    Early George Jones was amazing:





    Later stuff is nothing special. He's the BB King of country music. They both lost part of their voice, and were also cursed by the ubiquitous synthesized violins of the era.

    A lot more harmonically sophisticated than your average country song. Willie picked up a lot of swing somewhere along the way. Hard to tell where from his bio.

    Neither of them is pretty enough to make it in country music today.

    Whatever else you think of Gregg Allman, truly one of the great voices of rock, and Whipping Post is his Nessun Dorma.

    My old band played the tune and I have to say our singer did a creditable job. Not many people have the balls to cover it.
