The final cut on
That Lonesome Song—kind
of a concept album meets musical manifesto—is titled "Between Jennings
and Jones," which is where Jamey Johnson finds himself shelved in the
CD racks, and also how he describes his sound. Actually, there's way
more Jennings than Jones, with two cuts covered from Waylon's classic
Dreaming My Dreams
(the title track and "The Door Is Always Open"), another paying tribute
to him by name ("The Last Cowboy") and several others borrowing
liberally from his sound. Yet in terms of both concept and sound, the
bare-bones intimacy of this bittersweet divorce album remind more of
Willie Nelson's
Phases and Stages (at least side one, the
man's side), with the opening "High Cost of Living" ("ain’t nothing
like the cost of living high") setting the "Bloody Mary Morning" tone,
extended by the sad country waltz of "Angel" and continuing through the
down-and-out epiphany of the title track. Only the comparatively
lightweight novelty of "Women" indicates that this is the same guy who
wrote "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" for Trace Adkins.
