We were so lucky to hear two of country music’s best singers, George Jones and Ricky Van Shelton, sing together in a special song called “It Hurts As Much in Texas (As It Did in Tennessee).” This isn’t just any song—it’s like a story told with lots of heart and feeling.
You can watch them sing it in the video below!
George had a voice that sounded sad and strong, like he really knew what the song was about. Ricky’s voice was warm and smooth, and when they sang together, it felt perfect. Their voices mixed so well that it made the song touch your heart. The words tell about losing someone you love, and how that hurts no matter where you are—Texas, Tennessee, or anywhere. They sang it like they’d felt it themselves, and it sounded so real.
This song shows why people love old-style country music so much. It’s not just about fun tunes—it’s about true feelings and stories that could belong to anyone. When you listen to George and Ricky, it’s like going back to a time when country music was simple and full of real life, with sadness, love, and amazing singing.
We miss George Jones, who passed away, but his voice will always be remembered. And Ricky, your fans still love your music and hope you’ll sing more someday!
