Oh,,,,sad to hear.....damn.....rocking and rollicking....Possum was true country !!!!!!



Play'n Jones all day on Pandora.............damn fine country music.

Who is George Jones?

I will be a little sadder than normal today. What a voice!

Well hell Meerschaum, you need some G Jones ass kicking rocking country to cheer you up....

Well, he really is a no-show now.

He stopped lovin her today.

thanks for the beer drinkin music Possum.

the guy was a badass...... got a DUI once on a riding lawn mower

how else can you have a country music epiphany and come up with the lyrics to a hit song ?

get drunker than shit, hop on the riding lawnmower and take off to the beer store

A genuine minstrel from life's hardscrabble; unlike today's Julliard trained American Idol wanna be's that are corporate brands...............

He was country when country wasn't cool

A true CW legend! RIP

yes a legend like no other! RIP!

A great Alan Jackson cover of Blues Man by GJ...........




He's just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He's not a walk behinder
He's a new note finder
His name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So he started drinking and took somethings
That messed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was born in the spot light not to much left inside
She changed all that one night
When she sang him this song

Hey baby I love you
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
Your some kind of macho man
You wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on the blues man

He got so sick of speeding all things
They said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads
He got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old down off of that blues man

And he sang
Hey baby I love you to
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now i
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man.

Wow. The great ones are leaving us. What a unique talent, country music won't be the same.
