This is some real stuff, I can't listen to the radio anymore because commercial is hoggin it up this guy doesn't give a shit if he's on the radio or going to hell all he knows is that he loves writing and singing his and other outlaws songs.
This dude has made a lot of Jewish millionaires on music row really fucking nervous because they know he won't conform and he doesn't look like a Chippendale model, If anyone was wondering what the "real deal" looks like here's your answer...
@gracie4401 There's no one out there that can hold a candle to him, there's nothing he can't play, all the while giving reverence to the artist that pave the way......
If I were in his band playing keyboards, I would be backing him up all the way with this classic Merle Haggard song. I am from the old school as I play the old honky tonk country piano of yesterday.
He has a great country voice, it is too bad that the radio is not playing him as much as they need to. His music is more country than any artist today. It was too bad that his band did not also play along with him it would had sound much better?
So since he's doing a cover, he doesn't mean what he's saying? How is that "real"?
Jamey Johnson is definitely better than a lot of the crap coming out of Nashville, but you can't tell me he's not putting forth an image. The hard-living, long haired scruffy tough guy bit has been around since Lynyrd Skynyrd. Jamey and Kid Rock are the best Nashville has to offer now, because they are out of ideas.
Typical country fans who can't take an opposing opinion.
@cmosser142 Everyone has an image. Everyone is putting forth an image. But taking into account Jamey Johnson was a marine, worked years in construction, had wife divorce him, had alcohol problems, got himself together, was struggling songwriter, all kinda leans in the direction that this is not quite a "bit". Maybe, just maybe, his songwriting success has allowed him to be who he wants to be. BTW - I am def. not a typical country fan. Not even close.
@neil3467 Nicely put sir. Obviously this person hasn't listened to "The Guitar Song" or seen Jamey in concert. He is as real as any other person walking around. Not afraid to put a gospel song on his album although he is "outlaw" sings songs about things he's gone through etc. BTW - I probably am a typical country fan. haha.
@cmosser142 Too gruff, whatever. As far as too self-referencing, the song is pretty much an old country standard done by many (famously by Merle Haggard). I am guessing you were ignorant to that fact, otherwise the self-referencing comment carries no weight?
@cmosser142 i do believe you have no idea what your talking about,this guy is far and away the most real artist in country music today and in a LONGtime for that matter if you are thinkin jason aldean or some of that bunch is the real thing your wrong,cotton candy melts when exposed to water but a rock stays a rock.
@cmosser142 you said this as if you have known the man your whole life? what is "too gruff" or "too self-referencing"? have you ever wrote a song at all? have you ever tried to write a song about something that ISNT part of who you are? or are you merely pontificating about something you really have no idea about? might be hard for you to imagine, that there are men like JJ in the world that never sing or write songs at all.... the diff is that JJ can, and does, and will continue to, despite you
