Strong and sober, George Jones looks back on his life with searing candor. From his roots in an impoverished East Texas family to his years of womanizing, boozing, brawling, and singing with the voice that made him a star, his story is a nonstop rollercoaster ride of the price of fame. It is also the story of how the love of a good woman, his wife Nancy, helped him clean up his act.


George Jones has been called the greatest country singer of our time. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Nancy.



Tom Carter has co-authored books with Ralph Emery, Reba McEntire among others. He lives in Nashville.
