Malone writes, \"For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his long career, Jones made headlines often as much for tales of his drinking, stormy relationships with women, and violent rages as for his prolific career of making records and touring. His wild lifestyle led to Jones missing many performances, earning him the nickname \"No Show Jones.\" With the help of his fourth wife, Nancy, he has been sober for many years. Jones has had more than 150 hits during his career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists. The shape of his nose and facial features have given Jones the nickname \"The Possum.\" Jones said in an interview that he has chosen to tour only about 60 dates a year.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/George+Jones","playStationPath":"/stations/113261722/play","stationId":113261722,"bioPath":"/music/George+Jones/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Vince+Gill","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/719/719305414a27498d4198b6958b1e4a15_md.jpg","artistName":"Vince Gill","artistId":7890,"station_id":113268172},{"musicPath":"/music/Doug+Stone","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bfb/bfb609209b9269c3fd2a64df6461fd72_md.jpg","artistName":"Doug Stone","artistId":75457,"station_id":266470265},{"musicPath":"/music/Sonny+James","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a15/a15cdf8bc25f4f7342f5bc1a582ce6e0_md.jpg","artistName":"Sonny James","artistId":6771,"station_id":113309630},{"musicPath":"/music/Sammy+Kershaw","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/15b/15b84921dd6d0f0eb50b6a4ef1202dc8_md.jpg","artistName":"Sammy Kershaw","artistId":1818,"station_id":113282516},{"musicPath":"/music/Conway+Twitty+Loretta+Lynn","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ea5/ea5954579eeb06d85a6fab642849f118_md.jpg","artistName":"Conway Twitty \u0026 Loretta Lynn","artistId":106838,"station_id":281656189},{"musicPath":"/music/Merle+Haggard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9c9/9c96ce34f5b9d477b66843f618b44909_md.jpg","artistName":"Merle Haggard","artistId":1276,"station_id":113263061},{"musicPath":"/music/Billy+Joe+Shaver","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b95/b9503aa82eec3f9240a874f161a67b6c_md.jpg","artistName":"Billy Joe Shaver","artistId":11372,"station_id":113360045},{"musicPath":"/music/Jeannie+C+Riley","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3d/b3d4290c83a701a24f13ec043051c5c5_md.jpg","artistName":"Jeannie C.
