They come no more old school Nashville cool than George Jones. His voice is beautifully tarnished gold, a lived-in thing even when young, and starting in the 1970s, the man developed the world’s most astounding sideburns EVER, a follicle rival for Burt Reynolds’ mojo in the same era (and by all reports George was as big a wild man during his drinkin’ & druggin’ days as anyone in that hedonistic decade). George Jones turns 80-years-old next Monday, September 12. Radio station WSM will be celebrating online all-day with Jones classics every hour 12 midnight – 7 p.m., listener birthday greetings and requests throughout the day, and a special edition of “The Eddie Stubbs Show†at 7 pm – midnight featuring nothing but George Jones recordings. We’ll be tuning in, and to get y’all in the right mood here’s some vintage Jones.

That HONKY could sang. The only thing he did better than sang was not missing oak trees. Thanks for posting D!
