When I was about 5 years old, sometime back in the 80s, I lived near Nashville. We were going down the highway and we came up on a limo with "the possum" written on the side. The windows were tinted except for the front ones. We drove up past it and George Jones was driving it himself, he looked over and waved at me. Awesome thing. RIP No Show
George was so down to earth, just a good ol country boy. He wasn't full of himself and didn't really realize how special he was. He's always seemed like a favorite uncle to me.
He was certainly one of a kind, there will never be another like him, i think they threw the pattern away on him, he was so special and i don’t think he ever realized just how special he was.
I mean just think about it. His wife took the keys away so he couldn't drive the car, so he got on the little tractor to go get his fix. Come on, now that's 6, and true according to him
My favorite male vocal of ALL TIME!!! He and Patsy Cline were the most inspirational to me in my own lifetime of singing country. We were so very blessed to have had this mans music in our lives....REAL country music!!
So true what George was saying about the industry now, traditional country needs to make a comeback this pop country just ain't cutting it in the hearts of real country music fans
George Jones is and was the best Country singer that ever existed He in my eyes was the King of Country music he is a legend in his own right He could sing any song and make it sound great. I love some good Ol George Jones music He is and was the very best . R.I.P Mr. George Jones you will surely be missed by all
Amen. You said it all right here. I spent my younger years (decades of them) following this man's music ... his style, his overall being George Jones. I reached a point where others tried to talk me into attempting a career of my own. In my opinion tho, there was only room for ONE George Jones, and he was it. Tho duplicity has been attempted, I my opinion no one on earth could have the right to copycat his style and his work. I'm satisfied that many said I had mastered his style and sound. That was good enough for me. It did absolutely nothing for George Jones, but it meant much to me. God Bless and rest George Jones.
I was finally fortunate enough to see George Jones "live" back in April 2008, in Toronto Canada. One sellout show. He was 76 years young and sang as well as he ever did. One magical evening ! Greatest country singer of ALL time !
@@SuzyQ1956 It was like a dream come true. I had to see him "live" before either he passed away or I passed away.. He only played one show. He could have filled Toronto's Massey Hall for three night's, easily. Toronto is a large city of 3 million, just like Chicago.
CHEWWY We do still have country music, it's just not played on most country radio stations. Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Whitey Morgan, Jackson Taylor, Ward Davis are just a few of the new, real country artist. If you haven't heard any of these guys, I would highly recommend giving them a listen.
Kevin Shoemaker Exactly right! I’ve seen all these guys live and have their albums and know Jackson Taylor well and have followed his music for years. They’re all awesome and REAL!
Yes, Country music needs to get back to where it started! God Bless him. He explained it perfectly. I always loved George Jones! What a voice! Thanks for sharing this video 😊
Great Interview! George Jones is an Icon and a Legend. I was at the Opry for the 80 Birthday Celebration of George Jones in September 2011. There are still some artists “Keepin’ It Country” like Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Jamey Johnson, etc. The Music of George Jones will live on forever just like the Music of Hank Williams Senior.
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
It's been almost ten years now since George Jones passed, and I still really miss him. I love how he was always never afraid to speak his mind when it came to the state of country music. It makes me sad to think how upset he'd be about the direction mainstream country has gone in the last ten years, if he was still alive. It's only gotten much worse since he passed, I'm afraid. I really do wish most of the modern "country" singers would just create their own genre, maybe "southern pop," which is a much more accurate label for what they're doing.
I'm just curious how you felt about Hank Williams Jr. when he was contemporary. If I learned one thing from Ken Burns' documentary on Country music, music evolves with us.
It makes me sad as well, the fact that we are still talking about him is great. Music may evolve but most of today’s country is not country at all, I’m so glad we still have Alan Jackson, George Straight and of course Willie, I go see Dwight Yoakam every time he’s near me and he always does a special tribute to Merle, music can evolve forever but traditional classic country is the best, Ray Price was a good one.
My mother loves George, I enjoyed seeing him perform, he was definitely one of the greats. My mother still loves his music better than any other, who’s gonna fill their shoes indeed 😞
As a blind musician from Beaumont who loves country George Jones is a big source of inspiration for me. It's just sad I wasn't around to potentially have been able to work with him.
I understood what he meant. We can't bring these real country music singers back but we can keep their music alive. We are doing it now because we have RUclips. Radio stations are forgetting about them and the new artists are moving in and changing the way country music is supposed to sound. They are good singers but they don't need to be on the Grand Ole Opry stage or call their music county music. They need their own identity like George said. Call it something else. I'm thankful for RUclips and for people who are keeping real country music and our legends alive with channels like this one. ❤
@@thatgirlthatsme I will always listen to traditional country. ..or classic country..70s, 80s and most of the 1990s . still there are new artists who are singing the old traditional sound of country but sadly they are not the mainstream. These are a new generation of listeners calling themselves country fans when the sound they are listening to shouldn't be called country music as it has changed far too much from its original style. .so yes... Jones is right here. Call it something else.
George seemed a lovely guy and a beautiful man,with this great voice who loved singing so much and who just wanted to sing for the people as he enjoyed performing for the people the just loved him so much
The king of country...there will never be another George Jones...our wedding sing was walk through this world with me....I love the old country music...we do need to get it back.
Bless him ; thanks is not even enough; God-given talent , beautiful and unique style ..so many things... Never to be forgotten The great George Jones ♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️
He was one of the best, it's sad that real true country music is gone and the ones that made it all most gone, be a sad day when Hank Jr passes one of the last besides Alan Jackson
My wife and I got see him in Houston At the Arena Theater. My wife was concerned why we really couldn’t hear him. So they play the music lower they need to hear is amazing voice. He saying most of his big hit. Said that he’s going to record one more time. UnFortunately, he died 3. Months later. That was the best concert and I’m thankful we got to see it. RIP George Jones
He names "You Win Again" "Today I Started Loving You Again" "When I Call Your Name" as some of his favorite songs of all time. Vince must surely be proud to be included with Hank and Merle. "Country has lost its identity." -George Jones
George is right with the way he phrased our new country singers & pretty much laughing at them, without cutting them out, do what the old guys & gals did to make it...Make people remember who you are from your first tune...
So cool that George named Today I Started Loving You Again by Merle Haggard as one of his all-time favorites. I’ve always picked that song as one of my favorites as well. R.I.P. George. You were/are the best.
George is one of a kind. There'll never be another George. But that don't mean there will never be any more country music artist. I mean REAL country that George is talking about. There's no comparison to the real country music he is talking about to the new country music today. We all miss the real country music artist that when you turn the radio on you know who the artist is the minute you hear them sing. The kind of artist that becomes legends and are legends forever. Today it's hard to know who is who when you hear a new song on the radio. There's usually a lot more music than singing. The songs are more about who wrote it than what's it's saying. Some artist wollow their words around in their mouth so much that its a chore to have to listen closely to know what they are saying. I like listening to the words of a song and relating to it. I love the story type songs that leaves you something to think about. All this high pitched picking and singing gets on my nerves. I like some of it and respect all the new artist but I wish there could be both THE REAL AND THE NEW so all of us could enjoy country music as we know it.
Yeah! This stood out to me too. I started becoming shocked when he started naming off the #1 singles that Lefty put out 2 per side on 2 albums like dang he really knows his stuff and is a true fan himself. No wonder he is the greatest of all time
You learned real fast that you could make some real money playing at the Grand ole opry ! You had a career that left a legacy of great country music ! Your guitar was the greatest gift you could ever get that carried you a very long way & your talent & voice made you a country music legend ! You had a way with your voice that was very remarkable& really added to the quality of the songs that you sang ! I saw you at Hampton bay days festival in Hampton, Va . I won't ever forget it !
Everyone does stuff in there life that they wish they never did and they wish that they could take it back, All a person can do is own up to what they did and if they can fix it then fix it and if a person has hurt a person they need to go to that person and say sorry.
Well , he didn't get to see traditional country music come back before he passed away and it still hasn't changed. I agree with him on that . It's not that It's not good music , but it's just not country music . Just like when Elvis 1st started out he was a trendsetter and started out singing rock-n-roll . Which in my opinion Elvis Presley could sing anything. Country rock sounds a lot like what people use to call Rock- a- billy to me. Or maybe it just should come up with it's own name . Anyway...I got to see George Jones twice at Lanier Land in Ga. My step grandmother went one time to see him play and he really didn't show up . That was back when he got the name No Show Jones . LOL! I've grew up listening to his music and loved it and always will . He definitely will be missed . Thanks for sharing this great interview. RIP George
I listen to classic country on the radio. More and more stations are starting to program and promote the classics and that suits me just fine. Long live country music.
You stated in your video description that this is an interview from 1996... This is most certainly not 1996, it is much more recent. This is an interview from 2006. I just thought you may want to fix this misprint, but regardless this was great and I thank you for posting it! Always great to hear the Possum talk about the early days!
I'm off to listen to Hank's "You Win Again", "Today I Started Loving You Again" by Hag, and Vince Gill's "When I Call Your Name". If they're good enough for George they's good 'nuff for me.
To get back to real country music, we would have to resurrect all the wonderful singers that have passed on, plus, the younger generation of this era want the fast moving type songs, and never being brought up in the country music, that is truth, love, sadness, happiness, they don’t want this, they feel they have heard it all, but, until they come to a point in their lives where they need the lord, they need to listen to the music, And the life stories of the lives these singers sang about, before they made it in music, they sang about their lives and sorrows, until then I am afraid it will take a long time. The best is gone, so hopefully some day their memories will be brought back in others music.
Still blows my mind that he got to meet Hank when he was a kid. And how Hank couldn't have known that George would go on to become a legend himself, similar to the caliber to what Hank ended up becoming. And he never got to see it. And George very well had became a legend in part because of that advice Hank gave him.
I was Blessed to take my then girlfriend, my son and daughter-in-law to see him live on his 60th. birthday in Marion, Ohio. At tge time I had some 'inside influence' with the people who ran the event .... Photos were arranged, but George must have been 'celebrating his birthday' on the bus .... It didn't happen! Lol .... We never held it against him tho .... we took our seats and enjoyed the greatest country act ever. Other than having missed the opportunity to meet him, no regrets.
Wonderful analysis of a great musical talent. Very astute and brilliant use of the language to express yourself. Don't forget to let your daughter share in your brilliance . MORON. GAVONE
PURE country ! NEVER will be any comparison to George n country. Right with him is ole Waylan. Those two were always country. These screamin kids today are NOT country ! I would be thrilled beyond words for someone to Sing a real country song. Sure there are a few others. But these will always be the best !
It’s hard to go back in time, it’s hard to change history it’s hard to bring back some thing that has evolved into something else, but with some effort it can be sang and honored and immortalized till the end of time ; if only people will embrace musical roots , and the artists that brought them to us 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶⭐️♥️👍
Did beginners really feel uncomfortable when they "looked (George Jones) in the eye" and did he actually "make them nervous" even though he "didn't mean to"? I get the impression that most anyone would be comforted in the presence of George Jones rather than stressed out.
Love George, Waylon, Jonny, Conway, the Belemy Brothers.... check out their newer hit. So many good ones. I live in Mesa, Az. and go Mesa cemetery where Waylon is buried.
When I was about 5 years old, sometime back in the 80s, I lived near Nashville. We were going down the highway and we came up on a limo with "the possum" written on the side.

