About the Book

"If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." - Waylon JenningsThis is the second in the "Legends of Country Music" series.This does for Country Music what "The Legends of Rock & Roll" series does for rock and roll. It is a mini-biography of one the great performers from Country Music, George Jones.George Jones has been called the greatest Country Music singer of all time.I have always loved every genre of music, but didn't get introduced to Country Music until the early Eighties. Once converted, I was a total country fan. This book is about George Jones, his life, his ups and his downs. It is a brief biography but I include all of the major points in the life of this great musician. But even more importantly, it's about the music. This series is my way of honoring the people that have brought so much joy to our lives over the years.This is an unauthorized fan tribute.Inside you'll find: Introduction - Remarks about George Jones in general and a kick-off for the book.Growing Up in Texas - Like so many before and after, George started with humble beginnings.Marriage Number One - George would be married four times, the first when he was just seventeen.Starday Records - The first record label that gave him his first big break.Marriage Number Two - After the disaster of marriage number one, he tries again."White Lightning" - His first number one hit.Melba Montgomery - George starts to become known for his duets with other performers.George Jones and Gene Pitney - Another collaborator was Gene Pitney.The Legend of the Lawn Mower - Did George really ride a lawn mower eight miles to town?
