George Jones goes back to studio for 'The Rock'

(Launch) - George Jones is set to release a brand-new album Sept. 11, just one day before his 70th birthday. Working in the studio with well-known producer Keith Stegall, who produces Jones' buddy, Alan Jackson, "The Possum" has completed eight songs with just a few more to add to complete the project. The new CD will be Jones' first for the BNA/Bandit banner and will be called "The Rock: Stone Cold Country 2001." The first single from the album is a song called "The Man He Was," written by "Little Girl" writer Harley Allen and John Wiggins. Also on the project is "50,000 Names," written by Jamie O'Hara, a song referencing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
