I always said that to me, George Jones is Immortal. And he is. It is now our responsibility to carry on the legacy of this man. He sang the greatest country song of all time, inspired many great artists, kept me sane, introduced me to ‘White Lightning’ and got me through many a break up. So take a moment to remember and respect this great man, and take this opportunity to play your favourite George Jones song as loud as you can.
My thoughts are with every one of you who knew or worked with him. He had such an impact on my own life, even though I never met him. I can only imagine how those of you who knew him must feel.
There will be a special blog in George’s memory on Sunday.
I moved to America when I was 10; Lawton, Oklahoma to be precise. It was there that I fell in love with country music. My parents were fairly sure I'd grow out of it when we moved back to England, but that was 5 years ago now.
I'm fairly sure that I was born in the wrong decade. I like real country music, I agree with Merle Haggard when he said that he knew that Elvis was a real man because he could hear him breathe on his records. Classical music makes me feel like I should be a better person, but country music allows for flaws. I've been writing music since I was eight, and I can't make music like Merle Haggard or Elvis, but I'm working on it...
