George Jones

Sammy Kershaw is back on the charts, this time with his George Jones tribute album, 'Do You Know Me? A Tribute to George Jones.' The record debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard Top Country chart, making it his first Top 40 album in over a decade.

2013 was full of tragedy, surprises and celebration -- it seemed a new jaw-dropping news event took place just about every month in country music. Five events make the final cut as nominees for the Headline of the Year Award at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Which do you think should win?

Country singer Lynn Anderson was absent from last week's (Nov. 22) star-studded George Jones tribute show, but for reasons that were out of her control. She was involved in a scary car accident while on her way to the event. Anderson's SUV blew a tire, which is always terrifying and dangerous.

George Jones' farewell concert Friday night (Nov. 22) was in the works while the iconic singer was still alive and calling the shots, helping out with the planning. But somehow, he knew he'd be a no show at the event.

A large monument that George Jones began designing years before his death was unveiled on Monday (Nov. 18). Friends, family and fans packed the singer's gravesite to witness the historic revealing before the singer's widow, Nancy, shared another way the legend's legacy will live on.

George Jones was an unforgettable country music performer, so it's fitting that his farewell concert lineup at Bridgestone Arena is, well, unforgettable. The full performer list has been revealed, and it's chock full of some of today's most influential acts, as well as yesterday's favorites.

We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.

Two corn mazes within driving distance of Nashville are paying tribute to the Possum this fall. Fans can get lost inside the likeness of country legend George Jones during Halloween season. Overhead images of both reveal an older singer in his classic performance-wear and eyeglasses.

If George Jones were still alive, he'd likely be mighty pleased to see the talented roster for his farewell concert.

Two days before what would have been George Jones' 82nd birthday, the iconic singer's country gospel record 'Amazing Grace' will be released.
