George Jones & Friends: 50th Anniversary Tribute Concert (2009) Review

George Jones and Friends: 50th Anniversary Tribute Concert (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For George Jones, what better tribute one can have, than a good one you can enjoy while you still can. This tribute is meaningful by those who have been inspired by George Jones, those who call him the best. The entertainers present are Vince Gill, George Jones, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, EmmyLou Harris, Martina McBride, Kris Kristofferson, Shelby Lynne, Wynonna, Joe Diffie, Trick Pony, Uncle Kracker.
You will hear the souful sad version of "Grand Tour" by Aaron Neville, and a bluesy twist to "She Thinks I Still Care" with Harry Connick, Jr. And I love the song "Bartender's Blues" beautifully sung by Amy Grant.
Randy Travis sings "Once You've Had the Best" and duets with George for their hit, "A Few Ole Country Boys". And Lori Morgan sings the song she also made a hit, the beautiful "Picture of You". Connie Smith and George do "Golden Ring"
"Walk Through This World With Me", another beautiful favorite is sung by Tanya Tucker and her voice enhances the lyrics.
Sprinkled through the concert are the entertainer's words about George, and he is honored greatly. They talk about him being down to earth, soulful, genuine, ability to deliver those lyrics, phrases, emotion. Everybody honors George through their words and the bonus material features extended interviews.
Also in the bonus material are two songs/music videos by George. Written by Jamie O'Hara (no mention in the printed material) are 50,000 names (a Vietnam wall) and Cold Hard Truth, an excellent cheating song. O'Hara also did a video on these two songs.
Enjoy this collection!! What a tribute!!.......Rizzo

Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan: Cowboy Jack Clement's Home Movies
I had the opportunity to record at Clementvision studios @'89 or so with Chance Martin who was executive producer of the old Johnny Cash show on ABC. Chance appears on this DVD as the voice of Shakespeare. Engineer David Ferguson whom i worked with on those sessions also appears.
This DVD brought back a lot of memories and gives a good insight behind the scenes with some of Nashvilles heaviest hitters. Also on this DVD is a rare glimpse into a side of Johnny Cash that was seldom scene by the general public. It is said that "Cowboy" was able to bring out the funny and whimsical side of Johnny that a lot of people didn't get to see. This is a MUST for any real Johnny Cash fans.
