What does 78-year-old country
music icon George Jones wish he
could find on the radio dial? Country music, for one. Jones tells The 9513,
"The radio don't play traditional country music like it used to. I listen to
Alan
Jackson and ....George.. ..Strait..... They're
still on the stations. And we like Sugarland, too. Most of
the new artists, they understand me. We're good friends. Kenny
Chesney is like my son, [along with] Dierks
Bentley, and several of them. They know I love
traditional music and I know what they have to do. We still all go out and have
a steak together; they're good people and they do good work. [It] just ain't
what I like anymore." So who else does George dig? Jones reveals that it's
Jamey
Johnson, adding, "He's coming along pretty good, but
I don't know how long they're gonna play him because he's country and real
traditional. But he's had some real good success early, and that looks good for
him."
If George had to sum up who he is, he'll tell you, "Well, I'm a
traditional country artist. I always have been and I always will be. I love it
so much - I always have - that when you speak of traditional country music, it's
like a religion to me. I didn't get started seeking glory or seeking big dollars
or being somebody big. I came into it because I loved what I was doing."
