A sold-out concert celebrating a country music legend just added country’s hottest new star. Rapper-gone-country-singer Jelly Roll, fresh off winning three CMT Music Awards for his debut country single “Son of a Sinner,” has been added to the bill of “Still Playin’ Possum.” The concert’s title is a reference to one of Jones’ nicknames. Other final additions to the Jones tribute concert, include: Country Hall of Fame vocal group Oak Ridge Boys; “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” singer Riley Green; ‘80s star Janie Fricke; bluegrass gospel combo The Isaacs; and “Follow Me” country-rapper Uncle Kracker.

Set for April 25 at the Propst Arena at Huntsville, Alabama’s Von Braun Center, “Still Playin’ Possum” will feature artists performing songs from Jones’ Country Hall of Fame career. The Texas native’s signature hits include “She Thinks I Still Care,” “The Grand Tour,” “Tender Years” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today.”

Reflecting Jones’ influence on country music and popularity among his peers, “Still Playin’ Possum” is piled high with big names. In addition to today’s additions, the lineup boasts: Wynonna, Randy Travis, Brad Paisley, Tanya Tucker, Dierks Bentley, Jamey Johnson, Justin Moore, Lorrie Morgan, Mark Chesnutt, Michael Ray, Sam Moore, Trace Adkins, Tracy Byrd, Tracy Lawrence, Travis Tritt, Aaron Lewis, Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr, Dillon Carmichael, Gretchen Wilson, Joe Nichols and Sara Evans.

The concert is being filmed for a TV special, for which the network and broadcast date have yet to be announced. Jones’ widow, Nancy Jones, who was married to Jones for more than 30 years, is executive producer of the event.

In a statement, Nancy Jones says, “Thank you to the many fans that are traveling from all over the world to be in Huntsville, Alabama, for this special night. I think the team of producers has put together some incredible moments that will surprise everyone. People will be laughing, crying, and singing along to so many of the songs performed that night. It will be an emotional night not just for me, but also for these artists as so many were very close to George. I hope everyone that attends or gets to see it on television will enjoy it and remember their favorite George song.”

George Jones scored his first number one hit in 1959 with the single “White Lightning.” Jones’ career zoomed in the ‘70s but later in the decade bottomed out as he struggled with alcohol abuse, earning another nickname, “No Show Jones.” However in the early ‘80s, Jones got his career back on track and enjoyed success deep into the ‘90s. And with Nancy in his corner, got his life back on track too. She’s planning to publish a book about their life together soon.

In addition to celebrating Jones’ music and memory, “Still Playin’ Possum” is helping raise money to benefit two Huntsville Police Department Officers recently shot by an assault-rifle-wielding suspect in the line of duty: Garrett Crumby, who was killed, and Albert Morin, who was critically injured. Here’s how: Through April 24, signed guitars from “Still Playin’ Possum” artists can be purchased through Concerts 4 A Cause. Also, a pair of Jones tribute concert front row tickets are being auctioned off 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 14 on radio station 93.3 FM Nash Icon in support of the officers. Proceeds from the auction and sold autographed guitars will directly benefit Crumby and Morin, according to a press release.

Although the concert is sold out, there’s another chance to experience the event’s energy in-person. The night before “Still Playin’ Possum,” Nancy Jones is hosting a VIP dinner at the Von Braun Center Ballroom with appearances from country notables Randy Travis, Jeannie Pruett, Billy Yates, Tony Jackson and others to be announced soon. VIP dinner tickets are $200 and include a sit-down meal as well as a photo-op with Nancy Jones.

One of the reasons Huntsville’s Von Braun Center was picked for the concert was Jones was to perform at that venue as part of his farewell tour before his 2013 passing. Plus, the Jones’ were fond of Huntsville, Nancy has told AL.com, a city the singer performed in several times over his career.
