Charlie Daniels on George Jones and

Eric Clapton.

CD: "He Stopped Loving Her Today" [by George Jones]. If I had to personify country music in one song, it would probably be that one. There would be some close seconds with Hank Williams -- "Your Cheatin' Heart," etc. But it's hard to get around that song if you're trying to come up with the greatest country music song of all time. It's got it all. The performance George Jones put on in that song, it's just one of the greatest of all times. The song itself has all the country stuff: the heartbreak, the melody. It's all there. All things told, the arrangement, the performance, the singing, the music, the song itself and the way George did it just perfectly personifies country music. I feel the same way about "Layla" with Eric Clapton in a certain era of rock music. That song personifies [that part of the] '70s better than any other song I can think of.

but I used Luckenbach Texas and Layla. You can have George, I will take Waylon and that gravely voice with Wilie coming on with that sweet voice in the end.

Nothing beats Layla , with that slide guitar dancing around that piano

never liked his music, does zero for me.

I can totally agree with George Jones' song. I have seen live performances and his singing plus the band equals genius with this song.

all "adult easy listening" on us. "He Stopped Loving Her Today," is simply one of the most powerful songs I know.
