RIP George Jones

George Jones was arguably the greatest Male Country singer ever. Hank Sr., Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard could also lay claim, but Jones was a stylist like no other.
In fact, I'd put him on a shortlist of All-Time singers in any genre.

In my own Country collection, Jones occupies space with Haggard and Willie among most albums owned by me of a Country act.

Pick up any Jones recording and you will be struck how Hard Country his voice was. He never crossed over, and stayed true to what he did best until the end.

"He Stopped Loving Her Tiday" is the masterpiece, but you have to hear "Grand Tour", "She Thinks I Still Care", or "Window Up Above" to get a feel for his vocal genius.
