Should hear Alan Jackson sing this song at George Jones funeral.
There's a story I heard about this song. George Jones didn't want to record this song, but his label pressured him to do it. After laying down his vocals, he supposedly said "Ain't nobody gonna buy that morbid son of a bitch." It went on to became not only his biggest hit, but one of the most beloved and recognizable songs in country music.
They also had to do multiple takes and mash them together because he would break down crying while singing
You don't know gut-wrenching until you've heard this at an old friend's funeral.
That would .. yeah. - Keith
Widely considered the greatest country song of all time.
Also, it came out in 1980 when George’s career had tanked (They used to call him “No Show Jones” caused he’d get trashed and miss shows) and this song brought him back to the top.
He didn’t wanna record this song!! He said it was morbid
@@sharonburcham66 Exactly...he was given this song 6 YEARS earlier, he never liked it and said "Nobody is gonna' buy that morbid sob". He later was quoted as saying his career was salvaged in 3 minutes when he finally recorded HSLHT.
My favorite George Jones song is "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" and "The Grand Tour" is classic. Patsy Cline is the female OG of country music. Her song "Crazy" was written by Willie Nelson (another OG)
Added votes for all of those tunes -Dustin
Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes is amazing! I vote for this too.
"Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" is a classic, and most definitely should be listened to, even if they don't record their reactions to it. It is an ode to Country music and is never going to leave my playlist.
Great songs. The Grand Tour also reminds me of Hello Walls written by Willie and sung by Faron Young
Goerge didn't write this. It was written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam. This was voted the greatest country song ever written
Thanks for giving credit to the actual writers of this song. Braddock and Putnam were both dynamite lyricists and they couldn't have had anyone better to record it than George Jones, who did not want to record it because he said it was so damn sad that no one would buy it. This became his biggest record EVER..
Braddock and Putnam did not consider this to be one of their best songs; they had written for both “King George” and his ex wife Tammy Wynette, “The Queen of Country Music”, both individually and as a duet. The legendary Billy Sherrill produced both George and Tammy - and he was responsible for finally convincing George, who absolutely hated the song, to record it. At this point in his life, George had become an alcoholic/addict to the point that he gained the nickname “No-Show Jones” because of his chronic habit of standing his audiences up. He hadn’t had a hit in six years, and he was at the rock bottom of his career and his life. Billy Sherrill had huge problems getting George recorded; he showed up to sessions drunk, he flubbed the lyrics, he couldn’t remember the tune, and he slurred his words. Sherrill stuck with him, finally cutting and splicing the finished song together. Even then, George to Sherrill, “Nobody will buy this morbid son of a bitch.” During one session, Tammy coincidentally came into the studio where she sat in the sound booth talking to Sherrill, who later said that the timbre of Jones’s voice changed to the melancholic tone that made it famous. When it was released, it immediately shot to #1 on the charts, and King George, who had gotten his life straightened out, was back. He said his four decade career was saved by a three minute song.
That’s one of the greatest country songs ever written… Jones is as legit as it gets.
Undying and unconditional love is the noblest of all. Tragically wonderful
George Jones was in the hospital for a week before he died, never said a single word. Then suddenly he opened his eyes and said "Well hello there. I've been looking for you. My name's George Jones". Those were his last words.
That's not a moose on the bottle. That's a caribou, which is a reindeer. Notice the name of the bourbon is Caribou?? 😂
in my opinion, THIS is the epitome of a song about love's devotion, even in one-sided love. and i haven't even heard the video you made yet. i just love this song.
Little sad though.. - Keith
If it's storytelling you want, start with Travis Tritt "Anymore" next is his song "Tell me I was Dreaming" and last "If I Lost You" . It's also known as "The Trilogy" and you need all three videos to hear and see the whole story, in the above order, so it's best to react to "The Trilogy"
Votes added for those -Dustin
The first time i saw the videos your talking about was in the late 80s...i cried like a baby😉
@@michellesirois6954 me, too!😢
For me the steel guitar has such a haunting and beautiful sound. It's my favorite instrument of all
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the steel guitar. It brings me peace.
This song was recorded in1979 and released in April 14, 1980. One of George Jones greatest songs. You need to check out the one I loved back then( The corvette song) , and the grand tour both by George Jones.
Added votes to the list -Dustin
YES, this!
There’s a song called “White Lighting” by George Jones that’s a fun song.
Added a vote for that one -Dustin
This song is considered by many the best country song ever ..
Please react to El Paso or Big Iron by Marty Robbins
I've added votes for those -Dustin
Agreed about Laurence Welk. Back in the day, when there were ONLY three TV stations and only one TV in the house.... My parents tortured me, too.
