George Jones Still Going Strong in Gospel Shift
George Jones, 71, says contemporary country is too antiseptic and he now focuses on gospel with the album George Jones The Gospel Collection. He reflects on a life of drinking, hits since 1955, recovery after a 1999 car crash, and his Medal of Arts at the White House, while aging star status and faith frame his career.