George Jones can take the hurt out of your heart and sing it back to you
George was so down to earth, just a good ol country boy. He wasn't full of himself and didn't really realize how special he was. He's always seemed like a favorite uncle to me.
He was certainly one of a kind, there will never be another like him, i think they threw the pattern away on him, he was so special and i don’t think he ever realized just how special he was.
They asked Johnny cash who his favorite singer was Johnny said you mean after George jones?
@Ernie H He certainly had his issues with alcohol. But he also made some transcendent music which will last in perpetuity.
I mean just think about it. His wife took the keys away so he couldn't drive the car, so he got on the little tractor to go get his fix. Come on, now that's 6, and true according to him
My favorite male vocal of ALL TIME!!! He and Patsy Cline were the most inspirational to me in my own lifetime of singing country. We were so very blessed to have had this mans music in our lives....REAL country music!!
George could sing a song like no other. A true country singer. Thanks for all the great recordings you left us with. Miss you Possum.
So true what George was saying about the industry now, traditional country needs to make a comeback this pop country just ain't cutting it in the hearts of real country music fans
Amen!!!
@@atfourothirtythree , well , that's all true . I just have a hard time trying to tell who is who . They all sound the same to me .
Matt Beeman exactly! You could tell it wasn’t some hired gun singing another mans songs!
And it never will.
Nobody can fill their shoes!
You.are.so.right
He was 100% spot on concerning the state of country music.
George Jones can never be replaced by anyone he was a legend of country music he will always be forever missed by so many
George Jones is and was the best Country singer that ever existed
He in my eyes was the King of Country music he is a legend in his own right
He could sing any song and make it sound great. I love some good Ol George Jones music
He is and was the very best .

