EXACTLY! You got it Pj!!! For the entire decade of the 1990's every album Jones came out with- I would go and buy it as soon as it came out, drive around and listen. There would without fail always be something there that was so good that every hair would stand on end... I'd rewind it and play it back thinking how could anyone sing like that???!!! His phrasing, his tone, they were, well, ... I just don't know how to describe it. And, it wasn't studio FX... you'd go to see the man live, and he would sing the songs BETTER live than he did on the album! Usually at most concerts people wait until the end of a song to applaud- but during a Jones concert, every time he would hit one of those notes that make your hair stand on end, the audience would scream with applause- They would give him a standing ovation in the middle of the song! Jones had a hard life- when he sang about heartache, he felt every word... and it showed.
I took my momma to see George in a huge field in tupelo Mississippi!! He had just come out with the song… I don’t need your rocking chair!! The joy I saw in my mothers eyes.. was worth it all!! For he sang how she felt…tough life…. ❤️Tennessee
I've been married to the same girl for 54 years and I don't have an experience like this to compare to but the way George sings it I can still feel the pain in my gut...A true artist!!!
I cannot believe I haven't heard this song before! I think it is one of his best! It showed all of his vocal skills. His voice reached out and grabbed my heart. Your analysis of this song and Georges voice was spot on.. Perfect, simply perfect.
Glad to see you check out the greatest country singer ever! I believe I recommended him to you. Love your reaction, Sir...especially during the song. Your silent reaction says it all. Thank you.
At George Jones' funeral, Vince Gill said Brother George taught us all how to sing with a broken heart. Vince is right. Love your reaction ♥️ Love George Jones. "Choices" and "I Don't Need No Rockin Chair" are two of my favorite George Jones songs.
Always enjoy your reactions Pj, I am amazed when I watch your work, you will state what I am thinking. Yea, it was his tone, that voice that just mesmerized fans. This song also showed the quality of his range. He moves effortlessly from baritone to tenor and back. "His voice was like honey that caught a few specks of dirt" this is what Ian crouch wrote in a article for The New Yorker in 2013 after the passing of this great legend of country music. R.I.P. Mr. Jones !!
I cried like a baby when the Possum passed away and i told my wife i had never lived in a world without a George Jones and I didnt think i was going to like it. I was right
My God what a voice. GJ was one of a kind, there will never be another one. I love that you are doing songs that aren’t necessarily the biggest songs from the artist. Other reactors do “he stopped loving her” and “who’s gonna fill their shoes” and maybe “grand tour”, and they never hear another George Jones Song. Those songs are great, but there are SO many more. A good example of that is Waylon Jennings- he had lots of big songs that everybody knows, but most don’t realize he literally recorded thousands of songs, and some of the lessor known songs are the best. You have to dig pretty deep to find them, some of those recordings are very rare, but they are out there! I don’t know who suggested this, but damn good choice!
Yes I really wish someone would react to I’m Over You or A Place in the Country…. But both of these songs are for the lifers and we better go easy on ‘em boys!
Another tearjerker is A Good Year for the Roses (not the duet with Alan Jackson). Jones did so many recordings that it would keep you busy sorting through them all.
Just about everything country that you've reacted to has been great, as was this one. I'd like to suggest once again that you give a shot to Hal Ketchum's song "Past the Point of Rescue". I'm pretty sure that your audience would enjoy it. Thanks always.
If this doesnt put a lump in ur throat idk what will? Ck your pulse! Never heard this one. Idk how. George takes us rite to that morning. And lets /makes us feel his sorrow. Only george could do it like this. Many others can.but not like george. His voice. His feelings he put in each line. Glad you did not edit this. Great reaction.this is why i lov ur chann. Dan.4/11/22
I never heard this song before. I thought I'd heard all of his songs. He was always one of my favorite Country singers. Such talent! Thanks for reacting to all of these Country greats.
I love the imagery in country music. When Vern Gosdin sang "Chiseled in Stone" he was referring to a tombstone and he was saying if you're still alive, there's still hope. When George sang, "Tied to a Stone" he was talking about the "stone" or diamond in his wife's wedding ring that she left behind when she walked out on him because she didn't want to be "tied to a stone". Great song by a country legend.
Wow...Incredible...Never heard this song before....powerful...and could anything be more of a crushing insult than being told she felt "tied to a stone".....devastating...
Thanks for your reaction I always thought George’s voice was eerily redolent of Vern Gosdin in the chorus on this one. Please react to The Second Time Around also by George!
*corb Lund- talkin veterinarian blues* I’ve been playing country music for 20+ years. I’m a 10th generation Texan. This canadian guy is the best ive ever heard
@@DjPjrocReacts911 he’s from Alberta. There is quite a few, colter wall is another new guy from Canada. But there’s Shania Twain, Hank Snow, Ian Tyson etc
This song just shows that George Jones was the best..he's been there, and so have I, several times..real love hurts 💔 😢 without God, we have nothing..face the truth 💔 without God, in the end, what do you really have...nothing ...what do you have when the lights goes out in Georgia..total darkness 😮😮😮
DJ, You’re doing great with your reactions. Some more suggestions of George Jones are: “She thinks I still care” “A good year for the roses” “Walk through this world with me” And “Choices” just to name a few of his many hits. Also, someone you’ve probably never heard of is hits from: Lacy j Dalton listed below. “Crazy blue eyes” “Hillbilly girl with the blues” “16th. Avenue” Also, some favorites by: Emmylou Harris. “Beneath still waters” “Someone like you” “Save the last dance for me” “One of these days” “Boulder to Birmingham” Every suggestion is a great song. Thanks again for all that you do and your insight into your song reactions.🤗
I love George Jones. He had a club in Nashville in the mid 70s called Possum Holler. After closing time anyone could go to his recording studio and watch all night jam sessions. Many great musicians and stars stopped by from time to time. It is a great memory. I only stuck around about a year. I went hitch hiking across the country trying out the social experiment of the hippie lifestyle. Then after a few years joined the Air Force. My young life was full of contradictions. *Has your life been on a constant track you chose or have you had some obvious contradictions in your choices?
How much time you got? My young life was full of everything. Saw the drug game up close, too close. I was one of the fortunate ones. Thank God for Hip Hop. It saved my life.
@@DjPjrocReacts911 I did the drug thing too. In the 70s we didn't think it was all that serious until we saw it up close. Then it scared the heck out of me. It was time to go home before it was too late. The Air Force put my feet on the straight and narrow, mostly. Lol.
What a great talent he was. But you listen to most his music, You can tell he had been divorced many times. I forget how many. And had a big drinking problem most of his life. So sad.
How about another George named Strait? Maybe start at the beginning with "Amarillo by Morning", and go through all the hits until you get to "Troubadour"?
OK, if you are going to give this kind of focus to classic Nashville sound era "lost his wife, dog, car" etc, tearjerker country, especially with such regard to the tell-tale emotional vocal characteristics/timbre, you really need to spin up some Vern Gosdin. I know several have recommended it in the comments of previous videos. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200, go directly to "Chiseled in Stone."
@@coletedeux One of my mothers favorite songs. CR was the first concert I every attended when I was a kid. My folks brought me with them to see him play at Disneyland, in Anaheim, Ca !!

