He was always singing, even when he could barely stand: George Jones, the dirt-poor Texas country boy who shot to the heights of country music fame and to the depths of despair. Here is his story, of booze, women, and song-and headlines that rivaled his singing career. In his moving, startlingly candid memoir, legend George Jones tells all...about his stormy marriage to Tammy Wynette, a relationship that began whenn he swept Tammy and her children out of their house-under her husband's nose...about trashing an Indiana motel room with Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash...performing with Hank Williams on radio, so awestruck he couldn't even pick up his guitar...the ruthless drug lords who nearly killed his family to keep him in line. And finally, Jones tells the loving, poignant story of the extraordinary woman who battled his demons to win his heart-and soul.
