On March 4, 1983, Jones wed Nancy Sepulvado at his sister's house in Woodville, Texas.

The Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters Festival is July 29th- August 1st in Henderson with over 30 great Nashville songwriters coming in to tell their stories.  The coordinator of the event is Henderson native, Kerry Kurt Phillips, who has written some of the most memorable songs in Country Music.

Not long before he died, George Jones penned a final letter to Alan Jackson. He was asking for a favor, one the younger country singer was likely happy to fulfill. Now, as Jackson releases his Angels and Alcohol album he's shared a photo of that letter with Taste of Country readers.

Alan Jackson's Angels and Alcohol album is as country as country gets — something that fans of the format may find refreshing, but something that his longtime fans expect. The 10 songs tell stories of love, heartbreak, drinking and family, but really, the 56-year-old is just doing what his hero asked him to do years ago.

The palatial home that George Jones shared with his wife, Nancy Jones, has been sold.

George Jones was almost as famous for his offstage exploits as for his iconic music, and his colorful life is coming to the big screen in a film that his wife promises will be an honest look the country icon.

Nancy Jones is convinced that God sent her to George Jones to save the country legend from himself.

Cody Wikline knows how it's done. The country hopeful got chairs turning during the Blind Auditions of The Voice on Monday night (Feb. 23) with a rendition of a George Jones classic.

Beginning in April, country music fans will have the opportunity to get an in-depth look at the life and career of the late George Jones.

Officially, Bertie "Pee Wee" Johnson was George Jones’ road manager for over a decade, but that hardly describes the two men’s unexpected relationship. Johnson, also known for creating hot chicken in Nashville, died last week at his home in Columbia, Tenn.

The legacy of country icon George Jones will live on in Music City. The George Jones Museum and event center is in its planning stages, set to open next spring.

I have been a huge fan of karaoke for a long time and I don't get to do it as often as I'd like or as often as I used to.  I came upon some older tunes today that I realized I've never sang, and I have made it my goal to do so.  I also realized they're some of the saddest songs ever.
