Guitar Song Pt. I & Ii

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
2010 two CD release from the Country singer/songwriter. The Guitar Song. Is a 25 song album with thematically linked sets of songs dubbed the "Black Album" and the "White Album." "The original idea was always to do a double album," says Jamey. "The album is a tale. The first part of it is a very dark and sordid story. Everything after that is progressively more positive, reassuring and redemptive." As a lover of classic Country sounds, he regularly performs oldies in his stage shows. The Guitar Song contains "For the Good Times,", "Set 'Em Up Joe" and "Mental Revenge". "Lonely at the Top" is an undiscovered Keith Whitley song.

FROM THE ARTIST
"The road is where it's at. I love it. That's where you take country music. You don't get the message out there by sitting at the house. I go out there and meet the people. When I come back home to make an album, I don't want you to second-guess me. I'm telling you what is the right thing, because I'm the guy out there shaking their hands every night."

"Everything comes from God. So when I write, it is my gift to Him. It is my interpretation of what He gave me, the circumstances that I drew the material from. So when I get done with a song, it's not for my fans. It's certainly not for the industry, the trophies, the accolades and the plaques. It is straight from me to God."



ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jamey Johnson is a study in contrasts. He was raised in a devout household, yet he spent part of his youth drinking beer and playing songs at night on the Montgomery tombstone of Hank Williams. He is deadly serious about his music, yet has a wry and witty sense of humor. With his piercing pale-blue eyes and biker beard, he looks like a hell raiser, but he has the heart of a poet. He seems like a rebel, but Jamey Johnson spent eight years as a member of the highly disciplined U.S. Marine Corps Reserves.

Jamey arrived in Nashville on Jan. 1, 2000, spending every dime he had to make the move. In 2001-2004 he ran his own construction company. Performing in Nashville nightspots led to work singing songwriters' "demo" tapes on Music Row. Word of his talent got around. In 2005, he landed his first recording contract and had a hit with his song "The Dollar."

But when his record-company lost interest, and he went through a painful divorce, Jamey Johnson came to the darkest place in his life. The bright side of this time period was the creation of many of the compositions that became That Lonesome Song.

At first, he intended to put that record out himself. But when UMG Nashville's chairman and CEO Luke Lewis promised complete creative freedom, Jamey Johnson brought his distinctive sound to Mercury Records. In the two years since then, he has been burning up America's highways with his Kent Hardly Playboys band.