This is my grandpa's favorite song. Anytime he hears it he says, "boy it's purty, but sad"... and yes, he says purty instead of pretty. LOL But this is the song he has listed to play at his funeral. He's always singing around the house. His go-to is Satin Sheets by Jeanne Pruett.
I say Purty too... or purrdy... I've added Satin Sheets to our list -Dustin
This is a classic. George Jones has so many hits. I'm glad you guys reacted to this.
I don't think you have reacted to it yet, but I suggest Seven Spanish Angels because it is a story song that is also a classic with Willy Nelson and the late Ray Charles. The live version is amazing.
We have a thirst for country OGs. Suggest away. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts Well, in that case, if you want a classic from one of the ladies of country music, You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man by Lorette Lynn. Anything by Dolly. A great story song is The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia by Reba, but I suggest the official video, because it plays out almost like a movie. Actually, a lot of Reba songs have videos that do that. But Seven Spanish Angels is just Willie and Ray Charles at a piano singing like the legends they are. And while some might argue it isn't country, Lady by Kenny Rogers is a must watch; the live version, where he sings it about ten days after it was released. It was written for him by Lionel Richie in 1980.
Added votes for all of those
Stay tuned for Reba's tune... it almost kill't me-Dustin
Undying and unconditional lovenis the noblest of all. Tragically wonderful
A legend country singer
So we've heard. And we can see why. - Keith
This song always makes me cry.
The George's are the absolute best!! George Strait and George Jones.
We want more requests for these OGs. - Keith
I enjoyed your repartee. You fellas rock!!
George and his label turned down the song when it was first offered to them. Some time later, it was offered to them again. His producers told the writers to make the song longer. That's where the talking verse came in... The greatest country song ever written.
George Jones-Korean War Marine
Whoa. I did not know that. Maybe sometime I'll tell the story of MSgt Elmer Chalmers.
Hard as f'n nails.
Semper Fi. - Keith.
I’m 59 this music is what I listened to and older music traditional the only way to go
The time limit on songs at the time were due to the play time of a 45prm record. A single was was always under 3 mins.
Dustin, you're too cute when you're pie-eyed! I was thinking if we all were on hubby and I's back patio listening to some tunes I'd be observing you and laughing my ars off!
That's an idea! Maybe you guys some do some outside fireside reaction videos. LOL!
Get the wives to video you two after 5 or 6 reactions. LOL!
Cheers boys!
A funny song you should check out is by conway twitty and loretta lynn - you're the reason our kids are ugly, but also check out Louisiana woman Mississippi man.
Kind of sad? It tears me up every time.
Also must listen to Kenny Rogers!!!

George did not write this. also, he did not want to Record it as he thought it was too morbid. they finally talked him into it, and it became maybe the biggest hit of his Carrer. this happened during the mid to 80s when country really went pop. and with this song he proved people still wanted to hear the original country. Greatest Country Song ever written and the Greatest Country Singer ever.
We had this played at my daddy’s funeral . He and my mom divorced for 35 years and never stopped loving each other . It was a beautiful relationship to watch . My daddy would play it on guitar and sing it to my momma . So before he passed away he called my mom and said two songs are for you 1 I will always love you by Dolly and 2 He stopped loving her today . He told her two days before he died . Biggest mistake was leaving you Kay , and marring Linda ( stepmonster ) . My mom never dated another man loved my daddy till we buried her . Now they are both in heaven together and StepMonster is still on Earth . How’s to show ya the Good Die Young and the ugly live forever
Wow. That's an amazing story. - Keith
Added a vote for I will always love you.
Lets not forget the torture of Sing Along With Mitch! Thank god for bonanza and gunsmoke to ease the pain
Should listen to George Jones's "who's going to fill their shoes"...."White lightning"..."I don't need your rocking chair" ❤️
Added votes for all of those tunes -Dustin
Hey guy's there was actually music before Queen, if you remember if you're old as I am back in the late 60's-70's Creedence Clearwater revival had the song I Heard it through the grapevine which was actually a 11-minute song one version the other version they had was about 5-6 min. But yes country radio I know back in those day's didn't want a song over 3-30mins. Long
It wasn't just country radio at that time. As far as I know, it was all genres. The radio stations were concerned about losing ad time to actual music. As stupid as that sounds, it's true. And a shame. Think of all the un-trimmed Beatles, Beach Boys, and other bands of the 60s and 70s that were constrained by that stupid un-written rule. - Keith
I loved Lawrence welk. Lol. Sorry. It was great. George Jones is a great story teller.
'One Woman Man' is my favorite George Jones song hope to see you react to it one day.
