  • Here's some cool footage I acquired of George Jones with a KILLER band: Johnny Paycheck on bass, Charlie Justice on fiddle, Jack Watkins on guitar, Sonny Curtis on steel, and Arnie Adams on drums.

    Tales From The Tour bus brought me here. I grew up on hard funk, rap and r&b but am slowly beginning to appreciate the charm, instrumentation and narrative of Country Music.

    Thanks Amber, I'm a huge Johnny and George fan, and so this is just phenomenal.
    And why Johnny still isn't in the CMHF is just a shame and a crime.

    Look how young he and Johnny were! When I visited George's grave 3 or 4 years back, I was touched to see Johnny buried just a few feet down from George. From what I understand, Johnny died pretty much pennyless, and George paid for his funeral and burial. So I was happy to see that Possum is keeping him close by.

    A totally great performance. They make it look easy, but in fact it's extremely hard to achieve that kind of wonderfully confident and harmonious musicianship. These guys were really, really good. Nobody writes songs or plays like this anymore, too bad. I don't know if George ever had a better partner than Johnny Paycheck.
