He sums up the album and shines the light on why I couldn't stop listening to That Lonesome Song, his new album on the Mercury Nashville label. It's not just because it's an amazing record, it's because Johnson has put out a sound we haven't heard in a long time.   And its real.  It Makes me say "oh yeah, country music. I like it. I think I might have forgotten that I did just a little bit".

But Johnson brings it back to the front of our memory how sincere, real and sometimes frankly honest country music can be.
