Radio and television personalities Lorianne Crook & Charlie Chase, Ralph Emery, Bill Cody, Larry Black, Rick Marino & Lisa Manning, Bill Mack, and Keith Bilbrey are all set to take part in George Jones’ final Nashville concert. The event will be held on Friday, Nov. 22.
“Throughout my career I have made lots of friends,” says Jones. “I would not have had a career that lasted 50 years without all of these great radio personalities. They always were so good to me and always made me feel like I was somebody whether I had a song on the radio or not. I am forever grateful to them.”
In addition, country legend Barbara Mandrell will make a rare appearance to celebrate Jones’ career.
“I love Barbara! She asked me to sing on her song ‘I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool’ in 1981 and that song soon became a #1 record for us. I was honored to be part of her Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony a few years ago, as she is just one of the greatest singers of all time,” adds Jones. “She is not just a good singer, but she is my good friend. I am so happy that Barbara is coming to the Nashville show.”
Although still eight months away, more artists will continue to be announced.
