George Jones lived like a Southern gentleman in an immaculately well-appointed manor home fit for one of the greatest country singers in the history of the genre. Pictures from Jones former residence outside of Nashville show an awe-inspiring mansion that has all of the Southern touches you expect from a country music king.
Jones and his wife, Nancy, lived in a spectacular mansion in Franklin, Tenn., an affluent rural community outside of Nashville that is home to a number of country music stars. Built in 1993, the massive 9,704-square-foot mansion sits on 24 acres of prime farmland, but prior to Jones death in 2013, the 4-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom manor home occupied 80 acres.
Alan Jackson and his wife Denise have long been one of country music fans favorite couples, but there s a lot more to their decades-long love story than meets the eye.
The couple met in Newnan, Ga., as teenagers, and they were high school sweethearts. Denise didn t even have to change her name when they wed on Dec. 15, 1979; her maiden name was also Jackson.
Denise played a major role in helping her husband achieve his dreams of country music stardom when, early on in their marriage when she was working as a flight attendant, she spotted Glen Campbell at the airport. She approached him and explained that her husband was an aspiring country singer, and Campbell gave her a business card for his Nashville publishing company. That company signed Alan Jackson to his first songwriting deal and helped the young newcomer establish valuable contacts in town.