Wish we still had country music
CHEWWY We do still have country music, it's just not played on most country radio stations. Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Whitey Morgan, Jackson Taylor, Ward Davis are just a few of the new, real country artist. If you haven't heard any of these guys, I would highly recommend giving them a listen.
Hey now, we got FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE!! 🤣🤣🤣😢🤦♂️
Kevin Shoemaker Exactly right! I’ve seen all these guys live and have their albums and know Jackson Taylor well and have followed his music for years. They’re all awesome and REAL!
Wish we still had a “country” ‼️🥴🇺🇸
You got that right my friend.
Yes, Country music needs to get back to where it started! God Bless him. He explained it perfectly. I always loved George Jones! What a voice! Thanks for sharing this video 😊
Hey how are you doing?
Waylon ….said if we all sounded like we wanted to we would all sound like George Jones.
Hey how are you doing..?
2023 still listening to real country 👍

Preach 🙌. Just love this man and his music. Such a loss for us. 💔

Jones is so much darker

God gave him THAT VOICE!!!
My mother loves George, I enjoyed seeing him perform, he was definitely one of the greats. My mother still loves his music better than any other, who’s gonna fill their shoes indeed 😞
Hey how are you doing…?
He will always be my favorite country singer.
i'll never stop watching old George no matter how much time passes
I will be listening to George sing everyday,until they put me in the ground.
The frank Sinatra of country music. Rip. Love this man.
As a blind musician from Beaumont who loves country George Jones is a big source of inspiration for me. It's just sad I wasn't around to potentially have been able to work with him.
You can't see but you sure can pick up tyler.
Wish country music was like this still today
Hey how are you doing today?
You are 100 per cent right George. There is no more country music.
Yeah, and he don't even have to show and the possum didn't show.
George Jones is gone, so is Merle, Hank, Waylon, Webb, Lefty, Patsy, Roy Clark and Conway. How the heck are we supposed bring back country?
I understood what he meant. We can't bring these real country music singers back but we can keep their music alive. We are doing it now because we have RUclips.

America is changing forever and it SUCKS. Real music is dead in the mainstream.
Who gonna fill george jones shoes. NO body rip George love you
alan jackson is someone who will carry country music on.
Shari Feigenbaum ..I agree! No one will ever compare!
Not even George Strait...... The Possum will always be number one!!!!🍻
If they would give Robert Bunton from n.c.a chance they may ne a little surprised
George seemed a lovely guy and a beautiful man,with this great voice who loved singing so much and who just wanted to sing for the people as he enjoyed performing for the people the just loved him so much

"we need to get country back"
Saw him in concert years ago he was fantastic
Hello how are you doing..?
There’s not a better country legend that ever lived!
I agree but george.strait had 56 no.1 hits.
There is one that comes close to george jones ,Remember RandiTravis?

Hey how are you doing today?
My grandfather played with Hank Williams, Sr. He was apart of The Drifting Cowboys. His name is, Richard Paul Dennis. RIP. Love George. God Bless.
I bet he had some stories
He has a great memory of alot of country music & singers love it
Yeah! This stood out to me too. I started becoming shocked when he started naming off the #1 singles that Lefty put out 2 per side on 2 albums like dang he really knows his stuff and is a true fan himself. No wonder he is the greatest of all time
R.I.P GEORGE.
He summed it up nicely. His music will touch hearts long after all of us are gone.

