Remembering George Jones (feat. Nancy Jones)

Hosts Bobby Johnson and Barrett Hobbs welcome Nancy Jones, wife of the late George Jones, back to the Nashville Palace for a conversation full of stories about George and a preview of his upcoming birthday celebration. Nancy shares details on the George Jones 95th Birthday Bash happening September 13th at the Nashville Palace, including the stacked lineup she helped put together: Jamey Johnson, Ernest, T. Graham Brown, Lorrie Morgan, Jesse Keith Whitley, Tanya Tucker, Jake Worthington, Billy Yates, Heath Wright of Ricochet, and Dean Dillon, with Cletus T. Judd hosting. The conversation turns to Nancy's memories of George, including the story of how she first met him in New York in November of 1981, after being talked into going to one of his shows, and how their relationship took off from there. Barrett also shares the story of the day he, George, and his road manager Peewee spent riding around picking songs together for the Cold Hard Truth album, notepads in hand in the back of the car, a day that would end with George's headline-making car accident. Nancy also gives an update on the future George Jones Museum being built on their old property, along with plans to bring back the Christmas lights display that once drew crowds to their home every year. Pull up a chair and settle in for another round of the Nashville Palace Podcast… where the stars drop in.
