If you have been reading this blog, you know I am a big fan of Jamey Johnson. He is one the few country artists around today who is writing and making music that has a connection to the great country music of the past. With his music, Johnson has been quick to acknowledge the great artists that influenced him and with this album he recognizes one of the great songwriters of all time Hank Cochran. In my post from Dec of 2008, I wrote: ' Stop the presses. I have found the country album of the year. It is That Lonesome Song by Jamey Johnson.
