<p>NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Country Music Hall of Famer George Jones isn’t a big fan of where the genre has moved in recent years.</p>
<p>When asked about what he thought about music by today’s top country stars, the 78-year-old said while they are good, “they’ve stolen our identity.”</p>
<p>Jones made the comment during a recent interview when asked about music by artists like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.</p><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/11/03/george-jones-new-country-music-needs-a-n#more628">Read more »</a><div class="item_footer"><p><small><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/11/03/george-jones-new-country-music-needs-a-n">Original post</a> blogged on <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GeorgeJonesNews/~4/m1_EiaZ_XPI" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/11/03/george-jones-new-country-music-needs-a-nWHO HAS THE TOP SONG ABOUT MOONSHINE?admincwhttp://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/29/who-has-the-top-song-about-moonshine2009-10-29T13:40:33Z2009-10-29T13:41:14Z<div class="image_block"><img src="http://georgejones.com/current/media/blogs/news/young_gj_100.jpg" alt="" title="" width="100" height="100" /></div><p><a href="http://www.the9513.com/26-songs-about-moonshine/">The 9513</a></p>
<p>Prohibition ended over 70 years ago, but moonshine songs have still enjoyed a fair amount of popularity in the past decades. Narrowing it down to only 26 songs was difficult, and this month’s Top Five was pretty hotly contested here at The 9513 compound. Nevertheless, we did our best to bring you songs from a wide variety of artists and eras. </p><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/29/who-has-the-top-song-about-moonshine#more625">Read more »</a><div class="item_footer"><p><small><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/29/who-has-the-top-song-about-moonshine">Original post</a> blogged on <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GeorgeJonesNews/~4/mtnrlsI2TRc" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/29/who-has-the-top-song-about-moonshineCATCH THE POSSUM LIVE & ONLINE!admincwhttp://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/21/catch-the-possum-live-aamp-online2009-10-21T21:47:16Z2009-10-21T22:15:01Z<div class="image_block"><img src="http://www1.georgejones.com/current/media/blogs/news/possum_webkin_100.jpg" alt="" title="" width="100" height="116" /></div><p><b>Find George’s Friend Lightnin’ & WIN!</b></p>

By Bob Schieffer </p>
<p>“We’re from CBS News - any George Jones fans here?” </p>
<p>“You better believe that, honey!” </p>
<p>They have come from far and wide - one couple from Ireland. The young, and the not-so-young. </p>
<p>They’re at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium - the Mother Church of country music - because George Jones is here. </p>
<p>Jones has been singing for most of his 78 years. But after the life he’s lead, the wonder of it isn’t that he’s still singing - the wonder is he’s still alive. </p><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/12/george-jones-still-doin-time#more622">Read more »</a><div class="item_footer"><p><small><a href="http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/12/george-jones-still-doin-time">Original post</a> blogged on <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GeorgeJonesNews/~4/HbMSc96F7AA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/12/george-jones-still-doin-timeGEORGE JONES TO APPEAR ON CBS SUNDAY MORNING THIS SUNDAY!admincwhttp://www.georgejones.com/news.php/2009/10/08/george-jones-to-appear-on-cbs-sunday-mor2009-10-08T20:27:47Z2009-10-08T20:27:47Z<p><a target="_blank" href="http://shop.crackerbarrel.com/online/shopping/Category.asp?cat%5Fid=34"></p><div class="image_block"><img src="http://www1.georgejones.com/current/media/blogs/news/a_collect_CB_100.jpg" alt="" title="" width="100" height="91" /></div></a><p>Country music legend George Jones will appear on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/sunday/main3445.shtml">CBS Sunday Morning</a> this Sunday October 11, 2009.
