The final cut on That Lonesome Song—kind of a concept album meets musical manifesto—is titled "Between Jennings and Jones," which is where Jamey Johnson finds himself shelved in the CD racks, and also how he describes his sound. Actually, there's way more Jennings than Jones, with two cuts covered from Waylon's classic Dreaming My Dreams (the title track and "The Door Is Always Open"), another paying tribute to him by name ("The Last Cowboy") and several others borrowing liberally from his sound. Yet in terms of both concept and sound, the bare-bones intimacy of this bittersweet divorce album remind more of Willie Nelson's Phases and Stages (at least side one, the man's side), with the opening "High Cost of Living" ("ain’t nothing like the cost of living high") setting the "Bloody Mary Morning" tone, extended by the sad country waltz of "Angel" and continuing through the down-and-out epiphany of the title track. Only the comparatively lightweight novelty of "Women" indicates that this is the same guy who wrote "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" for Trace Adkins. --Don McLeese
Album Description
He could be basking in his songwriting accolades, but Jamey Johnson remains a restlessly creative maverick. Jamey is the co-writer of the CMA and ACM 2007 Song of the Year "Give It Away," recorded by George Strait. Trace Adkins, George Jones and Joe Nichols have also recorded his songs. But instead of sitting at home counting his royalty checks, Jamey Johnson recorded more than 40 songs during the past year. Not content with providing hits for others, the singer-songwriter has a powerful drive to sing, record and perform. "Writing is not enough for me," says this intense artist. "I did not come here to just be a writer. I live to play....I'm not here to take a stab at it. I am going to DO it." Following a deep period of isolation and introspection, Jamey Johnson entered the recording studio in April 2007. Within months, Jamey emerged with That Lonesome Song, a collection of extraordinary compositions that is equally noteworthy for its lyrical craftsmanship and its strikingly original sound. The first single from the album is "In Color" and is available in the Amazon MP3 store.

 Hit for my husband and kids! February 17, 2010
B. Pulver (Jackson, MI)
This has been an excellent addition to our collection. Jamey Johnson sings traditional country music that captures the audience. I have two younger daughters who also love to listen to this with their dad, especially "In Color". There is some language in some songs to be aware of for younger listeners. This has become one of his favorites as it ties closely to his favorites from the past such as Waylon Jennings, and Hank William's Jr.
Great Sound!!! February 9, 2010
Bobby Norton (OKLAHOMA)
Jamey is a throwback to all the classic country "bigs". Waylon, Cash, Hag. He tells a story that we (I mean hardworking, blue-collar, everyday people) can relate to and connect with. Cant wait for the follow up.
 new country "outlaw" February 6, 2010
John M. Featherston (Nashville, TN)
This singer is interesting: dark & humorous sides, with a haunting yet gruff voice. Language a bit graphic, but he's reminiscent of country singer like G. Jones, M. Haggard, W. Nelson, W. Jennings, etc. Not a huge country music fan, so it takes a lot to impress me. This guy writes interesting songs, too.
Haunting Sound..I love it!! February 3, 2010
Robert C. Peay (Greensboro, NC)
Jamey Johnson tells a story with every song. Whether it is about prison, getting high, or trying to survive, every song is "in color." I love his voice, it reminds me of Johnny Cash and it melodious, yet haunting. This is a great cd and I see him being very successful in the future.
ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY! January 30, 2010
Nancy Hansen (Gladstone, MI)
I watched Jamey Johnson on one of the many entertainment shows I watch throughout the year and heard him sing, "Between Jennings and Jones" so I googled him and found his website. His music was very raw and extremely good. I would reccomend this cd to anyone. I am not usually a country music fan but I love this cd and will buy anymore that he makes. Changed my mind somewhat about country music! Thx, Nancy Hansen
