My "J" cd's

[Music Head]

This is a game/contest.
Anyone can participate.
The object, guess the artists in my cd collection.
Obviously members who have been here awhile know my taste better than others.
That doesn't mean anyone can't throw a guess out.
I will provide clues for each artist until they are guessed.
You only get 1 guess per clue, make it count.
This thread is for artists beginning with the letter J.
It is either a band or an individual.
Proper names are alphabetized by last name.
My J collection consists of 13 artists and 30 albums.
6 of the artists, I have multiple albums.
Wish I could have put the I's in with these, but we needed them for a tie breaker in the H's.
You only have to guess the artist not the album.
Clues for each artist will be posted in random order.
I will post reviews of the albums after they have been guessed, unless I have already done so.
I will fill in this list as they are guessed or posted
Come on, do it, it'll be fun

i dont get the 'possum' clue?????

thought you would have known that
one of his alias's

from theboot

When you think of George Jones, several things come to mind: classic country hit maker, multiple industry award winner, ex-husband of the late Tammy Wynette, and, of course, those nicknames: ‘The Possum’ and ‘No Show Jones.’

“When you’re called ‘The Possum’ … it stays with me. There’s no way I can ever live it down,” George tells The Boot with a laugh. “T. Tommy Cutrer was a disc jockey. Everybody loved him. He was one of the old-timers on the all-night shows along with Ralph Emery, and those two got started calling me ‘The Possum.’

“I had an album out with a side view of me with a crew cut. I was very young, and my nose looked more turned up, and I’ve got little beady eyes so I guess I did look like a possum! So they both laid into me and called me ‘Possum,’ and it got everywhere. There was no way I could stop that, so (I thought) I’ll just have to live with that!”

‘No Show Jones’ was a nickname that also stuck with George for many years, due to his failure to show up to many of his concerts. The country icon has admitted that drugs became a bad habit that he let overshadow his career.

“I think about the dates that I missed, and I’ll see those mamas and daddies and some grandkids walking down the old country dirt road … walking to town maybe a mile, and they’ve been saving their money for a couple months just to get there and to be let down … I guess that hurts me worse than anything else,” George laments. “‘No Show Jones’ — I never did like that, but I played around with it with a song … made peace with it. I didn’t think I’d ever live it down, but it’s gotten so much better. [laughs] Nobody calls me ‘No Show’ any more.”

btw
that auto-bio I read of George was a great book
so damn depressing how he treated people
yet he lived to regret it
and confesses all in the book
