Billy Yates first cut as a songwriter was the George Jones' smash hit, I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair. Says George Jones: "When I asked the question, 'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes', it was before I knew about Billy Yates. When it comes to great country singers and great country songwriters they don't get any better than Billy. I guess you could say the ol' possum is a Billy Yates fan"! Getting George Jones to record your song is perhaps the most coveted honor for any Nashville songwriter. Those who have written countless hits for other artists openly admit that a track on a Jones album is their greatest dream.
