George Jones - He's Flown Away

[threebikesmcginty]

*Minority Interest Thread Alert*

For a man that lived a life in such a way as to make Ozzy Osborne look like a choir boy he did pretty well to make it to 81.

Another of the old guard shuffles off in 2/4 time to the Great Honky Tonk in the sky...

Not so much Tammy Wynette as Tammy? Why not?

How about this for a cool photo. My three favourite country artists - Louvin Brothers, Ernest Tubb and George...

I guess that not many will know who he is, even if a couple of songs are quite well known to people


He Stopped Loving her Today (Dwight Yoakhams excellent 'Johnsons Love' is very reminscent of this)



More people may know these 2 cover versions??

No show Jones
RIP
Hadn't heard he had passed away.

Although I was aware of a wild living country singer called George Jones, I wouldn't have been able to name a song he sung.

I've just listened to the Bob Harris Country Show (I do most weeks) - it's quite surprising just how many of his songs I do actually recognize.
