One of George's nicknames was the "Possum"... And yes, opossums are quite unruly... Just like "No Show Jones" when he was drinking... Also check out the two guys who were on stage with him... Mark Chesnutt, I recommend "Thank God For Believers" or "Let it Rain" and Tracy Lawrence, I recommend "Sticks and Stones" or "Alibis"... These, OFC, are just two songs from each of these phenomenal artists, and they each have many more to offer...
🔥🔥🔥🎼💙🎼🔥🔥🔥 .. so cool. Yeepp , Mr. George Jones has had the nickname " the opossum " for many years. He proudly calls himself the opossum... he is such a great performer .. love this one !! 💙💙💙💙💙 Country Music !
You need to watch the full version he did in the studio, a lot of the hot younger stars showed up to sing one line. Vince Gill, Travis Tritt, Mark Chestnut, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie, Garth Brooks, etc.
I enjoy your reactions all the time! I hadn't realized all of the George Jones you had done! My grandfather was born in 42' and' passed in 19'. George was his favorite singer. Dressed just like George a plaid button up, blue jeans, the side burns and a wrist watch everyday. My grandpa gave me the nickname. I am 34 and have been called possum by my whole family for about 32 of those years. Lol. Not til i was about 7 or 8 did I make the connection, and I have loved george ever since, had the honor to see him live in 03. Glad to see someone else, a lady especially of our age enjoy, and appreciate the raw and real. Keep it up! Great content!
Neon in his veins - from the lights of the clubs he’s playing in. Keep rollin’ with ‘Ol George lady, he’s the undisputed greatest in my opinion. Good vids!!
George jones better know as " the possum " is the greatest country singer of all time , it was truly a sad sad day when he passed 😢, and yes your right no one and I mean no one does thst deep voice like him , he is and always will be my favorite singer of all time
In 1999, the CMA Awards invited George Jones to play his new song he had just put out, "Choices", but then, they came back and asked him to cut his act and just play a snipet of the song. so George just decided that wasn't worth his time... When Alan Jackson heard about this, He was upset about it too... He was playing his latest hit at the time, "Pop a Top" (The whole version) when he suddenly stopped the song, and sang part of George's song, "Choices" instead... This angered the powers that be at the CMAs, but Alan got a standing ovation from the crowd... Including all the other country stars who understood exactly what was going on... George was genuinely touched. Here is a link of the incident, at the 1999 CMA Awards Show... th-cam.com/video/tJVp6FM0aH0/w-d-xo.html
George Jones did this song in response to being removed as a duet partner with Dolly Parton for her song "Rockin' Years'. They went with the much younger Ricky Van Shelton. Jones was pissed because he was waiting on the call to start recording it. So this song was his response. At least that was the news back when it came out. I personally love both songs and felt bad for George Jones. I saw an interview with Dolly and she stated that her record company told her George Jones turned it down (which he denied doing) so she went with Ricky instead. She said it was a miscommunication. I think it was the record label's doing. I can't imagine Dolly asking him to duet with her then cutting him out and using someone else. She has too much class for that.
This was a revenge song. He was in talks with Reba's people about doing ROCKING YEARS with her, But after it came out with another male singer, he hit back with this.
Both of his guests had very good country careers and are still performing. George's nickname was the Possum. He also was known as no show Jones in his younger days for his habit of blowing off shows because he was in a bar. For a good laugh and more of George's vocal gymnastics, find a version of him singing White Lightnin'. Also Britt, I have someone new for you. Her name is Gretchen Wilson and I am leaving a link to her music video of Red Neck Woman. Great song. Enjoy!! th-cam.com/video/82dDnv9zeLs/w-d-xo.html
"Neon in my veins..." is a beloved country music reference to the night life and good ol' honky tonk saloons! Another example just off the top of my head is a line from a Merle Haggard song, Swingin' Doors: "My new home has a flashin' neon sign." It's a about a guy who gave up his home to his now-ex-wife in a divorce. So he spends all his nights in a honky tonk with swingin' doors and a flashing neon sign." If you're not hip to the "swingin' doors" reference, just think back to scenes of the town saloon in cowboy movies when the hero pushes the swinging doors apart as he steps into the saloon and a hush falls over the crowd because they know he's there to do "business" with a bad guy. LOL
The week George Jones passed I went to karaoke reminded everyone that he passed by doing "who's gonna fill their shoes", then every guy and 1 woman did George Jones songs for the rest of the round. There were 3 women that did not do any of his songs.
You need to hear Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes. Also Mark Chestnutt with Too Cold At Home and ‼️anything‼️ Tracy Lawrence! ♥️♥️♥️ Yes and it’s ‘neon’ in his veins, as in honky tonk neon. R.I.P. Possum.
The Ole Possum ... Britt, you've absolutely got to check him out as a young man when he was first becoming a star. In all of these he is much much older. Check out the black-and-white video of White Lightning, an early hit of his.
This was co written by Billy Yates for George, Billy also wrote George's song "Choices". Since George's passing Billy has come into his own as a performer. I recommend "MFC Momma's Fried Chicken" or if you like something more serious "Flowers" is a good choice.
Yes, l agree with last comment. You love George, you will definitely love Conway Twitty. Conway sang to us Ladies & has the sexiest voice in Country Music along with Marty Robbins. Like George, Conway has a long list of hits. My favorite Conway song is "You've never been this far before". But any Conway song is great. If you do the live version of "Hello Darlin' " the audience response will drown out him saying, Hello Darlin'. I'm pretty sure that clip is taken from a show called "Hee Haw". There are many clips from that show of singers performing on yt. Other songs people will ask for is; "lt's only make believe" "I'd still love to lay you down" "That's my job" "Tight fittin' Jeans" And many, many more. Also ask you to listen to the duets he made with Loretta Lynn. 1st song should be " Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn & Marty Robbins ARE COUNTRY ROYALTY & LEGENDS. It would & will take you forever to listen to all their songs. And l only mentioned 5 artist. So many other greats. Have fun traveling down the road into Country Music. RIP to the 5 l mentioned. I miss them all so much & they can never be replaced!
