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.

George Jones
CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise
One's for my aching head the other's for my bloodshot eyes
Last night I let it all hang out I guess that's how my head got sore
CC Waterback I can't stand the pain no more
Last night we got invited to a party at the Jones' place
For fun and games and booze and things I guess I must drunk a case
But that lady of mine drank warm red wine til she couldn't even find the door
She wound up on the Jones' bed and I wound up on the floor
CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise...
[ trumpet ]
CC Waterback one tequilla sunrise...
