Introduction

“One Angel” by Rory Feek is more than just a song; it’s a heartfelt tribute that delves deep into themes of love, loss, and enduring faith. Written by Sandy Emory Lawrence, a close friend of Rory and his late wife, Joey Feek, the song captures the profound emotions experienced during Joey’s battle with cancer and her subsequent passing in 2016.

The lyrics poignantly express the frustration and sorrow of witnessing a loved one endure immense suffering, questioning the fairness of such pain. Lines like “One finger for the preacher ’cause I don’t believe the Jesus that you love so much would put you through such pain” reflect a deep struggle with faith amidst tragedy.

Rory’s delivery of “One Angel” is raw and sincere, allowing listeners to feel the depth of his grief and love for Joey. The song serves as a love letter to her, honoring her spirit while acknowledging the enduring grief and longing that accompany such a profound loss.

In April 2021, country music icon Dolly Parton joined Rory for a duet version of “One Angel,” adding her ethereal vocals to the track. This collaboration amplified the song’s emotional resonance, as Parton had been a lifelong musical inspiration to Joey.”One Angel” stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and the hope of reunion beyond this life. It’s a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, offering solace and a sense of shared understanding.

‘Living together with Johnny Cash was like starring in a real-life sitcom!’ In a heartfelt bid to stay close to the love of his life, June Carter, Cash leased a quaint one-bedroom apartment in Madison, Tennessee, and not long after, his longtime friend and musical partner Waylon Jennings moved in, turning the place into a hilarious “Odd Couple” experiment—Jennings dutifully tackled the dust and dishes while Cash whipped up legendary meals, only to leave a trail of flour and laughter in his wake. This whirlwind of camaraderie, loyalty, and perfectly imperfect chaos echoes through every chord of “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, a song that June Carter herself helped ignite with her fiery spirit and boundless devotion

On June 3, 2025, a bronze statue of George Jones was unveiled outside Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Nancy personally chose a moment from his early sixties—clad in a Nudie suit and cradling his own guitar—to be immortalized in bronze, believing this was the image George “wanted to be remembered by most,” after he’d conquered his addiction and thrown himself wholeheartedly into his music. In the words of his own classic “Same Ole Me,” it’s a tribute to the man who, through every high and low, stayed true to himself.

George Jones didn’t let a missing car key stop him from a liquor run. Twice. In the late ’60s, his wife hid every set of car keys to keep him from driving drunk. But George spotted his riding lawnmower under the porch light—keys in the ignition—and drove it 8 miles to the liquor store at 5 mph. Years later, married to Tammy Wynette, he pulled the same stunt. She woke at 1 a.m. to find him gone… and found him 10 miles away, mower parked outside a bar. He looked up and said, “Well fellas, here she is now. My little wife. I told you she’d come after me.” The legend lives on: Vince Gill’s “One More Last Chance” nods to the story—“She might have took my car keys, but she forgot about my old John Deere.” And in the video? Vince passes George Jones… riding a lawnmower. You can’t make this stuff up and these are our true country legends!

On February 3, 1959, Waylon Jennings narrowly avoided the Beechcraft Bonanza crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, that claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and “The Big Bopper” J.P. Richardson—he’d given up his seat to the ailing Richardson and taken the tour bus instead. Haunted by survivor’s guilt, Jennings later recorded the spoken-word tribute “The Stage (Stars in Heaven)” to honor his fallen friends and the enduring legacy of “The Day the Music Died”
