Peak position.

Three.

Mix on chart.

This is a story about a country singer.

A country singer who heard voices.

A country singer with the greatest voice in country music history.

And a country singer with demons.

It's also a story of a shooting, an escape, a crash, and of course, redemption.

Sort of.

This is the story of George Jones, a man who made great music.

Some of the greatest music of all time.

You're Still On My Mind, anyone?

Seriously, find me a better country song than George Jones' You're Still On My Mind.

That song is great music.

And that music at the top of the show wasn't great music.

That was a preset loop from my Mellotron called Playing Possum MK2.

I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to boogie-oogie-oogie by a taste of honey.

And why would I play you that specific slice of nose-candy-cheese-could-I-afford-it?

Because that was the number one song in America on September 13th, 1978.

And that was the day that the demons in George Jones' head tried to convince him to murder his best friend, Earl Peanut Montgomery.
