 GEORGE JONES | Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum | Nashville, Tennessee
Jones launched his recording career in East Texas in the early 1950s, and as of the start of the twenty-first century he was still going strong.
The fact that Jones himself has changed little over the years, and at times seems to be genuinely bewildered by the immensity of his own talent and the acclaim it has brought him, have merely enhanced his credibility.
In the 1960s Jones recorded for the United Artists and Musicor labels and the hits continued, though his style had begun to mellow and season somewhat from the jittery honky-tonk of “Why, Baby, Why” and the handful of rockabilly sides that Jones reluctantly cut in 1956, under the pseudonym Thumper Jones.

George Jones: Live Recordings from the Louisiana Hayride, available March 9th from Scena Records (Emergent/RED) provides a wealth of previously unavailable concert recordings from early in the career of the greatest country singer of all-time.
Jones performed six numbers that February night, including three of his all-time most popular songs: "White Lightning," his first #1 from 1959; "The Race Is On," a #3 from 1964; and "She Thinks I Still Care," his third #1, from 1962.
When Jones returned to the Municipal Auditorium in February 1969, it was just two weeks before his impending marriage to new wife Tammy Wynette, and as he sang his 1967 #1 hit "Walk Through This World with Me," that romantic song must have had special meaning for him.

 Salon Brilliant Careers | George Jones   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Jones, unlike his idol Hank Williams, who died at 29, has had plenty of it under his belt, and while it's never a good idea to assume that anything a singer performs is necessarily autobiographical, there's just no way to listen to Jones' singing and not hear his life written in it.
The accident was a wake-up call of sorts, not just to Jones himself but to his fans -- a reminder that the artists we love best rarely behave as we'd like them to, sometimes almost willfully refusing to live lives that keep them safe and happy and productive.
Jones was born in Saratoga, Texas, near Beaumont, in 1931, himself the son of a temperamental drinking man. As with so many country musicians, the story of his impoverished childhood is bound tight with his love for music.
