NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country music legend Moe Bandy honors George Jones for the 45th anniversary of “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by releasing his version as the latest single from his upcoming album, ‘Songs I Missed.’ Written by Bobby Braddock and Curley Putman, the song became a #1 hit for Jones in 1980 and was ranked among Rolling Stone‘s ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time.’ The single premiered yesterday by Dillon Weldon & Drifting Cowboy Podcast and is now available on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Spotify. Produced by Jimmy Capps, ‘Songs I Missed’ is a collection of Bandy’s renditions of timeless country classics and will be released on May 2nd, 2025, via StarVista Music.
“Every country singer, if they’re being completely honest, would probably admit they wish they had recorded ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today,’” says Moe Bandy. “That being said, no one could have delivered it the way George Jones did. The heart and emotion he poured into every note made it truly his own. We can all wish, but that song found its rightful owner. I loved George and wanted to honor him with this tribute.”
One of America’s all-time leading classic country music artists, Moe Bandy’s long string of hits includes “Bandy The Rodeo Clown,” “Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life,” “Till I’m Too Old To Die Young,” “Americana,” “It’s A Cheatin’ Situation,” “Just Good Ol’ Boys,” “Barstool Mountain,” “I Cheated Me Right Out of You,” “I Just Started Hatin’ Cheatin’ Songs Today,” “Rodeo Romeo,” “You Haven’t Heard the Last of Me,” “Holding The Bag” and dozens of other chart-toppers.
Whether writing, recording new songs, or traveling the world performing, Moe has one of the busiest schedules in show business. He has amassed 10 #1 hits, 40 Top Ten hits, and 5 Gold Albums. He has also won the ACM Song of the Year award, the ACM Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year award, the American Video of the Year award, and the ACM and CMA Duet of the Year awards.

ABOUT MOE BANDY
Moe Bandy’s country music accomplishments include ten No. 1 hit songs, many Top Ten hits, five Gold records, and numerous ACM and CMA Awards. He started his recording career while he was a sheet metal worker in San Antonio, Texas, but after a decade of hard labor, Bandy traded his sheet metal for Gold albums. In the mid-seventies, when the country pop sounds of Kenny Rogers, John Denver, and the outlaw styles of Waylon and Willie were all the rage, traditionalist Moe Bandy came along. Bandy recently penned an autobiography, ‘Moe Bandy: Lucky Me,’ which is now available at moebandybook.com.