In my opinion the greatest song every written.
Lol my gram used to force us to watch that darn show. I hated it as much as it sounds like you did lol. Thanks for the memories ❤️
So many, too many Reactors, missed the whole message of this great classic.
This song put The Possum back on the Country charts…then became “the best Country and Western Song”. Thanks Guys.
Maybe the best but not the greatest country and western song that belongs to David Allen Coe. 😉
Must Listen to Conway Twitty!!!
That's my job ❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to Lay You down

Hello darling
Slow hand
It's only Make Believe
Don't cry Joni
Added those to the list -Dustin
Another one I've been waiting for! Wayda go, guys.
George Jones one ot the greats.Would love to see your reaction to Conway Twitty's " She Only Meant To Use Him". It tells a story. Til the next.😊
Added that tune to our list -Dustin
I listen to this music all through my childhood.. I'm
67 now. George was one of the best.
Thank you so much for doing the possum and I'll tell you flat out he would have loved the term barrel proof country the possum had him a little reputation for drinking and performing blown out of his and one of the best songs he ever did that could be described as barrel proof country was called White lightning cuz pappy made him some moonshine mighty mighty pleasing pappy's corn squeezins.
Dustin referring to this as "Barrel Proof Country" really resonated with me. - Keith
and a country song The violin is always called a fiddle
Gotta love you some George Jones. The quintessential country music voice. And yes, I remember Lawrence Welk. Of all the things I CANT forget right??? No Show Jones is a good one. Thanks guys. And btw, Conway Twitty is a good one as well! I learned some trivia with that tidbit tonight and now I've got to go watch some Family Guy!
Think y'all would like his song Choices because every word is the truth
George thought the song was too sad to be a hit. George was wrong. Big time.
I'd say the pedal steel at the beginning of Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" is that iconic country steel sound.
Conway has a ton of hits. Famous for his Conway "growl". "Hello Darlin' " may be his most popular. "That's My Job" hits home for a Dad.
Added votes for these OGs
You have to do george Jones- the one I loved back then
My mother absolutely loves Lawrence Welck. I was also forced to watch it with her. Couldn't stand it. Glad y'all are liking everything so far.
Not everything. But most things. - Keith
That’s my job by Conway twitty is another great one storytelling wise y’all should listen to Chris ledoux this cowboys hat
Added votes for both of those -Dustin
Enjoy your reactions! I got tickled thou...here in Tennessee, us country folk call them violins, fiddles. Lol! Most don't know, the main difference in sound is the height of the bridge. :-)
Wonderful reaction with great insights, I hope you check out more of George Jones music and maybe a news story or two. Reading about him is kinda entertaining with things like when he got a ticket for drunk driving when driving his lawn mower to the liquor store...
Guys, it wasn't the record producers it was the radio stations, they wanted songs of a certain length so they could program them and the commercials, so they had to keep the songs to a certain length to get airplay, until fm radio started taking off. Great reaction.
My favorite song
How can you be country and NEVER heard this song?!!!
The point of this channel would be that we didn't listen to country prior to starting it. - Keith
I like that Barrel proof country music I Think the the Possum would like it too
George Jones was married to Tammy Wynette and had some great songs together. You should check out Golden Ring and We're Gonna Hold on. And for a solo from Tammy Wynette Your good girl is ganna go bad.
I'm not sure we have a single Tammy Wynette request. Please drop specific requests. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts
Your good girl is ganna go bad
Women to women
Stand by your man
Added the Jones and the Wynette songs to the list -Dustin
Finally Friday is a fun George Jones. The dance remix is my favorite version.
Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman wrote this song along with many others. Time Marches On sung by Tracy Lawrence is another great one.
Added that one to the list -Dustin
MY Man❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love my Jones
My bribe will be on its way on Monday. I talked with the distillery today and they are sending it directly. I made sure they put the song info in there. I really enjoy your channel.
Awesome we look forward to it, we'll react to it as soon as Keith returns! -Dustin
Sounds good. I don't mind not remaining anonymous either way is fine. Enjoy!
Window up above is a great one by George Jones
You guys are so funny
Love it! Y’all are too funny!! I was asked to be a Crown Royal girl once. No! Lol
Just so you know, Deborah, you are officially our favorite viewer. Our ladies loved your gift. My wife fawns over your every word, and Dustin',s GF straight up "squeeed" over your gift.
"I love her." - my wife.
If we're ever in your state, we're going to look you up. Promise. - Keith
Actually Bobbie Gentry got airplay with a long song, Ode To Billy Joe, in the late sixties.What is interesting, is it is an intelligent song too.And sat at number one for weeks.
