Review 1 for That Lonesome Song
Finally, some real country music, not pop-country.

What's great about it: Nearly all of the songs are great.
What's not so great: Couple of bad songs.
I'm just glad to hear some old school country on a new CD. This is real country for country people. I'm so tired of all the POP-Country out now, it all sounds exactly the same.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Every song is great. Very original.
This CD is great. Every song is good. In Color is a good song but the radio has played it to death. There are thirteen other songs that need radio play. Usually every song is not good but on this CD it is. Every song is worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: A return to "old" country
Jamey Johnson writes from the heart, and with the final track, "Between Jennings and Jones," he describes himself perfectly. I haven't heard country music like this since Waylon Jennings.
While most everyone has heard the single, "In Color," my personal favorites are the title track, "That Lonesome Song," as well as "High Cost of Living" and "Place Out on the Ocean."
Johnson sings about his life - straight from the heart.
This is, in my mind, the best country CD of 2008.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Finally we are getting the "old" country back!
If you don't own this CD, I will tell you, you need to go buy it! It is wonderful! Its about time that someone brings the country back to country music! His voice is amazing and he sounds like a young Waylon Jennings!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 7 for That Lonesome Song
Country Album of the Year

What's great about it: Unbeliveable sound, Like Jennings and Cash
What's not so great: none
Jamey Johnson is a study in contrasts. This applies to his entire life, but I won't bother talking about that--just one listen to this album, you'll understand (with phrases like "the high cost of living ain't nothing like the cost of living high," Johnson is more than up-front about who he is and where he comes from). I'm talking strictly about his music. A little song he cro-wrote ("Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," maybe you've heard of it) because a huge smash hit. Same with a tune that won Song of the Year ("Give It Away"). Yet Johnson himself has flown under the rader, despite making two solid albums (three, if you count the version of THAT LONESOME SONG that was distributed solely through his website a year ago). Also, not a single one of his songs is halfway as commercially appealing as "Badonkadonk;" his songs are fiddle-and-steel outlaw tunes, strongly in the vein of Waylon Jennings. Speaking of Waylon...Johnson channels Waylon here, in a way that is not at all exploitative, and is entirely heartfelt immitation. After all, the two songs Johnson didn't write are Waylon covers; and try listening to the title track and not think of Waylon's baritone gracing it. Johnson also owes a lot to the other greats--Kristofferson, Jones, Haggard, Cash, Coe, Paycheck, etc.--yet he's firmly his own artist. And I stress that last word--"artist." Like the afore-mentioned legends, Johnson has taken country music and transformed it into something that is--in my own humble opinion, being a budding songwriter myself, influenced by the same artists Johnson worships--almost timeless. He questions his own morality (as well as mortality, but the former is oh-so-much-more interesting, especially set to a steel guitar), he questions his beliefs, he questions everything...and fails to find many answers, as most of us do. It's tough, at times, listening to music that is so...human. There are no cliches here. A couple tracks come close--especially "Stars in Alabama"--but Johnson knows how to reign in a tune and keep it down-to-earth. Even the beach song here, "A Place on the Ocean," is far from cliche--Johnson, sitting on the beach, sitting in a "mansion with a view,", bemoans "all that I can think about is you," going on to declare: "I hope I'm sane by the time I'm done." He sings of the pitfalls in life; he sings of the good deeds done poorly. He sings of life--as he's lived it, as others have lived it. Ladies and gentlemen, let me state it bluntly: this is REAL country music. This is no pop/radio child's play; this is the real deal, and that means there'll be some tears and a whole lot of heartache before you're through. Pick up Jamey Johnson's THAT LONESOME SONG to experience what country music was intended to be.
I would recommend this to a friend!
