Summary:
Presents a definitive biography of country music legend George Jones.
A definitive, full-bodied portrait of legendary country singer George Jones and the music that remains his legacy. An enormously gifted, tragically tormented icon. Jones's impoverished East Texas childhood as the youngest son of a deeply religious mother and alcoholic, often-abusive father. His three troubled marriages including his union with superstar Tammy Wynette, and an unsparing look at Jones's demons. Alcohol and later cocaine nearly killed him until fourth wife Nancy helped him learn to love himself. Jones's remarkable musical journey from singing in violent Texas honky tonks to Grand Ole Opry star, hitmaker and master vocalist whose raw, emotionally powerful delivery remains the Gold Standard for country singers.
