"Of course the greatest living country singer would be George "Possum" Jones. As Emmylou Harris stated in an interview on the DVD, he needs no introduction. He needs no dancers, or smoke screens or anything else like that. He is a living legend and is quite simply one of the greatest singers of any genre of music to ever walk the face of the Earth. In a concert format, several country stars, old and new, pay tribute to Jones by singing some of his most classic, greatest hits. Most of the instantly recognizable ones are here, such as "A Picture of Me Without You", "The Grand Tour", "The Race is On", and "She Thinks I Still Care", and many more. There are also a few less known ones, such as "One of These Days". George Jones wraps it all up with his biggest hit, and the greatest country song ever recorded, "He Stopped Loving Her Today". I personally would have liked to see a few more well known ones but this is still a superb DVD in honor of Jones, with great sound and picture quality."

"I have always said that no one can sing a George Jones like George Jones. Well, I was wrong. Up until I bought this Concert Tribute, I thought the only one who even came close was Aaron Neville singing The Grand Tour. I never liked Randy Travis, but boy can he sing George Jones songs. Also I loved Vince Gill, Lorrie Morgan, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, Emmylou Harris, Martina McBride and Joe Diffie. But Uncle Kracker, Sammy Kershaw and Amy Grant blew me away!!! My only sour note was watching Harry Connick Jr. butcher one of George's greatest songs, She Thinks I Still Care. I totally refuse to listen to him on this concert. I hit the skip button the minute he comes on. Buy this concert if you want to see some great George Jones' songs being performed by outstanding performers."

Am I glad I bought this

"I was never much of a George Jones fan. And I didn't care much for the song Tennessee Whiskey. And I didn't care much for Kenny Chesney. But when I heard Kenny Chesney sing "Tennessee Whiskey", WOW!!!!

I bought this DVD for just that one song.

The rest of the CD is good also. Most of the songs are well done buy famous artists.

I have a new appreciation for Jones and Chesney."