I know that song quite well, because it got airplay way beyond the sixties. - Keith
This song, and Vern Gosdin's "Chiseled in Stone" have been called the two saddest songs ever written.
I'll add it to the list -Dustin
great job guys. another great song is where have you gone by Alan Jackson
Added that one to the list -Dustin
My husband completed suicide in 2005 and this song is so dear to me-- there is so much meaning. The day I got his life insurance check in the mail, I went to the lake and played this for hours-- just completely numb
Steel Guitar sound ='s "Don Ho, an entertainer who defined popular perceptions of Hawaiian music in the 1960s and held fast to that image as a peerless Waikiki nightclub attraction". Wikipedia
For a good OG try Mac Davis, Baby don't get hooked on me. Are you going to stagger some OG songs into the lineup more or do you roll with most votes? Other than bribe songs moving to the top. Love to see some good mixture.
We currently do most votes and bribes... but maybe we need to do an OG day of the week, thoughts? -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts That would be cool. I'm just afraid the OG's wouldn't get enough votes to move very many up the line. Thanks again your channel is very unique and fun to watch.
Funny fact: After George was done recording this song. He said, “nobody’s gonna fucking listen to that piece of shit.” Boy was he wrong.
The corvette song is more of an uplifting song of George's. And who's gonna fill their shoes is a great one.
Added votes for those tunes -Dustin
Any creedance clearwater revival. Your chance to play a long song Alice's restaurant by Arlo Guthrie
Two Quick points, the animal on top of the Caribou Crossing Whisky is a Caribou, not a Moose. Cool creatures, definitely worth making a trip up north to hunt them in their annual migration. Secondly, it is distilled in Canada but bottled at the Buffalo Trace facility. It's not really a traditional Canadian whisky, but that isn't a bad thing. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thanks for the info, great to know! -Dustin
Since I don’t have a vast bourbon collection like Dustin, I’ve started pairing these videos with my favorite cigar and a small glass of whatever is left in the liquor cabinet.
The songs hit different with a good Monte Christo
Oh and by the way… I’m drinking Crown Royal… Peach 👍🏾🤣😎😂
Did you finish all of that devil's cut yet?
I’m 59 this is what I listen to the possum. Another good old song the window up above no one has reviewed this white lightning plenty of songs with Tammy Wynette his ex
I lie the lady vocalist covering the melody while George spoke the last verse. Some of my favorite George Jones songs are 'She's My Rock.' 'Golden Ring' (with Tammy Wynette) and the goofy, upbeat 'I'm a People."
Added votes for all of those tunes -Dustin
Johnny Paycheck - Colorado Kool-Aid... Good song that tells a funny story
Vote Added.
I remember the Lawrence Welk show. OMG! It was torture.
I have a bottle of every crown on the market today, and some that are no longer produced. EXCEPT the original, purple pouch crown. I hate it. So I totally agree with your penny wang comment.
I've heard a good bit about your collection, glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about the regular stuff -Dustin
There's a few songs before Queen that went longer than 3 minutes. Don McClain and Skynyrd come to mind. As for the Country Genre, that was controlled by Chet Adkins all through the '70's and early '80's. He's a big reason for the "Outlaw" movement.
Cuz he croaked...HA!! Well that is one way to put it :)
Thank you, I grew up in a house with George Jones. George was great in concert. Female O.G. Patsy Cline Crazy or I fall to pieces both great song. Oh good lord I remember Lawrence Welk, not at all the Led Zeppelin or AC/DC that I listened to. Quick question was that bottle full before you started? 🎵🎶🎉🎉🥃🥃
We'll never tell about that bottle :)
But I've added the votes for Patsy! -Dustin
You should hear Alan Jackson sing this at George Jones funeral.
You guys love old school county. How bout the most underrated country artist of all time Earl Thomas Conley. The live version of Holding her and loving you.
For a different side of George Jones,and as a car guy,You should check out The Corvette Song.But any song from "The Possum" is great.My personal favorite is Choices
Added a vote for that one -Dustin
I would recommend a couple of Conway Twitty songs-Don’t Cry Joni and Tight Fittin Jeans.
Added votes for those -Dustin

It's not a moose, it's a caribou.
A glass of cheap whiskey is better than a glass of no whiskey. I'm wondering if you gents have ever tried Booker's. It small batch that runs about 120 proof, is smooth fire and not even a little bit cheap
Yeah, we've had Booker's. If I recall correctly, we found it "ok." - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I'm a die hard bourbon lover, but also just a poor old fella. Just found your channel so have misses past episodes. Wouldn't mind any recommendations for your best "bang for the buck" bourbons...
RIP Mr Jones
