Stand By Your Ex: George Jones and Tammy Wynette
Mark Cooper, MOJO, October 1995
Wait till I get you home...to Splitsville, Tennessee, where George Jones and Tommy Wynette have resided since the classic song D.I.V.O.R.C.E. came true following perhaps the most unreasonable behaviour in matrimonial history. But now they’re back... Mark Cooper meets the greatest country couple of all.
