and the video, this song is just another song. With George walking in at the end, it's one of the greatest new songs. The way the camera doesn't show his face for so long really conveys the power of George and gives the audience time to think about the legend and Gospel of Jones. I love this video!!!!!
GEORGE JONES IS AND WILL FOREVER BE THE GREATEST THERE EVER WAS HE COULD MAKE YOU HAPPY OR RIP YOUR HEART OUT WITH HIS SONGS AND HIS VOICE ONCE YOU HEAR IT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@TheBudman5266 u got it pretty close budman..he could even rip your heart out and make you happy as hell all in one song. just listen "hotter then a $2 pistol"
This is one of the greatest songs in a long time. Most of these young guys and girls can hold a candle to him. He is one of, if not the last , great that's still alive.
glad to see new country singers STILL can sing REAL country music and not this pop country junk and respect the ones that came be for them like george did i saw george live in concert a mouth ago he's old but he's still got it.
WOW ! ! ! ... what a contrived piece of attempted commercial GAR BAYGE ! ! ... a 5 year old who was given a song list could have written this piss poor homage ... and the WORST part... George put his stamp of approval on this JOKE .... it's a SAD SAD day for country music... i weep for the industry :( :(
@mamahuma buddy you don't know what the fuck you're talkin about so shut the fuck up cause this is a great song! you couldn't even write this song so shut up you som bitch and stay the fuck off this page!!!
@MultiCountryboy101... So... your like 15yo, and can only express yourself with profanity?? ... maybe you should change your handle on here, to appilationboy? ... but i think that would STILL be claiming too much intelligence. I applaud the artists effort to pay tribute, but it is just TOO slick, cheesy, and WAY,"already done to death", to be good, or worthy of THE LEGEND, which is G.J.
@GregoryJohnsonJr ... in keeping with the high mental standards on here... i am rubber, you are glue... etc ... NEENER NEENER NEENER... OMG what a bunch of Tards !
Chills up the SPINE bruh!!! ...he just walked in, sat behind him, sang a few notes ...I'm shaking, crying a bit the while time... The man looks to be in good shape for his age even after all the trials of his long decorated trying life... It was just so amazing to see him, too amazing... The man is beyond legendary, the DEFINITION of legendary. George Jones is THE BEST that ever did it. No one then, no one now, no one ever better than him.
Wow... brought tears to my eyes when the "Old Possum" walked in the church! Seen Jones in concert about a month ago in Elkhart, IN... after all these years he can still get down!
Is there ANY way to get this masterpiece on CD? I can't find it ANYWHERE.
THIS is a country song! One of the greatest tributes to the greatest singer to ever sing a song.
You gotta love it. Don't watch it if you don't like it -- a song like this deservs no hate from Bible thumping people who think saying the word "God" is a sin because it's taking the Lord's name in vain. So if you don't like it, skip over it.
Amazed me when it opened his show back on 9/23/11. Blew me away, and still does.
@FreelanNAmber If you click the show more link below the video. There are links to purchase the song and/or album from itunes. You can also purchase from his website
@larrypetree well if you don't like the song why did you take time out of your day just to say some stuff like that? let the people who like the song enjoy it! Cause I think it's bad ass and he is paying tribute to a country legend!
this is what true country music is!!! all that new stuff sounds more like soft rock in a way dont get me wrong its still good music as well but its not true country!!
@123dogtrainer - if you don't like the song, then don't listen to it. Nobody gives a shit if you believe in the Bible or not, so why would you give a shit if those that like this song do or not? This song is just paying some respect to George Jones. Your ignorant opinions aren't going to hurt the possum too much- he has charted more than 200 hits, so obviously some people think ol' George is worth more than your opinion of the Bible.
hey there, anybody out there got any idea why You Tube videos wont play on my computer all the sudden? I ve played them for years and now they wont. I got a feeling is has to do with new a/v software i just installed. Any suggestions?
I've watched this video at least 10 times and I get goosebumps every time when George starts singing. Thinking about all those legendary country artists just makes me emotional. George is the best of all time.
Love this song! Great lyrics! Eric does a great job but, when the Great George Jones appears, it just puts the song over the top! Nobody can sing it like George!!!
I don't think it's a good idea to watch this video with a belly full of beer, seeing the Possum walk in that church really got to me, gonna be a sad sad day for music when he passes on.
I absolutely love this song. George Jones is one of my top all time favorites. It almost makes me cry to see all the old pics. Thank you Eric Beddingfield for this wonderful tribute to a great country music Icon.
LUV LUV LUV IT. I'm so glad George is still being honored with a song. He really is the greatest country singer of all time & this video with Eric is fantastic. The song is great & the pictures are wonderful
Just got word of a new tune ELB got out there...called The Great Depression...and there is a You tube video of it. On the same page you can see another great tune...More Than One Year at a time...check em out! The boy is pickin up steam!
This is a GREAT song, I cannot even describe the feeling I got when ol' Jones started to walk into that church. The Gospel According to Jones?? DAMN STRAIGHT!!
I can not even express to you the feeling that comes over me when I hear this song let alone watch the video. I swear to you every hair on my body stands on end. I downloaded it off itunes the moment I heard it along with a few others I found that I liked of yours. Thanks and can't wait to hear more.
this is by far the best modern country song that i have ever heard in my life hands down. Im 21 years old and have a passion for true blue country music. Besides Jamey Johnson, Eric Church, and a few others, there not too much real country out there. but this dude. oh hell yea, this is what im talking about. keep it up boss man. keep representing real country music
Your voice is great, but I gotta say, I'd love to see you really cut loose! We know who George Jones is, but your songs have to say who you are... give us something new.
Got the tune into the local country station here...should be hearing it in the rotation within a couple of weeks according to the PD...great work E! When you gonna be in OH so we can see ya up close and personal???
We were at the premiere! You have such a beautiful voice and likable personality. We know you'll go far. "The Gospel According to Jones" is a wonderful song that meshes old country with new. We wish you all the best as you launch your career. Take care, Erin (the redhead) and Cathy Russell
Damn Son! Just keep on living the dream. Nice work. Next time don't make us loyal fans wait so long to see it. Do you think give TGATJ a bump up the charts in the next couple of weeks? I'm gonna call my radio stations now!
I can't watch this enough... I just love it so much..
