Jamey Johnson: That Lonesome Song

After my last post of ranting about the sub par work coming out of Music City, I feel I should tip my hat to a man that is carrying on the tradition of real men in music, twangy bar room guitar, and tough lyrics, Jamey Johnson. I first became aware of Jamey Johnson when seeing him performing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, with hair on his shoulders, a huge beard, a great back up band, rumbling guitar, and lyrics about things he has thrown away, I was immediatly interested. It was like looking at video of Waylon Jennings from the 70s. Upon buying Johnson's acclaimed "That Lonesome Song" album, my faith was restored in hard hitting country music with a message. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.
