Seconding "Tender Years." Some Dude OTM, the swell in Mr Jones's voice as he heads into the chorus is awesome.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" might be my favorite country music song ever.

Favorite George Jones song is probably "Who Shot Sam," but that's not to denigrate lots of these. Hard to choose...but "The Grand Tour, I guess. George did divorce music with the best of them.

yeah "Who Shot Sam" is a hoot...we could totally do more Jones polls after this, but I dunno what criteria would be best to use, maybe top tens or just take a best-of and remove the #1s...

the actual noise of a door slamming in "the door" is goofily sublime.
i have to admit that i wondered for a long time whether his wife had left him or died in "the grand tour."

prompted me to check out a mid-80s bio of him, "Ragged But Right" and hoooboy, lot of interesting stuff right out the gate. I was previously entirely unaware of the Big Thicket.
