"Bartender's Blues" is a song written by James Taylor and first released on his 1977 album JT. It was also released as the b-side of the lead single from JT, "Handy Man." It has since been covered by George Jones and other artists.
Baretender's Blues is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1978 on the Epic Records label. It was re-released on CD on the Razor & Tie label in 1996.
Sherrill employed his most contemporary production yet on Bartender's Blues, actually verging on soft rock in some places. The LP includes some of the most blatantly lascivious material that Jones had ever recorded, such as the suggestive "Leaving Love All Over The Place" and the sensual "Ain't Your Memory Got No Pride at All." Jones's contemporary and friend Merle Haggard had also recorded the latter on his 1977 album Ramblin' Fever.
George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last twenty years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer.

[@KentuckyWindage22]

I grew up being forced to listen to George, so I never really had an appreciation for his music. But now that I am older and more open-minded about music I have gained tremendous respect for George Jones' music. He truly is one of the greatest.

[@jamessanders9955]

Me too

[@rickyd0821]

Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved."

[@rickyd0821]

They were having a little harmony fun there. :)

[@murph3001]

Brilliant vocalist

[@superchef78]

2:05 - the timing between George and whoever he was harmonizing with was great on “tonk”. It was perfectly in sync.

[@JC-tr8eh]

I like the one on “little George”

[@superchef78]
