Jamey Johnson, a ten-time GRAMMY nominee, has been called “one of the greatest country singers of our time,” by The Washington Post. His music has garnered international acclaim and is embraced by fans of classic and contemporary country, as well as Americana and mainstreamrock.The Grand Ole Opry member is also widely regarded as one of the greatest country songwritersof his generation. He is one of only two people in the history of country music (along with KrisKristofferson) 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, Merle Haggard,Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins, James Otto, Joe Nichols and others. He is “a first-ratepreservationist of classic country songwriting…,” says The New York Times.His recent prime-time television performances have been widely recognized as the best of the shows, from singing “Georgia on My Mind” in the 2023 CBS special Willie Nelson’s 90thBirthday Celebration and “Angels Among Us” for the 2024 CMT Giants: Alabama to performing“Beer for My Horses” in August with Lainey Wilson for the top-rated NBC special Toby Keith:American Icon (available to stream on Peacock), debuting his powerful song, “21 Guns,” duringPBS’ National Memorial Day Concert earlier this year, and delivering a standout performance of“Give It Away” at the 2024 CMA Awards.The Recording Industry Association of America recently honored him for sales/streams of 9million, including the 5X platinum-certified single “In Color,” the 2X platinum-certified album That Lonesome Song, the platinum-certified single “High Cost of Living,” the gold-certified song“Between Jennings and Jones” and the gold-certified single “That Lonesome Song.”Johnson just completed his “What a View” headlining tour and is now part of the “Life is aCarnival: Last Waltz Tour ’24,” the epic tour that continues the tradition of capturing theexcitement of The Band’s historic 1976 Thanksgiving concert in San Francisco. The tour alsofeatures Ryan Bingham, Lukas Nelson, Don Was and others.In October 2024, Jamey performed in “Life Is a Carnival: A Music Celebration of RobbieRobertson,” which was held in Los Angeles and filmed by Oscar-winning director Martin

The Guitar Song, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Album Chart. Rolling Stone andSpin named The Guitar Song to their all-genre Top 5 Best Albums of the Year. (He also releaseda 2012 duets project, the Grammy-nominated Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran.)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 thesongs “That Lonesome Song” and “Between Jennings and Jones” received Gold Awards forsales/streams of 500,000.Rolling Stone says he “… turns out to be [country’s] most reliable tradi Midnight Gasoline have a deeper resonancebecause they are interpreted by a man who is older and wiser, and he pours that experience into everynote.For instance, “Sober,” which he wrote with James Slater, describes the difficulty of remaining sober,especially in a city and industry that glorify drinking. The song’s lyrics, according to American Songwriter,are “heartbreaking in their simplicity.”“It’s for people who know the struggle,” says Johnson, who also co-wrote 2009’s “High Cost of Living”with Slater. Music Row’s Robert K. Oermann says, “Johnson remains one of our most towering countryvocalists, and this spare, stripped-down track lets him emote magnificently on the ballad… The wholeperformance rings with honesty and truth.” As Saving Country Music says, “Whether you’re clean or not,‘Sober’ is the Jamey Johnson song you’ve waited 15 years for.”Midnight Gasoline is a tribute to collabora “One More Time,” “Sober,” “Tired of It All,” “No TimeLike the Past” and “What You Answer To.” “What a classy guy and a tasteful musician, and an endlesswealth of ideas for a producer,” Johnson says.The album, like Johnson’s life, is made be=er by singer-songwriters Lee Brice, Dallas Davidson, RobHatch, Randy Houser and Jerrod Niemann. They have remained friends since their early days ofperforming on Nashville’s famed Lower Broadway, driven by their shared dreams of a career in music.“These guys have been brothers to me since we met. That has been my support team for over 20 years.

He co-wrote “What a View” with Davidson, Houser and Hatch in the Bahamas during a wri “No Time Like the Past” with Chris Stapleton, who also helped Johnson finish “SaturdayNight in New Orleans,” a song he started with Tony Joe White, who died before they could complete it.“Tony Joe and I were talking about how unique New Orleans is,” he says. “Nashville is a music town, but it doesn’t have the same sort of feeling that New Orleans has, where you forget what day it is. Everynight is Saturday night in New Orleans.“Chris and I were trying to paint a picture of what these things were that make it feel that way. I hopedthe song would somehow produce the sound that helps you envision what the town is. You can almostsmell the crawfish, beignets, coffee and everything else.”Although he hadn’t released a new solo album in more than a decade, Johnson has remained busytouring and wri recorded with artists including the Zac Brown Band,Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Ray Benson, Kris Kristofferson, ShooterJennings, Joe Bonamassa, Blackberry Smoke, Larry Fleet and Mo Pitney.He has been a part of several tours of “The Last Waltz,” featuring a star-studded group ofmusicians, including Eric Clapton, Don Was, Elvis Costello, Cyril Neville and Warren Haynes,paying tribute to The Band’s farewell concert in 1976. He was also honored to be invited to turntwo of Johnny Cash’s unfinished poems into songs for the album called Forever Words.It was his time spent with another friend, Toby Keith, that served as the inspiration for Johnson’s return to the studio. The two began writing a few songs over the phone while Keith was at his home in Oklahoma battling cancer. Johnson assumed that the larger-than-life Keith would beatthe disease and they would finish and release their work. But it was not to be.“When he passed away, I realized that’s it,” he says. “That’s the end of his discography, and itwas a wake-up call. He left a great catalog, a full catalog. He didn’t leave one song unwrittenand he told it all.“I can’t say the same about me,” he says. “I haven’t written it all. I have written a lot, but I am nowhere near done. It made me more focused about writing, but it also made me realize to get this music out there, there’s going to be a lot of studio time to make up for the years.

Johnson has already been performing his new songs in his shows, and he has been reinvigorated by not only the audience’s overwhelming reception, but an unexpected realization that he’s had along the way.“It has been a joy to stand there and play these new songs to my fans every night on this ‘What a View’ tour,” he says. “It reminded me of something I should have been doing the whole time:delivering the message. These songs all come from somewhere, and for me, they all come froma higher power.“My job as a songwriter and a singer is to take that message that God gave me through these songs and deliver that message to His people and to do that at the best of my abilities and with a positive attitude and joy in my heart. That is something I got from this album that I don’t think I’ve gotten before, which is the ability to do that, and I appreciate it.
