A Celebration of the Greatest Living Country Singer
By Matthew B. Cravens
Of course the greatest living country singer would be George "Possum" Jones. As Emmylou Harris stated in an interview on the DVD, he needs no introduction. He needs no dancers, or smoke screens or anything else like that. He is a living legend and is quite simply one of the greatest singers of any genre of music to ever walk the face of the Earth. In a concert format, several country stars, old and new, pay tribute to Jones by singing some of his most classic, greatest hits. Most of the instantly recognizable ones are here, such as "A Picture of Me Without You", "The Grand Tour", "The Race is On", and "She Thinks I Still Care", and many more. There are also a few less known ones, such as "One of These Days". George Jones wraps it all up with his biggest hit, and the greatest country song ever recorded, "He Stopped Loving Her Today". I personally would have liked to see a few more well known ones but this is still a superb DVD in honor of Jones, with great sound and picture quality.

The Greatest Country Singer
By Kathryn R. Clark
I have always said that no one can sing a George Jones like George Jones. Well, I was wrong. Up until I bought this Concert Tribute, I thought the only one who even came close was Aaron Neville singing The Grand Tour. I never liked Randy Travis, but boy can he sing George Jones songs. Also I loved Vince Gill, Lorrie Morgan, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, Emmylou Harris, Martina McBride and Joe Diffie. But Uncle Kracker, Sammy Kershaw and Amy Grant blew me away!!! My only sour note was watching Harry Connick Jr. butcher one of George's greatest songs, She Thinks I Still Care. I totally refuse to listen to him on this concert. I hit the skip button the minute he comes on. Buy this concert if you want to see some great George Jones' songs being performed by outstanding performers.

"A must have"
By glitzylady2u
Now this is REAL COUNTRY MUSIC, thru and thru.The presentation, sound and color is great.The words that Vince Gill had to say about George says it all.A real treasure to be able to sit and listen for 2 hours.GREAT VALUE from Amazon.I also purchased "NEVER SAY DIE" the final concert of WAYLON JENNINGS & THE WAYMORE BLUES BAND.It features his wife Jessie Colter in several songs.It's a Box Set, well worth the money.DVD(running time 2 hours) and 2 CD'sDon't pass up this opportunity.Also purchased WAYLON JENNINGS LIVE FROM AUSTIN,TEXAS recorded April 1, 1989.Features 17 great songs taken from the full concert with great color and sound. It's56 minutes.
