By most accounts, George Jones is the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten hits, and Jones always stayed closer to the roots of hardcore country. Jones was born and raised in east Texas, near the city of Beaumont.

All Fall Down (feat. Emmylou Harris) Lyrics
George Jones
Emmylou Harris & George Jones
Houses small.
Left alone,
All fall down.
Dreams so clear,
Disappear,
Without a sound:
All fall down.
Lovers meet.
Lovers quarrel.
Lonely boy,
Lonely girl.
I lost him,
And I have found,
Dreams, like walls,
All fall down.
All fall down, (All fall down.)
All fall down.(All fall down.)
She don't want me to call her,
And she's told me not to bother comin' round.
All fall down, (All fall down.)
All fall down.(All fall down.)
When you take a love for granted like I did,
You're bound too see it all fall down.
Castles tall.
Houses small.
Left alone,
All fall down.
Into Fade.
Dreams so clear,
Disappear,
Without a sound:
All fall down.
