REVIEW: Waylon Jennings wrote in his song It’s Alright – “If we all could sound like the way we wanted, we’d all sound like George Jones.” Such is the remarkable impact and accessibility of one Country music’s great performers, who had more than 150 hits during his illustrious career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other high-profile artists.
Despite his past troubles with alcohol and a wily nickname such as “Possum”, the late George Jones had developed a reputation as Country music’s very own living legend. Given a guitar when he was nine years old, Jones was soon busking for money on the streets of Beaumont – leaving home at 16 to make his mark on the world of music. Same Ole Me is the story of George Jones finally told his way with help from Roy Acuff, Tom T. Hall, Loretta Lynn, Buck Owens, Ricky Skaggs and Johnny Cash.
