πŸ’” A Harlan Howard song. A man looking in the rearview mirror. And George Jones making you feel every mile of the distance.
Someone That You Used to Know was written by Harlan Howard β€” the man behind I Fall to Pieces, Heartaches by the Number and Busted β€” and recorded by George Jones during his Epic Records era with producer Billy Sherrill. Howard had a gift for the quiet devastation of the past tense β€” not someone I love but someone I used to know. The relationship isn't ending. It's already over. The narrator is looking back from the other side. 🎸🎡 George Jones - Someone That You Used to KnowπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

πŸ’Œ Every image in the lyric is a law of nature β€” and together they build the most quietly devastating declaration of love in country music.Close Together (As You and Me) was written by Earl "Peanut" Montgomery β€” one of George Jones's most trusted songwriting partners β€” and recorded as a duet with Melba Montgomery for their 1966 Musicor album. And the lyric construction is unlike anything else in the Jones catalogue. 🎸🎡 George Jones - Close Together As You And MeπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

βš”οΈ Satin gowns as armor. Tears as deadly weapons. And one of the most overlooked masterpieces in George Jones's entire catalogue.
The Battle was recorded on October 24, 1975 β€” written by Norro Wilson, Linda Kimball, and George Richey β€” Tammy Wynette's manager who would later marry Wynette himself. It was released in the immediate aftermath of George Jones's divorce from Tammy β€” and producer Billy Sherrill used a snare drum deliberately to evoke a Civil War battlefield. 🎸🎡 George Jones - The BattleπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

πŸ’” Dallas Frazier wrote it. Sanger Shafer shaped it. And George Jones sang it like a man who already knew the answer.The title alone is a masterpiece of self-deception β€” Tell Me My Lying Eyes Are Wrong β€” a man so desperate to believe his lover is faithful that he's begging his own instincts to betray him. Not "tell me I'm wrong." Tell me my eyes are wrong. The evidence is right there. He just can't accept it. Pure country heartbreak philosophy. πŸ’”πŸŽ΅ George Jones - Tell Me My Lying Eyes Are WrongπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

🌹 A Vietnam veteran. A bottle of cheap wine. And a voice that made you feel every word of a life gone sideways.Wild Irish Rose was released in March 1998 as the lead single from George Jones's It Don't Get Any Better Than This β€” produced by Buddy Cannon and Norro Wilson. It failed to chart on Billboard β€” but that didn't make the song any less powerful. 🎸🎡 George Jones - Wild Irish RoseπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

🎸 A traditional song from the early 1900s. A 23-year-old from Texas. And the blue-collar anthem that defined George Jones before the world knew his name.I'm Ragged But I'm Right is a traditional American song dating from the early 1900s β€” recorded by George Jones in August 1955 at Gold Star Studios in Houston and released in February 1956 on Starday Records. It didn't chart. But it became a live favorite that Jones performed for decades. 🎸🎡 George Jones - I'm Ragged but I'm RightπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Harlan Howard wrote it in 1962 as a warning. George Jones recorded it β€” while living every word of it.A Drunk Can't Be a Man was written and originally recorded by Harlan Howard in 1962 β€” the same man behind I Fall to Pieces, Heartaches by the Number, and Busted. George Jones's recording on his 1976 album Alone Again became the most celebrated version β€” and the one that carries the most devastating autobiographical weight. 🎸🎡 George Jones - A Drunk Can't Be a ManπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

πŸ₯ƒ He sang about being a prisoner of alcohol β€” while living every word of it. And critics were astonished he could sing at all.Still Doin' Time was released in September 1981 as the first single from Still the Same Ole Me β€” written by John Moffatt and Michael P. Heeney. It became Jones' eighth #1 country single as a solo artist, spending one week at the top and ten weeks on the chart. 🎸🎡 George Jones - Still Doin’ TimeπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

πŸ’” The year George Jones walked into Epic Records β€” and Billy Sherrill turned him into a legend.
Love Lives Again comes from 1973 β€” one of the most remarkable years in George Jones's entire career. Jones had signed with Epic Records in 1971 and begun working with producer Billy Sherrill β€” who was already producing Tammy Wynette β€” and the partnership would coax out of the temperamental, often hard-drinking Jones some of his all-time best vocal performances. By 1973, the machine was fully running. 🎸🎡 George Jones - Love Lives AgainπŸ’– Listen the song in the 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
