  3. GEORGE JONES
    Country And Western #1 Male Singer
    Year Unknown U.S. reissue

    A sleepy, quiet Tuesday morning with an absolute legend.

    This reissue is an abridged version of the original 1964 album, as it leaves off both “Maybe Little Baby” and “New Baby For Christmas”.
    Which is fine, as they’re probably the worst two songs on the album.

    ALL George Jones friggin rules, but I lean more towards the 50s and 60s George with the flat-top hair than I do late 60s and 70s “possum” long hair George, even though his later period is recognized as having some of the greatest recordings of his career.

    I love it all, but “Boy Scout George” is where I started as a kid, so there’s more of a sentimental attachment to that stuff.

    Can’t go wrong with ANY George though.

  4. "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" is a song written by #KyeFleming and #DennisMorgan, and recorded by American #countryMusic artist Barbara Mandrell. It was released in April 1981 as the lead single from the album #BarbaraMandrellLive. It featured an uncredited guest appearance by country artist #GeorgeJones. The song reached number one on the U.S. #Billboard #HotCountrySingles chart in July 1981 and peaked at #14 on the Canadian #RPM Country Tracks chart.

  5. "The Race Is On" is a song written by Don Rollins (not to be confused with the Don Rollins who co-wrote "#ItsFiveOClockSomewhere" for Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett) and made a hit on the #countryMusic charts by #GeorgeJones and on the #pop and #easyListeningCharts by the unrelated #JackJones. George Jones's version was the first single released from his 1965 album of the same name. Released as a single in September 1964.

  7. Huge thanks to whoever gave me this link to when Curt and Cris from the Meat Puppets played acoustic songs on Tempe, Arizona radio station KUKQ in 1990 (so young - only a band for about 10 years at this point, but still, preparing to play with Peter Murphy).

    They do a few songs with a mini interview - the first song is an instrumental version of a song they'd later record with lyrics, 'That's How It Goes' that Curt had JUST written, it didn't even have a title at that point- and he plays it on a 12 string he wasn't even familiar with. Just fuckin awesome. Then they do 'Plateau', 'One of These Days', 'If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time' (the interview) and 'Candy Hearts', a George Jones cover. And the host Jonathan mentions a Smithereens CD at the end! Epic.

  8. I was reminded of the song "He Stopped Loving Her Today" this evening as will happen now and then.

    If you're unfamiliar with the song, please pull up a rendition, preferably by #GeorgeJones, *read nothing about it first,* and give it a good listen.

    You're welcome.

    (Not a #CountryMusic fan but good #SongWriting is good songwriting.)

  9. "Running Bear" is a #teenageTragedySong written by Jiles Perry Richardson (a.k.a. #theBigBopper) and sung most famously by #JohnnyPreston in 1959. The 1959 recording featured background vocals by #GeorgeJones and the session's producer Bill Hall, who provided the "#Indian #chanting" of "uga-uga" during the three verses, as well as the "Indian war cries" at the start and end of the record.
