Anyone have Showtime? Are you planning on watching Showtime's original series, "George & Tammy"? It is a dramatization of their time together. Here is a link that tells more about it: https://www.sho.com/george-and-tammy. Showtime describes the series as
Quote:
A limited series chronicling country music’s king and queen, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, whose wild and troubled love story inspired some of the most iconic music of all time.


The album has 26 tracks and it looks like Sony posted videos of all the tracks here: https://youtu.be/1sfzoRw3ki8

I won't comment on the singing because, in my opinion, the actor and actress are given an impossible task, emulate George Jones and Tammy Wynette. But to my ears the audio production itself sounds as good as it gets.

Any idea who are the musicians and producers behind the music? Anyone know where the tracks were recorded?

I have seen it, I have never seen Roy Acuff wear a cowboy hat. Georgettr from what I heard is a tech advisor. And she pretty sure about the movie pretty much true.

I think the actors do a pretty good job on the vocals considering how big the shoes are they are trying to fill. There will never be another George or Tammy. There will be imitators but they will the reaching for the sky. Much like the Elvis and Hank wanna be's. The tracks are great!
