re: I'd Be Better Off in a Pine Box- question

Doug Stone with an incredible one hit (?) wonder. He write it?

To answer OP George Jones yes. It would be up there with "he Stopped Loving.....".

His late 1980's voice could still have pulled that off well. But he was easing into "National Treasure Status" and doing silly shite like High Tech Redneck. But he was George fricking Jones. He can pick what he wants.

I recall The Longhorn in Toomey when thinking of that song. Much grab assing and tongue wrasslin' to that song in 1992.
