I am going to do it.” This statement engulfs within, the passion and charisma that Johnson has for the love of music.

Initially Johnson started off as a writer and soon after he landed his first deal as a songwriter. During his initially days as just a song writer, he wrote songs like ‘Honky Tonk Badonkadonk’ that was featured on Trace Adkins 2005’s release, Songs About Me.

In the following year, Jamey Johnson released his debut album ‘The Dollar’ which peaked at the 14th spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Later on, Johnson released his second single which failed to chart due to which he was dropped from his label. Before all that, Johnson also self released an album titled ‘They Call me Country’, which didn’t receive much of a recognition.

Following the event of being dropped from his label, Johnson brought a turn in his lifestyle and while residing at his friend’s place, he concentrated more on his song writing ability. During that time of his life he co-wrote several hit songs like ‘Give it away’ and ‘Ladies Love Country Boys’.

Almost two years after the release of his debut album, Johnson released another one of his studio albums titled ‘That Lonesome Song’ over the internet. After Mercury Nashville Records gave his album a listen, they decided to offer him a record deal, and so he scored another record deal. ‘That Lonesome Song’ peaked at #6 spot on the U.S Country Chart and received certified Gold Status.
