I hate to hear that. I’ll always remember when the CMAs awards slighted George jones, and Allan Jackson done about four beats of the scheduled song and cut into one of George’s numbers. When he got done he just dropped the mic on the stage and walked off. That spoke a lot a bout him to me.

I haven’t heard it confirmed yet, but if true, may he RIP.

Hope not. One of the few Real Country singers left.

Along with “King George”, of course.

I call bs. Nothing I can find

Yep. I remember that.

Buddy of mine use to sell cars in Nashville.
He said he sold Alan two Ford trucks and delivered them to his house. Said he was about as down to earth as it gets.

I used to hunt pheasants with that guy.

RIP

I heard Dwight Yoakam died.

You’re fibbing.

Rent Free Little Man ! RENT FREE! 😂😂😂

Well shît fire and save matches…me too!!

🥲

I used to hunt pheasants with that guy.

RIP

Your only buddy is eyeball. Did he sell cars in medical school?

Keep swinging Little Man ! Don’t let all that Dick Envy eat ya up. 😂
Besides, it’s about time for your nightly cruise of the local Gay Bars. 😂😂😂

The Texan brings up dick. What a f a g . PM Muglia

Your only buddy is eyeball. Did he sell cars in medical school?

LMAO !

Show us where the mean ole Texans touched your PUSSY.
😂😂😂

The audience had no idea they were watching a future star!

I heard Dwight Yoakam died.

Now I'm hearing about Cecile Dion I think we're getting our legs pulled

George Jones.

I agree.

Looks like he may still be alive and he turned 65 on the 17th Oct.

I believe “King George “ is George Strait

So, Nobody knows how hot a hoochie coochie is????

So, Nobody knows how hot a hoochie coochie is????

I’m thinkin if it was true there would be at least four Threads about it on the fire by now

Do we have a consensus?

Saw him last year giving an award and he looked rough.
Like pancreatic cancer rough.
RIP

George Jones.

I agree.

I think he was referring to the George who is alive… Straight.

Alan seemed like a super cool guy and the fact that all the tabloids aren’t blasting news of his death is just another data point in his favor.

May he RIP.

Ther are some great Gospel singers in Heaven.

I just got word... I better be wrong... .. nothing out there yet...

Yep!

I heard Dwight Yoakam died.

[quote=chlinstructor]

I know, but Jones was many leagues better.

Straight fans just like his wrangler butt.

Apples and oranges, they are/were both great.

Mr Straight does have genuine cowboy roots. My son is familiar with him from my son’s place of employment, said he’s a down to earth, regular guy.

That was my impression when we stood next to each other on a catering line one time. He’s kinda short and only has about as much hair as I do.

We let him get his picture took with us anyway (sorta grainy it’s been copied and sent so many times)

Yep. He’s a little fella. Met him at a local BBQ joint once when his son was competing in the TX HS Rodeo Championship in my old home town. And he’s very down to earth. Damn good team and calf roper too.
Nothing fake about George Strait. He’s the real deal.

Cool picture Mike !!!

It is a cool pic.

I like plenty of George Straight songs, hell albums. But it’s never not fun to flick the nose of a tejano that thinks he’s any kinda king.

“ George Strait…
Indeed, George Strait is known as the “King of Country.” Also, he is one of the most influential recording artists of all time. He, on the other hand, is one of the artists to bring country music back to its roots. And as mentioned above, he holds the record of having the most number one singles. His last number one single on the Billboard was “River of Love” recorded on April 18, 2009.

Meanwhile, “Fool Hearted Memory” was his very first number one and was cited on August 28, 1982. Nevertheless, George Strait keeps recording and releasing songs. With this, he’ll surely put some more. “Amarillo by Morning” is his trademark single.”

George Strait had 44 number 1 Country Music Hits.
And that’s just “Billboard Top 100 Hits”

Here’s the real total:

“ The statistic are dizzying: The King of Country Music has produced 60 No. 1 singles (more than anyone else in any genre) and 33 platinum or multi-platinum-selling albums. He's sold more than 70 million albums, and owns more than 60 major entertainment industry awards.”

George Jones only had 13.

By the way here’s a few other Texan’s that made the list of top # 1 Country Hits:

Buck Owens : 21
Kenny Rodgers : 21
Willie Nelson :20
Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn : 20
DonWilliams : 17
Waylon Jennings : 15
Clint Black : 11
Rosanne Cash : 11
Dan Seals : 11

Not to mention 😜 other TX CM Legends like:
Ernest Tubb
Bob Wills
Tex Ritter
Gene Autry
Lefty Frizzell
Glenn Campbell
Ray Price
Barbara Mandrell
ect…

And ……… oh yea, that fella you mentioned, ole George Jones……….. he's from ……. Texas. 🤠

Hell yes!
And

BOOM Gruff ,,

Alan Jackson is one of if not my favorite singer/songwriters. He is a great person from all accounts.

Take Campbell off your list, he's an Arky.