Country music was king in the 90’s. Best time in country music ever in my opinion! I have a memory that still stands out to this day to me. I was walking Thru West Towne Mall in Knoxville, shopping a little, seeing the sights…lol Don’t remember the year, but this song started playing over the speakers thru the mall..I don’t know why, but it stood out to me then and the memory still does, the mall was packed as usual and I’d bet a paycheck that 95% of the folks were singing along and be-bopping in their own way. Not caring, just enjoying this song….Kids to old folks, all were singing along without a care in the world…That wouldn’t happen today with the crap they call country! This video was made in 1993, Knoxville, Tn. At the Civic Coliseum. I was there, not long out of the Army! Great, great concert! Best country one I’ve seen…The whole concert was taped! My mammaw got to go see it as well before she died. She loved her some George Jones! East Tennessean here born and raised! George and Tammy first met in Knoxville and sang together. George’s last concert before he died was in Knoxville! He said Knoxville had a special place in his heart! RIP possum!!
For an amazing duet I suggest Clint Black and his wife Lisa Hartman Black doing his song "When I Said I Do" My husband and I play this every anniversary
George Jones' nickname was the Possum. Because his facial features kinda looked like a Possum, with his small eyes close together. Especially with his buzzcut.
He was and still is an Icon, He's the Original OG,He was so loved by his Country Music Family and Fan's that when he passed away they Televised his Memorial Service on TV it was 2 hours or longer I can't remember, I've 2 brain surgeries sorry, but anyway, you heard him mention opossum, well that was the name they called him,He'll definitely be missed, R.I.P. Opossum, Thank you sweetheart for your reaction and I hope you have a blessed day 🙏 sending you love from Lafayette Georgia 🙏 🍑
Those 2 boys are Mark Chesnut and Tracy Lawrence both from Beaumont Texas and had several country music hits of their own, where George was a Radio DJ before his singing career took off. He was a huge influence in the area long after his DJ days.
This man is known by many names 1 being The possum because he had almost drank himself to death several times, also known as NO SHOW JONES , because of drinking too much to make it to the show. Still one of the legends of country music . An Eskimo needs a Frigidaire , like I need your rockin’ chair. Love it ❤❤❤
A family friend, years and years ago, was working security at an event in Louisville KY. She saw someone cutting donuts in the parking lot and called the cops. Turned out it was George cutting up before a concert. He didn't make it to said concert, lol.
He's saying he has neon in his veins everyone knows George, did a little drinking in his day's, hey Britt, try listening to George Jones, singing "SOMEDAY MY DAY WILL COME" LIVE GOOD SONG, THANKS
Number one The 2 singers that came on stage was Tracy Lawrence and mark chestnut.. Number two, possum was his nickname. And the biggest one was, oh God. It must have been easy 20 years ago. Now. A new country singer was being interviewed after a decent start in country music. And he said the old country. Guys, that are still out here touring. And all that need to just retire and leave it to us, younger people. They can retire, said at home, sitting on the front porch in a rock and chair, and just enjoy life. That is where this song came from.... PS oh yeah, by the way, I can't remember his name. Country music blast at him. He still had concerts but nobody will show up country Fans Wouldn't buy music radio stations finally quit playing It. And nobody go to Sam. He was more or less checked His ass out of country music
This is so great and so much fun! :) And... George never needed a rockin' chair. Stood on stage till the end, wasn't even abel to finish his farewell-tour. :( The guys who helped him out at the end of the song are Mrk Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence. Great singers too! :)
Great reaction to a great song and artist. The line about the possum in a cage is because one of his nicknames is "the possum", and the line about the new corvette is because he's got a song "The Corvette Song".
The man playing bass on George’s right is Ron gattis he does a crazy good George jones impression. I had the pleasure of playing a couple small shows with Ron hes great.
One of George's nicknames was the "Possum"... And yes, opossums are quite unruly... Just like "No Show Jones" when he was drinking...
Also check out the two guys who were on stage with him... Mark Chesnutt, I recommend "Thank God For Believers" or "Let it Rain" and Tracy Lawrence, I recommend "Sticks and Stones" or "Alibis"... These, OFC, are just two songs from each of these phenomenal artists, and they each have many more to offer...
Not trying to correct you but he got the nickname possum for his close set eyes and turned up nose.
They called him Opossum back then because like an opossum plays dead, he would play sick, really drunk, hence the name also " No Show Jones".
🔥🔥🔥🎼💙🎼🔥🔥🔥 .. so cool. Yeepp , Mr. George Jones has had the nickname " the opossum " for many years. He proudly calls himself the opossum... he is such a great performer .. love this one !! 💙💙💙💙💙 Country Music !
Miss Britt, you will never grow old. Just keep listening to George Jones.
George is one of the greatest country artists of all time!
You need to watch the full version he did in the studio, a lot of the hot younger stars showed up to sing one line. Vince Gill, Travis Tritt, Mark Chestnut, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie, Garth Brooks, etc.
Miss Mark, Tracy and Joe (RIP) on the music charts 😢
I enjoy your reactions all the time! I hadn't realized all of the George Jones you had done! My grandfather was born in 42' and' passed in 19'. George was his favorite singer.

