George Jones. Country music legend. "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Does anybody really need to know anything more? Yes? OK, try this. In the past 30 years, the vast majority of mainstream male country singers have tried to sound like one of two people: Merle Haggard or George Jones. Country music trends have come and gone, as have wives, record labels, bouts with alcohol and the "No Show" Jones label. But the affectionately nicknamed Possum endures. The show is part of the Arnold Tourism Commission's Rickman Concert Series.
