What does everyone think about the comment George Jones made recently about this new era of country music?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country Music Hall of Famer George Jones isn’t a big fan of where the genre has moved in recent years.
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.”
Jones made the comment during a recent interview when asked about music by artists like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.

My favorite part of this interview:
“”They had to use something that was established already, and that’s traditional country music. So what they need to do really, I think, is find their own title, because they’re definitely not traditional country music,” he said…”
WTG!! George.
Oh, the possum!! At least he’s honest. And it’s true. Did you see where Merle Haggard referred to Underwood as Underwear:
