“WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC REMEMBERS, IT FEELS LIKE FAMILY.” Alan Jackson didn’t step onto that stage to show off—he stepped on to say thank you. And when Nancy Jones slid her arm through his, the room seemed to pause. You could feel it—the quiet mix of love, loss, and pride that only George Jones’ name can bring.
