\n In Playin’ Possum, readers get an intimate look at country music legend George Jones through the eyes of his wife of thirty years.<\/p>\n

Ask anyone who knows country music, \u201cWho was the GOAT\u2014the greatest of all time?\u201d and the answers will inevitably lead to George Jones.<\/p>\n

Millions of people know the name of the iconic country music artist, George Jones, but few people know that behind the man and his golden voice was a strong, feisty woman who not only saved his life from cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and other abusive and self-destructive behaviors, but also was instrumental in saving his soul.<\/p>\n

Legends, half-truths, and downright lies abound about the iconic singer, but what secrets do people not know about him? What was it like to live with him through the darkest shadows and in the brightest of lights?<\/p>\n

Married for more than thirty years to the greatest country music singer who ever lived, the man Frank Sinatra had whimsically referred to as \u201cthe second-greatest singer in America,\u201d Nancy Jones knew George Jones better than anyone else on earth\u2014the good George and the bad George, the horrendous, and the hilarious. George and Nancy married March 4, 1983, and with her help and encouragement, he quit his wild and wicked ways\u2014for a while. Nancy soon learned, however, that the demons held a strong grip on the man she loved, and they were not about to release him without a fight. But Nancy Jones is a tenacious fighter, and most people who knew \u201cthe Possum,\u201d credit Nancy with saving his life and rebuilding his career.<\/p>\n

For the first time, in Playin’ Possum, Nancy Jones reveals the true \u201cinsider\u201d perspectives and little known poignant and as well as humorous stories about the country music icon\u2014his battles with cocaine, alcohol, abusive behavior toward her and others, his battles with himself, and most of all, his battles against the demons that sought to control him and ultimately destroy him.<\/p>\n

Nancy knew there was a good man inside George Jones, and she felt strongly that God had given her the assignment to help him, even if he hurt her. She refused to give up on Jones. Although Tammy Wynette sang \u201cStand By Your Man,\u201d it was actually Nancy Jones who stood by George for more than thirty years, and helped bring him to the Light. Together, they brought joy and light to millions of people. <\/p>\n
