Jamey
Johnson
AmericaJR.com
has teamed up with the Clutch Cargo's and Mercury
Nashville Records to give you the chance to win
a pair of tickets to his concert on April 16 and
a copy of his latest album "That Lonesome
Song". Special guest Ryan Bingham will open
the show. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m.
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.
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
set burns with the emotional heat of songs such
as “Angel” and “That Lonesome
Song.” Turn one corner and you’ll
find the dark humor of “Mowin’ Down
the Roses” and “Women.” Turn
another and you’ll find the soft contemplation
of “The Last Cowboy” or “Place
Out on the Ocean.” Jamey’s life sets
the tone for the autobiographical “Stars
in Alabama” and “Between Jennings
and Jones.”
And
speaking of Waylon Jennings, Jamey pays tribute
to his idol by covering “Dreaming My Dreams”
and “The Door Is Always Open.” At
the heart of That Lonesome Song is a trio of great
story songs. The frank lyric of “High Cost
of Living” paints a dramatic portrait of
a man who hits bottom and winds up in prison.
