@regginmugelub lisen kid best thing for you to do is go take a good strong junk of rope and hang your self before someone else hangs your sorry little ass and got to serve time for doing it
George hits every note in the vocal spectrum in one breath. What a true MASTER. Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift wouldn't even be fit to polish this mans shoes. George himself doesn't even know how great he is.
@MrJordanisking -Compare? I didn't compare them,because there IS NO COMPARISON. The point I was trying to get across is that this generations ability to recognize talent has been destroyed,or at least severely compromised by mass media and marketing. The people that this generation has thrusted into the spotlight have about as much talent as a man like Jones has in his pinky finger. I guess talent doesn't matter anymore as long as you have auto-tune, an image consultant, & a good agent
Would have given anything to been in Vidor around the 50s, 60s when he sang with my grandpa at the honky tonks there..have heard how those two would get drunk an play all night an the sound they had!! George is without saying the BEST! !!!
I had to check that credit myself! I'm sure I knew at some point that JT wrote it..I had the "JT" album when I was kid (still have it) and I've always loved George Jones (thanks, Mom!). amazing. There are so many artists who have done versions of this song, up to and including, Vince Gill, Amy Grant and my fave, Gavin DeGraw.
George doing a cover of a James Taylor song. Don't take my word for it. Let James tell you : cut and paste this : James Taylor "Covers"—Carnegie Hall, 4 of 9
@regulardave57 ,You almost have the truth...Taylor wrote this song for Georges late 1970's album, All My Special Guests'...It was written with the idea of George singing it.
George delivers on this one, did anyone catch when the reverb on the pedal steel players amp got knocked. The band just cruised through. My band "The Honky Tonk Knights" started playing this tune regularly. We do "Burn your playhouse down" too! Find us on facebook!
I have this Lousiana performance...my daughter who gave me the DVD as a gift, suggested that he sings better when he's had a few in him..i have to agree..provided that he showed up as he had here. ( past- tense....as he no longer does the no-show Jones thing) . But I never tire of his amaising talent..live or watching this and other recorded shows...30 years now a fan.
thank you! this is the best jones stuff on YouTube, with the possible exception of the ones of him on the Ronnie Prophet Show, where he is at his tortured best. in these ones, i think he has had a drink or two, but is basically quite loose. the best george jones comes when he is completely strung out. i saw him live in the early 80s when he literally had to be pushed onto the stage, and it was the best. I saw him later when he was totally into doing the show and it came nothing near.
ladies and gentelmen THE BEST THE ONLY GEORGE JONES aint no one that can out sing em, he's the best country music singer ever in my opinion you could beat the hell out of me and i wound not say other wise
Hey SutterSmith66, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for posting these clips. This was just George at his peak. You have helped my "party" many, many evenings since I discovered your posts. God bless you and George Jones, who is the greatest Country singer of all time.
@sguitarfan More people probebly agree with you than you think. I think it's pretty damn close to his best song ever, maybe tied with others. Definetly the best singer ever.
