Exclusive new George Jones CD includes two previously unreleased songs
It took forty years to bring them together, but now a country music legend is joining forces with a leading restaurant for good country cookin’ to offer up some songs that really cook! George Jones had already hit the country music charts and won several big awards by 1969, the year that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® opened the doors of its very first location.

A Collection Of My Best Recollection has 12 tracks and features some of George’s most memorable songs, including “White Lightning,” “Finally Friday,” and, of course, “He Stopped Lovin’ Her Today,” which many people consider to be the best country music song of all time.
