About this album
Jamey Johnson's 2006 debut was defiantly old-school sounding, but he went full-on outlaw for this follow-up, with spectacular results. This album owes a spiritual debt to vintage Waylon Jennings, acknowledged by a brace of spot-on covers. But with his muscular baritone and knack for no-nonsense storytelling, Johnson crafts some new outlaw country classics of his own, whether he's unsentimentally tallying the tolls of addiction on "High Cost of Living" or lamenting a wrecked romance on the intense, smouldering ballad "Mary Go Round."
