What a marvelous voice, so distinctive. After Hank Williams and then Merle Haggard, George Jones was one of my first introductions to country living here in the UK. You are so lucky to be able to pick up original vinyl in the place where all this fine music came from! And we are lucky too, benefiting from your generosity in ripping and posting it.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I grew up with this music listening with my grandparents, uncles, aunts and parents so it brings back a lot of memories for me.
Well, you were lucky also in having that culture to absorb as you grew up! But you can absorb it second hand so to speak, as I did: I introduced my father to country and it became one of his favourite genres for the last 30 years of his life. 'Why didn't I hear all this before?' he used to say.
