Country singer Lynn Anderson was absent from last week's (Nov. 22) star-studded George Jones tribute show, but for reasons that were out of her control. She was involved in a scary car accident while on her way to the event. Anderson's SUV blew a tire, which is always terrifying and dangerous.

My absolute favorite part of the CMA awards last night was the tribute to George Jones. Alan Jackson and George Strait did an amazing job! I wish they would have done this closer to the "Entertainer of the Year" award. This would have been a perfect closing to an amazing awards show...

We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.

If George Jones were still alive, he'd likely be mighty pleased to see the talented roster for his farewell concert.

George Jones will forever be an icon in country music. And now, with the release of 'God's Country: George Jones And Friends,' fans will be able to remember the singer in a very special way.

A man and his best friend -- reunited!

The country music community has been grieving since George Jones died in April. To help soften the blow -- and perhaps to cope with his feelings -- Randy Travis dedicated a new song called 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' to a man many call the greatest country singer of all time. Joe Nichols joins Travis on this powerful duet.

The life story of one of country music's most celebrated singers is going to be told in a feature film. George Jones and his wife Nancy were working with a screenwriter in the years leading up to the legend's death. The biopic has the singer's blessing, and now has a production company to produce it.

Randy Travis has recorded a tribute song with Joe Nichols called "Tonight I'm Playin' Possum".  (Possum was George Jones' nickname.)

This story just warmed my heart.  It is never easy to lose a family member and it was really hard, and my heart is still very tender, over the loss of my Dad.  When I read this story, tears came to my eyes and my heart warmed.

The late George Jones was a legend in country music, and his impact on the genre will live on in more ways than one. Soon, a monument will be constructed for Jones at Woodlawn Cemetery, where he is buried.

George Jones' death has sent millions of country music fans searching through old photographs and memories to revisit a time when they fell under the spell of the Possum.
