Jones is great , matter fact they are both great but to try and compare the two is totally unfair . Jones is by far a living Legend and so is straight you cant really compare two singers from different eras too many variables involved.
Just watched George do this tonight in St. Louis at ScottTrade Center. I thought it was awesome. First time to see George and I was on the Third row. I am 25 now, and I was 4 years old when I memorized "Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye"......And I feel that his voice is still very strong and pure. He sang about 30 songs in a little over 2 hours. The experience was Pure Gold!!! By the way.....Lee Ann Womack as the opener, then Reba, and finally George......I'm still in shock!
love this one! King George does this one so great! currituckman you are my neighbor,cause I'm in e.city. glad to know currituck people love George too!
I like George Strait's cover. It's Drinking Coffee not Whiskey. But you shouldn't be comparing. And anyone who wants to argue of which one of the two is better in sining all together is just an ass. Pointless and only to argue.
George Strait does this with a western swing and to show his respect for JC. He has people standing on their feet in the largest stadium in the world in Arlington so I THINK he has a few people that appreciate his effort. JC never sold out a Dallas Cowboys Football Stadium in under one hour..
"George Jones is a much better singer" ??? Has GJ had over 50 #1 hits? I like the possum too, but to say he has "a much better voice" than George Strait is crazy. You probably just need to get your ears checked.
I think you're both crazy to say one is better than the other...Jones is old school...and Strait is not-so-old-school. apples and oranges my friends...apples and oranges
now who is better is one of opinion. i am going on number one singles and over all sold hit records. but i love george jones. he is a great man and a truly honest man.
yeah that is true George Strait has more number ones and is a more marketable person than George Jones. But George Jones is the best country music singer ever. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, even Roy Acuff have said George Jones is the greatest country singer of all time. Voice compared to voice George Jones can sing lower than George Strait, and George Jones can sing higher than George Strait. Hell George Jones is George Straits hero.
To sferryballer1: That's a matter of opinion, which you are entitled to. Because someone can sing lower than someone else, does that make them a better singer? As far as GS idolizing GJ, I can't answer that, but I know Strait has a reputation of actually showing up at his concerts.
Both Strait and Jones are Good Singers. To say that one is better than the other and fight will just cause even more argument because its just a matter of opinion.
In my opinion Strait is definitly the Best! But that is my opinion and it won't help any one to fight with it, because it is what it is.
By the way, where did this argument over jones and Strait originate, this is a video of george strait singing jonny Cash.
Thanks for this video. I saw him earlier this year, but it was one of the few concerts on the tour where he didn't perform this number. I was dissapointed, I thought it would be a fun cover!
no by all means. George Strait is the king of country, he just recorded a new song for the new album, it's gonna be his next single. its really good. i love it. he uses a laptop at home and records all his music. i'm not allowed to tell you the name of the single though.
I am a huge fan of George and am a friend of Norma and Bubba (wife and son). And me and bubba sit down and listen to Bob and Asleep at the wheel, i personally think george is better, but bob wills is still the king of western swing. and George will be the first to tell you that. well besides me.
dude, it amazes me that you can remember to breath.
Let me explain something to you dick head. Other people don't always have to share your opinion about music with you... I actually have met and have family that knows George, and I like him. BUT in MY opinion....which is not yours, I like Bob better you sorry sap sucking piece of shit.
good point. but i was just sayin that i love this one. i love the way he does it, you should hear just him and his guitar do it, it sounds just as good.
Only George could cover this song and people like it or at least not b pissed.

just to correct you currituckduckman, GEORGE JONES is the king of country. Yes George Strait is very good, but George Jones is a much better singer.
