Randy Travis - Tonight I'm Playin' Possum (With Joe Nichols) (Official Audio) 

Glad to be of the old generation. Seen all the great ones. Randy was chosen by George Jones to be an icon. He even told his wife about Randy, saying he is going to be a great singer.. Rightfully Randy has ever looked up to George, and in singing this song, given George a fitting farewell...

Just love Joe Nichols

This is an amazing song' 💖 Awesome' 😍.

This song was written in May of 2013. I had the privilege to get to know Randy at the time this was recorded. He had such an easy going way about him....never looking for star treatment or anything above anyone else. He is the most humble person I've ever met. I hope for the day when we cross paths again. Love the song Promises he does

Randy is one of the best and joe is so underrated

Unbelievably Good...songwriting & performance ❤️

These two voices sound so good together, it's a wonder they never recorded an album. Outstanding tribute to Deacon George.

100 proof country.

RANDY, you bring me to tears, I cry all the time.. Wonder what did I do wrong?

Welcome back Randy, God bless you. Loved your song "Tonight I'm Playing Possum". I especially love your gospels. Keep up the great job.

The story I heard was that at 5AM that last morning, Miss Nancy was at his side. He'd been in and out. All of a sudden, his eyes cleared up and he said in a voice clear and strong, Well, hello there. I've been waiting for you. My name's George Jones" . And with that, he was gone. I like to think that he was introducing himself to the angels escorting him home.

I have never stopped loving Randy no matter what they say about him in the news. He's the one that turned me to country. I wish I could talk to him and tell him a really funny story about what I went through to see him in concert the first time years ago.

God be with you Randy. Love your spiritual songs, they help you too. Love your voice and you. Take good care of yourself. God loves you very much!!

I'm 14 and loving your music been a fan for a while your my favorite country singer Randy!

Ill never stop loving you Randy.

Awesome song

Fantastic. Randy, you are the man. Stop fighting it. Joe, you are always amazing. Possum up in Heaven...thank you for EVERYTHING. May God bless you, guys.

Somebody should do a reaction to this song. Warning: if your idea of country music is Sam Hunt or Dan and Shay, you'll be stunned at pure talent matched with a great song, paying tribute to an absolute legend.

Exceptional Randy! A great duet with Joe.. What a beautiful tribute to George Jones. BTW, I have never heard you sound as wonderful as you did at George's funeral.. You still have it! And I am still your biggest fan. Please take care, Vera

Love this one 2022 still missing George

Keith Gattis wrote this. The very best tribute song to Jones, maybe best tribute song to anyone ever.

one of the greatest singing about the greatest to ever to do it.

This is a good drinkin song

This is exactly what my Daddy did the night the Possum passed ('cept he quit smokes and drinks a few years back). You got that lonely feeling down just right. Well done.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO GEORGE! LOVED BYALL. THANKS, RANDY

Welcome back Randy! You and Joe compliment each other well! George had a habit of biting his lip when he didn't like somethin...I bet ya he's grinning from ear to ear boys! (Not bitin his lip lol) Well done!

My favorite song by far !! This is what country should be!!! Not crossover or hip hop but true country Thank you Mr Travis

Randy You Rock! I am So Happy when I hear anything you Sing... You are Country!!! No one in the World Like You Randy!!!!

Can't believe that I had the Country Weekly edition with the memorial to Deacon George, and I missed this. On the back cover, yet. New classic.

I'm so happy to hear that it put out a new album ..... I miss his " twangy style " ... I hope that he is doing okay after ..... life hit him hard .... but he's only human and life happens to the best of us ...... love you R.T ..... good to hear some new songs.... I love them all ....

I sure miss you Randy I sure did like your sound

I'm gonna need a strong one, It's gonna be a long one In case you haven't heard, he stopped loving her today So I'm dusting off the vinyl It's gonna be an all nighter I'm warning you now, from here on out Boys, I'll be the DJ So, find a drink or find the road I'm about to drop a needle on some ole No-Show You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle I'm going deep and going long Till I run that needle through every last song He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em Tonight, I'm playing Possum I'll bet he stepped right up singin', Right now, he's bringin' Every angel in that House up there to tears So, close the doors and lock 'em up And if you see me chokin' up Just dim the lights, but boys, Tonight, what happens here stays here So, find a drink or find the road I'm about to drop a needle on some ole No-Show You're gonna want an ashtray and a bottle I'm going deep and going long Till I run that needle through every last song He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em Boys, tonight, I'm playing Possum "Bartender's Blues" and "Why, Baby, Why" "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes", "Still Doing Time" I'm going deep, I'm going long Till I run that needle through every last song He ever sung, so pour 'em strong and smoke 'em if you got 'em Tonight, I'm playing Possum Tonight, I'm playing Possum I'm gonna need a strong one It's gonna be a long one In case you haven't heard, he stopped loving her today

Alan Jackson already wrote this song in 1991, it’s called “Playing Possum”.
