Description
As a child growing up, I met a lot of interesting characters. When people ask me about who I remember hanging around as a kid, I always say that I remember Tony Joe White and George Jones being the most frequent and consistent around the house. George was always made me feel like he took me seriously, no matter what age I was.
When I started working on my first solo album, I called George and asked him to appear on my record. Without batting an eye, he said yes. This meant the world to me.
Jones producer asked me to write some songs for Georges next record. It turns out now he wasnt his producer. Maybe he was just gunning for the position and thought if he showed up with some originals I wrote it might help his chances. Who knows? Either way, I wrote one song for him, and co-wrote another with a dear friend of mine, Faren Miller. I sent him the tracks, he liked them, and told me I would hear back from him. I never did and less than a year later George passed away.
The next thing I knew I recorded them: this is my tribute to the greatest singer and interpreter in country music. This is my tribute to a friend. I miss you George. Thank you for making me feel like I could do this.
