In North Carolina, way back in the hills/Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still/We brewed white lightning till the sun went down/Then he’d fill him a jug and he’d pass it around”

Made up of recordings done for earlier projects but never released, the CD presents Jones at his Hall of Fame best. Selections range from a mid-1970s duet with former wife Tammy Wynette to a 2006 duet with their daughter, Georgette Jones.