Neon in his veins - from the lights of the clubs he’s playing in. Keep rollin’ with ‘Ol George lady, he’s the undisputed greatest in my opinion. Good vids!!
So good to see George being appreciated. He had it all.
George jones better know as " the possum " is the greatest country singer of all time , it was truly a sad sad day when he passed 😢, and yes your right no one and I mean no one does thst deep voice like him , he is and always will be my favorite singer of all time

Here is a link of the incident, at the 1999 CMA Awards Show... th-cam.com/video/tJVp6FM0aH0/w-d-xo.html
Should also include the video of Alan Jackson on that talk show on TNT the next night talking about it, and George Jones calling in.
That was my favorite thing about him too, but didn’t realize it until you said it 👊🏽
George Jones did this song in response to being removed as a duet partner with Dolly Parton for her song "Rockin' Years'. They went with the much younger Ricky Van Shelton. Jones was pissed because he was waiting on the call to start recording it. So this song was his response. At least that was the news back when it came out. I personally love both songs and felt bad for George Jones. I saw an interview with Dolly and she stated that her record company told her George Jones turned it down (which he denied doing) so she went with Ricky instead. She said it was a miscommunication. I think it was the record label's doing. I can't imagine Dolly asking him to duet with her then cutting him out and using someone else. She has too much class for that.
They released the "Rocking Years" version as a Dolly/George-duet on George's "Burn your playhouse down"-album in 2008.
I love Rocking Chair with Dolly and Ricky Van Shelton. He has such a smooth voice. Would make a good funeral song. Maybe mine.
The two younger guys are Mark Chestnut & Tracy Lawrence Both stars in their own rite
I watch a LOT of reactions, but yours are by FAR the BEST!
Tracey Lawrence was one of the guys singing along & speaking of rocking chairs, you would love his song, "If the World Had a Front Porch".
This was a revenge song. He was in talks with Reba's people about doing ROCKING YEARS with her, But after it came out with another male singer, he hit back with this.
That growling he does is what makes him legend.
I was at that concert. It was wonderful.
"Neon is his veins" Neon was the liquid gas in stage lights that may them fluid and moving.
Both of his guests had very good country careers and are still performing. George's nickname was the Possum. He also was known as no show Jones in his younger days for his habit of blowing off shows because he was in a bar.

