Jamey Johnson

Hey everybody! So I know it's been some time. I'm sorry about that. Well, I just gotta rave about this cat for a bit.

Jamey Johnson got his artist career going with a major label a couple years ago. You might remember a song called "The Dollar" about a father always working and the son giving him $1 to help out so he wouldn't have to spend so much time at work. Well, shortly after that the label dropped a few new artists and Jamey was one of them. Could have been a really sad day for country music...

However, get this after that, Jamey Johnson went on to write or co-write a string of songs that were getting recorded by singers like George Strait. Most of us would kill for talent like Jamey's. It wasn't "all good" after the drop though. The same day the label dropped him, his girlfriend left him. Talk about a day that makes you question loyalty. And the next year was pretty dark.

He is now with a new label and has a new album called "That Lonesome Song". WOW, it is one of the greatest albums in a long time. Look him up on myspace or youtube to hear some of these great songs: "In Color", "That Lonesome Song", "High Cost of Living", "Back to Caroline". There are so many more. Just take my word for it. If you are a fan of Walon Jennings, or if you have any real taste at all, you will Love Jamey Johnson.


Thanks,
John
