Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"

This week Danny and Tyler discuss the legendary George Jones, often considered to have the greatest voice in all of country music. And while there are over a dozen #1 country hits to choose from in Jones’ catalog, the song of the week is “Finally Friday,” the lesser-known closing track from Jones’ 1992 album, Walls Can Fall (released the same year Jones was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame).

“Finally Friday” is sung as if it’s a weekly celebration Jones has been partaking in for decades. And even though he didn’t write this track, Danny and Tyler tell stories of Jones’ antics, adventures, and struggles which suggest he very well could have.

George Jones has hundreds (thousands?) of songs, but here's a few recs to get you started if you're new to him, from Tyler and Danny:He Stopped Loving Her TodayThe Race is OnWhite LightningTennessee WhiskeyWho’s Gonna Fill Their ShoesI Just Don’t Give A DamnI Don’t Need Your Rocking ChairHe Still Thinks I CareFollow the link to keep up with which songs are being added to our Ultimate Country Playlist on Spotify, now including “Finally Friday”:https://tinyurl.com/takethispodplaylist You can now support us on PATREON!For other playlists, ways to listen, and more, click here!
