Amid scores of albums on both LP and CD, only one "official" live George Jones album exists: 1985's First Time Live! This in-concert performance, introduced by Alan Jackson, is actually the soundtrack of the long-available Jones concert video Live in Tennessee, taped in Knoxville in the early 1990s. Jones, newly signed to MCA at the time, performs a muscular, vigorous set heavy on hits from his 1972-1991 Epic period and adds his MCA single, the maternal tribute "She Loved a Lot in Her Time." He reaches back further for his 1963 hit "The Race Is On" and a ballad medley mixing "The Grand Tour" with earlier material. Lest there be any question as to the era, while introducing "A Picture of Me (Without You)," he mentions Lorrie Morgan's "recent" 1991 hit remake. While Live with the Possum is an excellent document of early-'90s Jones, a question remains: having arisen Lazarus-like, voice intact after his near-fatal SUV accident in March 1999, why didn't Asylum record the later, triumphant George Jones in concert? --Rich Kienzle
