he fits in more with waylon,david allan coe and johnny paycheck,i seen him in southhaven at the willienelson country throwdown tour and got the chance to meet him and family he is a humble nice guy
have seen bocephus 8 times waylon 3 g.jones 4 hag 3 and many others this guy is one more great album from being mentioned with these guys and not to many have heard his very first album they call me country and it is much better than the dollar
Country is being flooded with pop, real country singers music is pushed off the charts by requests for what was rock and pop in the 80's. At one time there were rock stations that would play much of this crap and free up the country station for George Jones, Loretta Lynn, etc, when The Vanlear Rose was released, it recieved little play, Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy run every 30 minutes with similar.
there is no one in country music that can sing a vern gosdin song and make it sound good cause the voice is the voice and nobody can do it but jamey johnson is as good as it gets and i believe he is the only person i want to hear a vern gosdin song other than the voice himself
Cowboyfan1113... I said Jamey Johnson was great...but in my honest opinion. NO one can do a Vern Gosdin song as well as the voice himself...I think I have every cd he has ever made..Sorry.. don;t mean to offend you!!!...;)..but that doesn't mean I don't think Jamey isn't great also......love him too.
@batouchofclass I agree that not many people have a voice that could sing a country song like Verne. However Jamey does do a heck of a job on this song and he is great. Just wish there were more "country singers" left besides Jamey, George Strait and Alan Jackson.
This is by far one of the best covers of this song. I love just about every song by the late Vern Gosdin and I have heard alot of covers for this song but once again this one is one of the best.
@emahevul: You've got to be crazy. You're listening to JJ LIVE...LIVE...something you don't get from other artists anymore, because they CAN'T SING. He sounds amazing LIVE, and even better once the records are "doctored" in the studio. JJ is also an amazing songwriter, just look up his songs, most of the songs that have reached the top 10 in the past few years have his signature on them. He is an amazing artist, but he doesn't fit into what people are calling "country" now.
This is one of the all time greatest songs, sung by someone who will be known as one of the all time greatest singer / songwriters, Jamey Johnson. Outstanding Job
I am a huge, longtime Vern Gosdin fan, always loved Kris Kristofferson and am now a fan of Jamey Johnson, it is SO NICE to hear someone who sounds COUNTRY and who has a steel guitar in their lineup today: RARE...
why must be we bring up kristopherson he was a much better song writter than a singer he was more famous for sunday morning coming down when cash did it than anything.jamey or daryle would blow him out of the water vocally.and daryle can outsing anyone after jones jamey sang the shit out of this song
well let kristofferson sing vern gosdin and see how it sounds..... this right here sounds pretty darn good to me. And judging by its reviews from everyone else it sounds pretty good too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL, no, I'd rather not hear Kris Kristofferson even attempt to try to sing a Vern Gosdin song. Although Jamey is a better singer than Kris, he is only moderately better. But this is only my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. ;-)
emahevual... I couldnt disagree with you more, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Kristofferson doesnt have a great voice, while Jamey can take a Vern Gosdin and George Jones song and do it justice. Anyone who can sing Vern or George (the two greatest voices and vocal ranges in the history of country music) and make it sound good is doing something spectacular. Like Jamey says hes right there between Jennings and Jones,,,,
Now see, I would have to disagree with you about the quality of Jamey's singing. I don't think it is that great, which was one of the 2 reasons I drew a comparison to Kris Kristofferson, the other being his songwriting skills. That however, doesn't lessen my appreciation for him. Jamey Johnson is the first real indication in a long time of a welling up of a new "outlaw movement" similar to that which swept through the country landscape in the '70's. That is what is most striking to me about him.
@sferryballer1 George and Vern are/were great singers...but they are not known for their vocal range. They are known for a great sounding voice. When it comes to range there is no match for Mr. Bocephus. He has the range that most singers can only dream about and never achieve. This Jamey Johnson guy is only a step behind those greats. He needs to polish up a bit on his stage talk, but he has the voice. He sounds a lot like David Allen Coe.
I certainly wouldn't compare Jamey to George Jones. Their styles are quite a bit different. However, in my opinion, if you go back and compare him to Kris Kristofferson, you will see more similarities.
@emahevu.....Vern Godsin song douche.....and Jamey can be compared to George,Waylon.Merle Haggard.....all th good country singer/song writers,see i just did it
Well I will say this, George Jones is my favorite singer. I've actually met him. I've seen Jamey Johnson in concert 4 times and I've seen Daryle Singletary 4 times, met Daryle as well. Both Jamey and Daryle are amazing with similar styles. I think they are both awesome. They actually both sang on the tombstone of hank williams grave together after doing a concert in Montgomery. Thank you Jamey and Daryle for carrying on traditonal country music.
I really like Jamey, but to say he is this Generation's Jones is a bit of stretch. I appreciate him doing the old ones. You guys should check out Daryle Singletary. He is the "countriest" guy in Nashville, and possibly the most underrated singer in history. Jamey is not in his league and Jamey will even tell you that. Everyone in this town knows the injustice that is Music Row execs. ignoring Singletary, the best singer of his generation.
Ya, I'll will agree, but Thomas Sheffield deserves a place in country music! He is also a singer from that era at only a young age!! And his brother, Lynn Sheffield, a hell of a country guitar picker have tried to do it and keep gettin turned away!!! because their too country!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only real up and comin OUTLAW in this poor excuse for a world that is called country music, besides the real ones left, hank jr, hag, willie, ect!!!! Atleast when there gone we will still have Jamey!!!!
the man is amazing , i took my uncle and he said it took him back to the waylon show 20 years ago , we got pics and met him , freggin awesome best in country music of the new breed
@Rebelcountryboy We'll see on April 8th I'll finally get to see JJ live in a great venue,by himself! I can't wait.. I've seen alot of the greats,Waylon twice, Hank Jr. twice, George Jones, David Alan Coe, and i can't wait to see this guy live!
If you don't have the entire CD and haven't seen him in concert you are missing out. This is like seeing and hearing Hank Jr., Waylon and Coe 25 years ago. This man writes his own songs(Kristoferson and Coe esque). His CD is like listening to Habits Old and New and DAC Rides Again together. He'll be a legend before he is through.
i tell you this man can sing anything and make it sound great would love to see him live he seems like a good ole down home country boy would love to just sit and play and sing with him not that im any good but would be a blast i bet keep up the great work man
Jamey is one of the greatest in my book thanks for the upload
