Jones, GeorgeBorn 1931 in Saratoga, Texas. Disc jockey on KTRM (Beaumont, Texas) in 1956. |
 Source: Jim Hilmar |
Notes:
- On the mail-order releases, "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Yes, I Know Why" sound like they were recorded by Jones. The artist on "Blue Suede Shoes" sounds like Leon Payne. "Folsom Prison Blues" is credited to Jones on Dixie 502 but may actually be by Payne.
- Chronology of the mail-order releases uncertain.
- For religious recordings by this artist, see
