"I've tried to air no one's dirty laundry but my own."
"We're just telling it like it is," reflects George Jones in a recent interview. He's worked for two years with Tom Carter, whose other co-authored autobiographies (among them, singers Ronnie Milsap and Reba McEntire and music publisher Buddy Killen) have earned him six bestsellers.
