Randy Travis has recorded a tribute song to George Jones called “Tonight I’m Playin’ Possum.”

“Tonight I’m Playin’ Possum” was recorded by both Travis and Joe Nichols. This is the first song from Randy’s new album that will be released this fall.
“It was an honor when I received a request to record this tribute to George Jones, and after I heard how well Keith Gattis had written “Tonight I’m Playin’ Possum,” I was excited to record it. Thanks to Joe Nichols for coming in and helping on this project,” says Randy Travis.

Travis sang the new song at the CMA Music Festival during the Remembering George Jones panel session on Friday which included the legendary singer’s widow, Nancy Jones, longtime drummer Bobby Birkhead, John Rich, Jamey Johnson and host Joseph Hudak of Country Weekly.