Yes! Yes! Yes! 🔥 🔥 🔥 this is a great reaction!

Mark Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence are singing with George at the end. Mark Chesnutt has a good hit to react to "Too Cold at Home"
I was there at the concert when this was filmed it was the first time he sang it in public it was in Calhoun Georgia
You need to hear Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes. Also Mark Chestnutt with Too Cold At Home and ‼️anything‼️ Tracy Lawrence! ♥️♥️♥️
Yes and it’s ‘neon’ in his veins, as in honky tonk neon. R.I.P. Possum.
You see how much they love him. He has a sweet song called, Who's gonna fill their shoes. But ?ake sure you watch the video
The Ole Possum ...
Britt, you've absolutely got to check him out as a young man when he was first becoming a star. In all of these he is much much older. Check out the black-and-white video of White Lightning, an early hit of his.
Yes he says “I got a little neon in my veins”
You should definitely do Tracey Lawrence and Mark Chesnut reactions. They were big in the 90s and had great songs that you would enjoy
Two of my favorites, for sure! "Today's Lonely Fool" by Tracy and "Too Cold At Home" by Mark are good places to start.
@@chrisdutton2975 most definitely. And go from there
Britt would probably get a kick out of "Bubba Shot the Jukebox" by Mark Chesnut. Definitely an entertaining story!
This was co written by Billy Yates for George, Billy also wrote George's song "Choices". Since George's passing Billy has come into his own as a performer. I recommend "MFC Momma's Fried Chicken" or if you like something more serious "Flowers" is a good choice.
When he says. "Cant keep this possum in a cage" Its becasue his nickname for years was " The Possum"
Yes, l agree with last comment. You love George, you will definitely love Conway Twitty. Conway sang to us Ladies & has the sexiest voice in Country Music along with Marty Robbins.

Merle Haggard and George are close friends and Merle has a legend deep voice the same way George uses his.
That was Mark Chestnut an Tracy Lawrence. Both epic 90s neo tradition country stars
George's club in Colmesneil, Texas was called "Possum Holler".
Mark Chustnut - Too Cold at Home (Mark was discovered and mentored by George)
Tracy Lawrence - If the World Has a Front Porch
Thank you for loving George Jones
I got to see him in concert
George was one of my favorite Texas singer
I love having a rocking chair too. Just glad I don’t need one (yet).
Country music was king in the 90’s. Best time in country music ever in my opinion! I have a memory that still stands out to this day to me.

I love the George journey.
Must Journeys!
Waylon Jennings

George Jones' nickname was the Possum.
Because his facial features kinda looked like a Possum, with his small eyes close together. Especially with his buzzcut.
A little neon in my veins, party life neon lights.
That reference to a possum has a lot of meaning here. In years gone by he was known as "The Possum." For reasons I shouldn't say out loud, lol.
He was and still is an Icon, He's the Original OG,He was so loved by his Country Music Family and Fan's that when he passed away they Televised his Memorial Service on TV it was 2 hours or longer I can't remember, I've 2 brain surgeries sorry, but anyway, you heard him mention opossum, well that was the name they called him,He'll definitely be missed, R.I.P.

