You've Still Got A Place In My Heart
''You've Still Got a Place in My Heart'' is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1984 on the Epic Records label. Background ''You've Still Got A Place In My Heart'' was released the same year that Jones finally got sober at 52 years old. His wife Nancy told ''The Texas Monthly'' in 1994 that the first show Jones played sober in Birmingham, Alabama "was terrible. He was like a scared puppy. 'I can’t do it,' he said. 'I can’t go on.' He was begging and breaking down and dying for a drink. And when he got out there on that stage, and after the first song, he looked out to me in the audience, and he seemed like such a poor, lost, wounded soul that I burst into tears." Jones, who had been written off for dead countless times in the previous decade, stated to the ''Associated Press'' in June of that year, "All my life it seems like I’ve been running from something. If I knew what it was, maybe I could run in the right direction. But I always ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum". Jones has been called and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013. Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. His earliest influences were Roy Acuff and Bill Monroe ...

Sobriety
Sobriety is the condition of not having any measurable levels or effects from alcohol or drugs. Sobriety is also considered to be the natural state of a human being at birth. A person in a state of sobriety is considered sober. Organizations of the temperance movement have encouraged sobriety as being normative in society. In a treatment setting, sobriety is the achieved goal of independence from consuming alcohol. As such, sustained abstinence is a prerequisite for sobriety. Early in abstinence, residual effects of alcohol consumption can preclude sobriety. These effects are labeled "PAWS," or "post-acute-withdrawal syndrome." Someone who abstains, but has a latent desire to resume use, is termed a "Dry drunk" and not considered truly sober. An abstainer may be subconsciously motivated to resume alcohol consumption, but for a variety of reasons, abstains (e.g. a medical or legal concern precluding use). Sobriety has more specific meanings within specific contexts, such as t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
