Jamey Johnson

Award-winning singer/songwriter Jamey Johnson has served as country music's north star for nearly two decades, inspiring a generation of artists with his unforgettable albums that have built a bridge connecting traditional country with the music of today. 

The 10x GRAMMY nominee has been called "one of the greatest country singers of our time," by The Washington Post. As a rock legend Don Henley says, Johnson is "the nearest thing" we have to late country icon George Jones. His music has garnered international acclaim and is embraced by fans of classic and contemporary country, as well as Americana and mainstream rock. 

The Grand Ole Opry member is also widely regarded as one of the greatest country songwriters of his generation. He is one of only teo people in the history of country music (along with Kris Kristofferson) to win two Song of the Year awards in the same year for "Give It Away" and "In Color" from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. 

A consummate storyteller, his songs have been recorded by George Strait, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, James Otto, Joe Nichols, and others. He is "a first-rate preservationist of classic country songwriting...," says The New York Times. 

Jamey Johnson's Midnight Gasoline, his sixth studio album and his first solo release in 14 years, was recorded at the iconic Cash Cabin Studio and features a mix of songs spanning decades, staying true to the sound that made his earlier albums platinum and gold. 

His award winning song "In Color" received a 5x-Platinum Award for reaching 5 million in sales/streams, "High Cost of Living" received a Platinum Award for 1 million in sales/streams, and the songs "That Lonesome Song" and "Between Jennings and Jones" received Gold Awards for sales/streams of 500,000. 

His timeless songs poignantly and honestly capture the harsh realities of life, addition, heartbreak and disappointment while offering messages of hope, humor, and love. His music spans a range of emotions, from self-destruction to self-redemption. His deep and rich baritone, simultaneously haunting and soothing, is never rushed over overstated. But the songs on Midnight Gasoline have a deeper resonance because they are interpreted by a man who is older and wiser, and he pours that experience into every note. 

Johnson's songwriter took a more personal turn with "What a View," a breakthrough track he co-wrote during a Bahamas writing session. He also collaborated with Chris Stapleton and late songwriter Tony Joe White on additional material. Though he stepped away from releasing solo albums for over a decade, Johnson stayed active touring, writing, and recording with artists like Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, and Alison Krauss. 

Inspired in part by his friendship with Toby Keith, Johnson returned to recording with a renewed focus, bringing deeply personal songs back to the stage and reconnecting with fans through his storytelling.
