That Lonesome Song

Additional That Lonesome Song Information

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.

What Customers Say About That Lonesome Song:

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.

Nelson, W. Language a bit graphic, but he's reminiscent of country singer like G. This singer is interesting: dark & humorous sides, with a haunting yet gruff voice. Jennings, etc. Jones, M. Haggard, W. Not a huge country music fan, so it takes a lot to impress me. This guy writes interesting songs, too.

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.

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. I am not usually a country music fan but I love this cd and will buy anymore that he makes. His music was very raw and extremely good. I would reccomend this cd to anyone. Changed my mind somewhat about country music. Thx, Nancy Hansen

It's drank, snorted and smoked things that would have killed most humans. It's honest, unflinching songwriting and killer musicianship. This is music that lives and breathes. It's Jamey Johnson and he's a throwback to the days when country music had a wild side. Okay, I'm done now. It's yesterday's clothes and this morning's headache. Ol Waylon must be smiling from wherever he ended up.

Don't believe me. It's got whiskey on it's breath and smells of cigarette smoke. It's unusual for me to play something over and over and over again but I ain't even close to tired of this. It's tinged with regret, dealing with a broken heart but at the same time slightly amused. He's pretty accurate when he sings that his music is somewhere between Jennings and Jones. Trace Adkins and George Strait have recorded his music.