Those 2 boys are Mark Chesnut and Tracy Lawrence both from Beaumont Texas and had several country music hits of their own, where George was a Radio DJ before his singing career took off. He was a huge influence in the area long after his DJ days.
Best song in history now that i get in older
George was to do a show at The Grand Ole Opry. When he came out there was a Rocking Chair. Then he wrote this song!
I'm 35 years old and he is my favorite country singer of all time I wish I would have got the chance to meet him
This man is known by many names 1 being The possum because he had almost drank himself to death several times, also known as NO SHOW JONES , because of drinking too much to make it to the show.
Still one of the legends of country music .
An Eskimo needs a Frigidaire , like I need your rockin’ chair. Love it ❤❤❤
I still got neon in my veins, referring to neon lights. Great reaction
A family friend, years and years ago, was working security at an event in Louisville KY. She saw someone cutting donuts in the parking lot and called the cops. Turned out it was George cutting up before a concert. He didn't make it to said concert, lol.
He's saying he has neon in his veins everyone knows George, did a little drinking in his day's, hey Britt, try listening to George Jones, singing "SOMEDAY MY DAY WILL COME" LIVE GOOD SONG, THANKS
The neon in his veins refers to the Neon on & in the bar!!
One of my favorite George songs is called "The King Is Gone" such a clever song
Mark chestnut and Tracy Lawrence are the 2 guys singing background both 90s country legends
You didn't mess with George Jones
Again girl I bring it up again watch George Jones show on TH-cam you learn alot
The neon in my veins line refers to the neon lights of nightclubs.
Number one The 2 singers that came on stage was Tracy Lawrence and mark chestnut.. Number two, possum was his nickname. And the biggest one was, oh God. It must have been easy 20 years ago. Now.

Darlen your so cute. Love ya❤
This is so great and so much fun! :)
And... George never needed a rockin' chair. Stood on stage till the end, wasn't even abel to finish his farewell-tour. :(
The guys who helped him out at the end of the song are Mrk Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence. Great singers too! :)
When George mentions putting a possum in a cage he is talking about himself. His nick name is Possum. He has been called " the possum" for years
React to Choices!! You will LOVE it!! So proud to say I was able to see George in concert before he passed!
Hi Britt love your facial expressions makes me smile
❤
That's Mark Chestnut and Tracy Lawrence joining George
Love you! Yes. He’s one of a kind
My friend Billy Yates wrote that song and “Choices”! Check out Billy Yates “Flowers”
Great reaction to a great song and artist. The line about the possum in a cage is because one of his nicknames is "the possum", and the line about the new corvette is because he's got a song "The Corvette Song".
You should check out Conway Twitty Hello Darling, I'd Love to Lay you Down, are a couple of his many hits
The video for this song has George Foreman and George Jones in boxing ring with a rocking chair
Neon in the veins refers to the neon sign associated with night life
His nickname he got many many years ago was George possum Jones
One song I don't see too many people reacting to is George Jones radio lover it is a tragic love song that I think you will enjoy the story
Another great song where he does that deep voice thing is "One Woman Man." Check it out.
Love George. R.I.P
React to “its a matter of time” Randy Travis for a lil bit of rolling thunder in a voice
Neon from the bar lights
The music video has him and George Forman in it
Possum, where I come from! His beady eyes, and his down from his socks gravel voice.
Neon in his veins is refering to neon lights in bars and clubs.
Alway known as The Possum because of his eyes. My mom thought he looked like a Jack-o-lantern.
When commented on that one guys voice saying (OH his voice) That’s Mark Chestnut! He has lots of great songs!
You will love Hank Williams Jr.
YEP NEON LIGHTS IN HIS VEINS… HE WAS CALLED POSSUM BECAUSE HE WOULD GET DRUNK AND DISAPPEAR BEFORE A CONCERT!!! AND “NO SHOW JONES”…😂😂😂😂
To understand the “Neon in my veins” reference listen to Brooks and Dunn “Neon Moon” and you will get it. ❤
You are still very young. Oh my goodness, my kids are only in their 30s as well.
Dude, you gotta hear his song/video called "She loved a lot in her time", it's about his mother.
The man playing bass on George’s right is Ron gattis he does a crazy good George jones impression. I had the pleasure of playing a couple small shows with Ron hes great.
Neon, gas, or energy used in neon lights, for example
Mark Chesnutt and Tracy Lawerence are the other two George Jones was Nicknamed the "Possum" by a Disc Jockey in Nashville's WSM Ralph Emory
You are good people 😊