"choices" is a have to hear ! "walk through this world with me" was our wedding song, and "still doing time " is pure jones !!

"Choices" and "I Don't Need No Rockin Chair" are two of my favorite George Jones songs.
Right. My favorite, or one of several, is "You've got the best of me again". George was one of country music's kings.

There will never be another George Jones. Never. Ever. Ever. Love and miss him ♥️💯
Great reaction! 😃
Thank you for playing George Jones ♥️ nothing that man couldn't sing !
I cried like a baby when the Possum passed away and i told my wife i had never lived in a world without a George Jones and I didnt think i was going to like it. I was right
Me too and Conway!! I was devastated!!
@@sharonburcham66 you would have thought my grandpa died
I feel the same way about Willie Nelson. A world without Willie is not going to spin right.
You know good music, the king of country and the Queen Alison Krauss, I love your channel.

One of my favs of all!! ♥️
I have never heard this song. And I love me some George Jones. He can for real tear your heart out. Just the pain in his voice.
One of my favorites for sure!
George’s real life was something else. He lived every single minute. Good, bad and indifferent. If you have not done. Check out his life story.
Talent can be one hell of a burden.
Just about everything country that you've reacted to has been great, as was this one.
I'd like to suggest once again that you give a shot to Hal Ketchum's song "Past the Point of Rescue". I'm pretty sure that your audience would enjoy it. Thanks always.
Sine you’ve had a year…You must witness the greatness of:
Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes (official video)

Thank you for thhe support.
nobody sings a sad song like George could! What a singer!
Thank you! Never heard this winner by No Show Jones.
Wow 8:40 “His tones are like a saxophone” I always said George had the voice of a steel guitar
I love the imagery in country music. When Vern Gosdin sang "Chiseled in Stone" he was referring to a tombstone and he was saying if you're still alive, there's still hope. When George sang, "Tied to a Stone" he was talking about the "stone" or diamond in his wife's wedding ring that she left behind when she walked out on him because she didn't want to be "tied to a stone". Great song by a country legend.
Cristal clear and beautiful.
Your expression when he sang about her ring. We feel the pain.
If George can't make you feel the story he's telling no one can. This is one of my favorites along with The Grand Tour and The Door..
Wow...Incredible...Never heard this song before....powerful...and could anything be more of a crushing insult than being told she felt "tied to a stone".....devastating...
Love GJ
Lefty Frizzell would be a good one to react to-Long Black Veil, Always Late with Your Kisses, and more.
Thanks for giving me a great song I hadn't heard before .
Great analogy comparing George’s voice to a saxophone! I agree & this is another great song from the Possum!😎
Thanks for your reaction I always thought George’s voice was eerily redolent of Vern Gosdin in the chorus on this one. Please react to The Second Time Around also by George!
I got to see George Jones in Paducah Kentucky before he passed away...
Legendary "The Possum" ❤

OH MY GOD is about all I can come up with this one , sad but beautiful , would be just beautiful if I didn't know exactly what he's saying,
George Jones is Country Music :) I have another great Country Singer Johnny Duncan with Janie Fricke; 'Stranger' and 'Last Cheaters Waltz'?
Sounds like Patty Loveless singing backup. I am pretty sure it is! Never heard this one.
How about another George named Strait? Maybe start at the beginning with "Amarillo by Morning", and go through all the hits until you get to "Troubadour"?
Can you react to George Jones our bed of roses
On my list