George was and is one of the greatest vocalists period
Greatest singer
WE NEED TO GET TRADITIONAL COUNTRY BACK. HE WAS RIGHT
Hey how are you doing..?
I listen to classic country on the radio. More and more stations are starting to program and promote the classics and that suits me just fine. Long live country music.
i love you George i will bring country music back
I loved George Jones he was number one.❤
The last time I saw him in concert is burned into my mind. I sure do miss him.
Rest In Heaven ~ see you there!
Oui, who`gonna fill their shoes? Personne ne remplacera George Jones, il est unique. Merci Tom de Lise
Hey how are you doing..?
🐐 George had the perfect country music voice
You stated in your video description that this is an interview from 1996... This is most certainly not 1996, it is much more recent. This is an interview from 2006. I just thought you may want to fix this misprint, but regardless this was great and I thank you for posting it! Always great to hear the Possum talk about the early days!
HERE HERE GEORGE!!!
Hello how are you doing today?
George Jones: American icon... Amen!
I'm off to listen to Hank's "You Win Again", "Today I Started Loving You Again" by Hag, and Vince Gill's "When I Call Your Name". If they're good enough for George they's good 'nuff for me.
Don't forget George strait, he had 56 no.1 hits
RIP you legend you are sorely missed!
I love love this man ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes George is right we need real country music back
Hey how are you doing..?
Awesome job on your sobriety, Mr. Jones.
And think' they called him "no show jones" and the people DID'NT CARE"
To get back to real country music, we would have to resurrect all the wonderful singers that have passed on, plus, the younger generation of this era want the fast moving type songs, and never being brought up in the country music, that is truth, love, sadness, happiness, they don’t want this, they feel they have heard it all, but, until they come to a point in their lives where they need the lord, they need to listen to the music, And the life stories of the lives these singers sang about, before they made it in music, they sang about their lives and sorrows, until then I am afraid it will take a long time. The best is gone, so hopefully some day their memories will be brought back in others music.
Hey how are you doing today?
Still blows my mind that he got to meet Hank when he was a kid.
And how Hank couldn't have known that George would go on to become a legend himself, similar to the caliber to what Hank ended up becoming. And he never got to see it.
And George very well had became a legend in part because of that advice Hank gave him.
❤❤ great interview !
Seen three of his concerts. The best
That interviewer shoud be a faith healer ! George was so smart !
Even George Jones a country singer agrees with my opinion that the music isn't what it used to be
I seen him 3 times he was so awesome, charming and warm especially after he married Nancy.
No one like George Jones! Love this giy and miss him.
Straight up legends one of my favorites
He was right. We need to make country, country again.
I was Blessed to take my then girlfriend, my son and daughter-in-law to see him live on his 60th. birthday in Marion, Ohio. At tge time I had some 'inside influence' with the people who ran the event .... Photos were arranged, but George must have been 'celebrating his birthday' on the bus .... It didn't happen! Lol .... We never held it against him tho .... we took our seats and enjoyed the greatest country act ever. Other than having missed the opportunity to meet him, no regrets.
George is my idle I love this man
A fucking Legend
Wonderful analysis of a great musical talent. Very astute and brilliant use of the language to express yourself. Don't forget to let your daughter share in your brilliance . MORON. GAVONE
@@murph3001 how’s this 🖕🖕
I love the fact that I got to see some of the best. Johnny cash...Merl haggard, waylon, Willy, and George Jones.
This man was the deal period 😎
You’re missed George
One Thing That George Had Was Talent.
PURE country ! NEVER will be any comparison to George n country. Right with him is ole Waylan. Those two were always country. These screamin kids today are NOT country ! I would be thrilled beyond words for someone to
Sing a real country song.
Sure there are a few others. But these will always be the best !
It’s hard to go back in time, it’s hard to change history it’s hard to bring back some thing that has evolved into something else, but with some effort it can be sang and honored and immortalized till the end of time ; if only people will embrace musical roots , and the artists that brought them to us 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶⭐️♥️👍
Did beginners really feel uncomfortable when they "looked (George Jones) in the eye" and did he actually "make them nervous" even though he "didn't mean to"? I get the impression that most anyone would be comforted in the presence of George Jones rather than stressed out.
I would've been nervous to play in front of George! he's my hero!
Imagine walking on stage to sing a Jones song and there's the man himself in the second row.
That's the definition of an "Oh 💩" moment.
love him♡
Legend, total legend.
Love George, Waylon, Jonny, Conway, the Belemy Brothers.... check out their newer hit. So many good ones. I live in Mesa, Az. and go Mesa cemetery where Waylon is buried.
George is correct. Country music of the old days r gone. And it’s sad. When he wrote who’s gonna fill there shoes. He knew then.
Traditional country music will never be what it was.
GJ is the best,and BC is the best interview person
He had his first recording in '54 in the living room , I was born in '51 haha !
Still doing time and choices artwork of my favs
