Album Notes Personnel: Jamey Johnson (vocals, guitars, tubular bells); Scott Welch, Wayd Battle (electric guitar); Eddie Long (steel guitar, dobro); Jim "Moose" Brown (keyboards); Kevin "Swine" Grantt (bass guitar); Dave Macafee (drums); Curtis Wright, Wyatt Beard (background vocals). Jamey Johnson is a successful songwriter on Nashville's Music Row, who has authored hits by George Strait and Trace Adkins. THAT LONESOME SONG, Johnson's debut album as a performer, is a happy throwback to the outlaw country of the 1970s, with Johnson's gruff, character-filled vocals surrounded by a small, rocking combo including pedal steel, organ, and fiddles. Rather than the polished soft rock of so much contemporary Nashville product, THAT LONESOME SONG is a rough and ready honky-tonk album that compares favorably to Waylon Jennings and early Steve Earle. Highlights include "Mowin' Down the Roses" and the celebratory "Between Jennings and Jones."
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- A depressive cuckold's lament updates Glen Campbell's 'Where's the Playground Susie,' and a funereal cowboy dirge gets country's most gothic studio effects ever. Spin
Ranked #32 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- The year's best country album... Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- [Johnson] keeps his music rugged and gothic -- stark honky-tonk ballads awash in weeping pedal steel -- and makes no secret of his love for George Jones, Waylon Jennings and other grandees. Rolling Stone
