George Jones

It's literally fit for one of the most important icons in country music history.

"What an amazing concept for a song."

The 1990s are often thought of as the definitive era of modern traditional country — but don't underestimate the 1980s!

In the 1980s, more than ever before, country artists and songwriters were perfecting the art of the story song.

Don't expect anyone to line up to follow this artist.

With a new decade came along a whole new crop of storytellers.

After all, everyone has a story to tell — and country music has a lot to say.

Wade played guitar on George Jones' 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' Ray Price's 'Crazy Arms' and more.

There's something inherently haunting about the last song an artist ever performs live before they die.

Got a birthday coming up? So do these country artists!
