LOS ANGELES (January 28, 2013)--George Jones has enlisted the help of Dolly Parton as he works on his final album, telling Billboard that Parton is writing most of the music and he's just waiting for her to tell him what to sing and when to sing it.

Jones will perform his final concerts as "The Grand Tour" begins Saturday outside Memphis, Tenn.

Jones has been reflecting on his career and says he wants to be remembered "as a singer who stayed true to country music and did it my way."
