George Jones and the Jones Boys, Live in Texas 1965
Thanks for the recommendation dow! Ace does so many great releases, it's too bad they don't get much attention in the U.S. (Understandably perhaps as they're UK releases, but they're so good and hell I usually get them!)

For all the antagonism the recordings have stirred up, no one is sure the eight brittle reel-to-reels will survive an effort to convert them into digital recordings. No one has played them in decades, not even the judge who accepted them as collateral. https://t.co/NDTzbf96nE— New York Times Music (@nytimesmusic) April 24, 2022

ah maybe post. hard to find info about this. there is some unhappiness from the producer about getting no credit.https://eu.tennessean.com/story/money/2018/03/15/george-jones-widow-record-label-sued-earl-peanutt-montgomery-5-million/427475002/

I wish Jones had recorded this song. (This is a demo Elvis Costello recorded for Jones, basically to pitch him the song and show how it would work as a country arrangement.)

listening to a CDr of stuff from his complete united artists recordings 1962-1964 and i just love it to death! it just sounds so good to me. especially those harmonies. whoever did the harmonies with him is awesome. i don't really listen to george jones. but i got hundreds of CDrs that someone had burned of cool country comps/rockabilly/bear family boxes. great sound too. this is a real standout. love "Brown To Blue". its all good though.

I haven't seen that series yet. Does Michael Shannon pull it off?
