No fancy light show...no dancing girls...no auto-tune...just a great country voice and a great story everyone can relate to. The 'ol Possum was truly one of the legends and is missed everyday. The 'new' country artists should take a listen to this to hear what a country song is all about !

A lot of the old country greats could sing a drinking song, but none sang them like George. That's because he lived it every day for much of his life. It was autobiographical. It makes me think back to that story of him on the riding lawn mower. Too bad he had to go (die, I mean - not to the liquor store on the mower). Willie's the only one left.

The George Jones song Who's Gonna Fill there Shoes comes to mind when I think of all the ones that are left today.
