GEORGE HAS GOOD OLE TIME WITH CROOK & CHASE
Check out a few pictures from George’s recent appearance on Crook & Chase that will air on September 3rd on the RFD Network. George sat down with Lorianne and Charlie to talk about his new album “A Collection of My Best Recollection” and other possum exclusives available only at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores®.
GEORGE JONES TALKS NEW MUSIC, MOVIE PLANS
Following in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers and Montgomery Gentry, George Jones has struck a deal with Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores. ‘A Collection of My Best Recollection’ will feature 12 of the Possum’s best loved hits, including ‘White Lightning,’ ‘Finally Friday’ and the award-winning ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today,’ as well as two previously unreleased tracks – ‘I’m a Long Gone Daddy’ and ‘I Don’t Want to Know.’ The CD is available exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.
“They’ve been a big, big asset for country music and it’s getting bigger everyday,” George tells The Boot. “They’ve sold so many records of Dolly’s, it showed up No. 9 on the regular charts, and there’s nothing that radio can do about that. It’s a wonderful thing to see your name pop up in the charts again.”
"BIG LECTRIC FAN TO KEEP ME COOL WHILE I SLEEP"
By Chris Gray in Bayou Beat
Tennessee-born artist Wayne White is crafting a 15-foot puppet head in the likeness of Saratoga-born honky-tonk legend George Jones. Entitled “Big Lectric Fan to Keep Me Cool While I Sleep” - a reference to Jones’ song “Ragged but Right” - and appropriately positioned on its side, asleep, the outsized bust is patterned after the flat-topped Possum circa 1950. The installation opens Thursday, September 10, at the Rice University Art Gallery in Sewall Hall, with a free reception from 5-7 p.m. catered by St. Arnold’s Brewery; White will speak at 6 p.m. The sculpture will be displayed until October 18, when, like the Possum himself, it will mysteriously disappear. more!
