It’s George Jones’s birthday today, and he’s clearly celebrating by listening to the new Around the Albums in 80 Days episode (I think)!
In this fifth episode we discuss the Starday-Mercury label albums that were released after Jones left the label. We also take an in-depth look at Jones's first live recording. Topics include: Chewbacca’s role in Star Wars, Elvis Costello, The Byrds, Roger Miller, Alan Jackson, Little Willie John, an in-depth exploration of "Bony Maronie," the first album to get a "9" rating, why singers say "choo" instead of "you," and further George Jones mysteries and debates!
Tune in here and enjoy!
