    The term "White Lightning" - and the song - is about corn liquor, distilled in some clandestine location (in this case, "in North Carolina, way back in the hills"), commonly referred to as "moonshine".

    This song was written and originally released by JP "Big Bopper" Richardson Jr... Who famously died on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash, along with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens , and pilot Roger Peterson... The "Day the Music Died" was an event that was later immortalized by Don McLean's song, "American Pie"... The event was already etched in American history by those who remembered the headlines, but "American Pie" made sure future generations never forgot...
    George came along later and made a hit out of it...

      @@trentupchurch5414 Thanks for that info... I knew it was released later that year, but I didn't realize it was THAT close to the crash...Seems that "Bopper" may have seen/heard the "Possum" coming... Nice way to help his family financially... Especially since JP, like Buddy, left an expecting wife behind... Too bad Buddy's baby didn't make it...

    White Lightning is a corn liquor known also as Moonshine. There are of course all flavors now but back in those days they mainly made White Lightning aka (Mountain Dew). It's illegal liquor which is why it says in the song that all the people were looking for where he made his brew.

    The harmony is George Riddle. I dated his niece. They called them the two Georges. Riddle was an excellent song writer and singer. One of like 12 kids. The family is very musically inclined. Riddle was Jones's person that tried to keep him from drinking. That's why you hear no show with Jones. If you ever read this. You can sing. One of the list favorites is rissi Palmer

    Rumor says, it took about 70 takes to record that song, because Gorge was so drunk.
    In the final take there is still a mistake ("He took one sprrrlug, and he drank it right down"), but they let it in there, and George sang that third verse for the next 50 years like that! :)

    White lightning is liquor, corn or whatever it is distilled from. The next step to make it into whiskey or Bourbon would be to age it, in the case of Jack Daniels, and some others is storing it for years in charred oak barrels. The"possum" George Jones did good with this song, but I also like the original version by the man that wrote it, J P Richardson "The Big Bopper" who died in the plane crash that also took Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly.

    One of my favorite songs ever by George, and one I was known for back in 4th or 5th grade, after singing it in the school talent show. There is now way anyone would be allowed to do this song in grade school today, but in the late 70's life was a lot different. White lightening better known as Moonshine also referred to in the song as Mountain Dew, pure corn whiskey.

    Think Everclear... White Lightning was home made alcohol, which was a substitute to replace the newly banned commercially made alcohol at the beginning of Prohibition... There was a Constitutional amendment passed that banned the production, importation, sale and even possession of any alcoholic beverages. Look up "Prohibition" and you'll get all the background you could ever read in your lifetime.

    This funny song is about the crystal meth of its day, very popular in the hills. White Lightning can be 150 proof and it is chugged straight. So it's actually kind of sick since the hillbilly who cooks up the stuff is feeding it to his little boy. Talk about breaking bad! The guy who wrote it was DJ J.P. Richardson, the Big Bopper. Richardson died in a plane crash with rock 'n' roll star Buddy Holly shortly after writing this song for George Jones.

    Hey Britt, like redtick said white lighting is moonshine made back in the hills out of reach of the law if possible one of the strongest drinks of liquor you'll they try to calm it down to 100' proof but back then it was a pretty strong drink, George, as usual was George, he made great music although his career I would like to request a song by Vince Gill called "THE STRINGS THAT TIE YOU DOWN" thanks for the George Jones, song it was great

    George didn't write this song -- J.P. Richardson wrote it and recorded it as The Big Bopper -- but he did write songs early in his career.

    George Jones at this age reminds me of how Jim Carey looked on the movie Me,myself, and Irene

    Well,, to be honest honey, makin a stil in a dry County was against the law and this is what that song is about, and I'm sure you've found all of this out. If not, watch Andy Of Mayberry....hahahahahaaa!
    Anyways love your reactions to these Country fellows from that time period.
    Things were so different back then....

    Jerry Reed does good sounds, and a great story teller.
