Who does George's hair?

If you want to do this number properly, get Norma Jean and the The Grateful Dead together!

[231MasseyFerguson]

That's a good Pedal Steel player...

[matzchase]

In a little 26 years he's got 148 albums, cause he's the man!

[golfguy777]

He certainly is the Rolls Royce of country music. His voice is magical. Legend.

[splaskon2]

[moproducer]

@splaskon2 It's you. You're slightly off beat.

[smldfw]

When will peach jumpsuits come back?

[geohabe]

The Possum in his prime...great version of the great GJ...Thanks for posting!

[jeffkahl]

lol typical Canadian audience clapping on the "1". Brits do that too! anyways this is a great performance regardless of that!

[robeaton3]

WOW! the transition between the guitar and pedal steel solo's in this is so seamless!

[boseffis]

lol

[Spaz2708]

Sorry MothChild88 but it's the man that Jim Carrey imitates. In other words, Jim Carrey modeled his look after the Living Legend Mr. George Jones.

[mbrk6827]

what in the hell are you talking about?

[twistedlover30]

haha

[SoberGeorge]

Good stuff.

[hockeystickbd]

George Glenn Jones is simply the Best Country Singer out there. Barb

[CantonDrummer85]

this is great. i love sawyer browns version of this song

[ElHeffay1974]

LOVE IT!!!! I'll admit that I'm not the biggest country fan in the world, but I absolutely love this track. Now I understand why George Jones was one of my dad's favourites. I'm sure my dad is smiling right now because I'm listening to George.

[tashChing]

My dad and I used to listen to him when we would take long trips hauling potatoes together. He brings back amazing memories of my childhood.

[marctrainor]

You know what folks? This guys "middle name" is country music. I know there's people that don't like him, but to me he is the ipotomy of country music. As I've heard as I was growing up, and I now agree: There ain't nobody who can sing country music like George Jones. Marc Trainor.

[hookalakah]

Any idea who takes the guitar break? That guy could pick!

[highwayman012]

Now thats country music!Love Country and im only 13 love me some country

[captainmouk]

[biggern123]

Fantastic song ! It gets me in a really good mood. George Jones has the best voice of all male country singers, thats a fact.

[bearcub410]

this is real country not what they call it today .the best A+

[freelan45]

Whoa! Is that Merle Kilgore on lead?

[darkt3]

no its not

[jeffkahl]

yeah I had to do a double take too!

[natashaclaire]

Did the announcer say George Jones has 148 ALBUMNS to his credit!? Is that right? I think he meant to say songs, dang! Anyway, I like this song (and the 70s sideburns;-)

[UncleCaptainMidnight]

Love George! Why do white people clap on the 1 and 3? Who is the steel guitarist?

[md65000]

Why do blacks clap on 2 & 4? Who the hell cares?

[nexttpirhost]

LOVE IT!
