George Jones: The Possum’s Grand Tour — From “White Lightning” to the Saddest Song Ever Sung

Описание: Pull up a chair—this is the true, plain-spoken story of George Jones. From a barefoot Texas kid to Opry royalty; from “White Lightning” (1959) to “She Thinks I Still Care” (1962), and the mountaintop moment of “He Stopped Loving Her Today” (1980). We walk through the Tammy years, the “No Show Jones” storms, the infamous lawnmower run, the 1999 wreck that sparked sobriety, and the legacy that still sets the bar for every country singer with a sorrow to tell. If you love classic country told with heart, like/subscribe/share—we’ve got the porch light on.
