George Jones : the life and times of a honky tonk legend - updated edition
He is, in fact, two men running in opposite directions at the same time. One is George Jones, King of Country Music. The other one is the George Jones who drinks whiskey like water; shot at his best friend; and once destroyed his own home in a fit of drunken rage. Here, for the first time in paperback, is a biography of this latter-day Jekyll and Hyde. It's all here: his impoverished boyhood in Texas; the years on the honky-tonk circuit; his simultaneous rise to superstardom and descent into alcoholic hell. And at the heart of it all, his tumultuous marriage to the Queen of Country, Tammy Wynette.
