Co-written by George Jones and Lawton Williams, Color of the Blues was a Top 10 country hit by George Jones in 1958. It’s since been recorded by other artists including John Prine and Elvis Costello. I played fingerstyle on the video but a nice slow strum sounds good as well so play it the way that suits you best.
