Charlie Greene - Dead Man's Cattle Call - George Jones - We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds

Описание: George Jones Country Gold Dog Food was my introduction to the man who might be the greatest damn singer ever. We bred big dogs on our property in Atlanta. Briards, Boxers, St. Bernards... Big dogs. I remember the bags with his smiling face inside a gold record. I thought he had his silvery-blond hair flopping down over his ears like that because it made it look like he had dog ears but I don't think that was the reason if there was a reason.
I've been too intimidated to do one of these tributes to him because of how much love and respect i have for his singing so i chose to do a duet so i could spread some of the blame around. That's my friend Mimi Michel singing the Melba Montgomery part so beautifully.
From reading about George and the stories I've heard from friends who got to work with him he seems to have been a very difficult man to understand, but all the music he left us paints a very clear and powerful picture of desire and pain and longing and love. Nick Tosches described him as "a man whose unequivocal soulfulness abided beneath an inert mind." While this may not be the most flattering description, it is great writing.
George, you are as good as music gets and as great an inspiration as a singer could hope to have. For this, we pay tribute...

Thanks to Mark Lane, David Henning, Jason Soda, Stephen Patt, Mustang, C. Foam, Miranda Penn Turin, Chad Brown, Michael Parnin and Mimi Michel...
