George Jones - what more can be said. The Possum. The greatest country and western singer alive today. This album is called George Jones - We Can Make It and it has a great nugget on it called Kiss an Angle Good Morning. From 1972, on the Epic imprint. He is revered for good reason. I don't think I can put into words how great his song He Stopped Loving Her Today is. With apologies to Steve Goodman , John Prine, and David Allan Coe, it might just be the most "perfect country and western song ever written."See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R2F9f2Cl6Y&feature=related
The song "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is from 1980, the lead single from his album, I Am What I Am. The song was Jones first No. 1 single in six years at the time. The melancholy (to say the least) song was written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman.
