George Jones

About

George Jones is a country music singer/songwriter from Vidor, Texas who, over the past 20 years, has often been referred to as the "greatest living country singer." Despite having a tumultuous life marked by periods of rather public displays of alcoholism, Jones managed to siphon the great emotions he felt throughout his life into music that is almost universally praised as some of the best contributions to the country music songbook ever written. Not letting his past get the better of him, George Jones found stability in his life in the 1980s, which began a whole new creative period for the songwriter that continues to this day.
