Mike Judge Presents Tales from the Tour Bus - George Jones and Tammy Wynette part 1 (2017)


Made for Cinemax , airing October 6th in the US.
Season 1. Episode 3.
The story : George Jones is a pretty ordinary name for an anything but ordinary country music star.
Many artists loved him and he always had lots of their respect.
From Vidor , Texas , George had a very humble upbringing in a very small backwoods part of the world where much moonshine was made.
It's no wonder George's first number one hit was about moonshine.
The Adams brothers worked for George for a while before getting fired by him and even Johnny Paycheck worked with George a handful of times but the two fought constantly.
One time while riding his tour bus , George and the Adams brothers heard Tammy Wynette singing 'Apartment Number 9' on the radio , a song Johnny Paycheck had written.
Tammy Wynette , born Virginia Wynette Pugh is from Tremont , Mississippi.
There she found herself working in the cotton fields and although she hated it , it was work.
So mundane and boring , while picking cotton Tammy did her job while singing.
She also dreamed of one day being on the stage with an idol of hers , George Jones.
Tammy always needed a man in her life and there always was one.
Her first marriage was an unsuccessful one which produced three children.
While being married , Tammy went to school for hairdressing but suffered bouts of depression and at one point endured shock treatment.
But she always kept her dream of going to Nashville and one day , she took her three children , left her husband and off to Nashville she went.
There she met many people but one became her second husband.
He was writing songs for her and actually introduced her to George.
Tammy and George began working together and grew close.
One day when George was at Tammy and her second husbands for dinner  , he seen how verbally abusive he was to Tammy.
That's when George told off Tammys hubby and the two took off together , never looking back.
George and Tammy now were making much music together as well as touring up a storm.
But George loved to drink and Tammy was straight.
She put up with his shenanigans for many years , along with many other people , but in time things became just too out of hand for Tammy.
