To listen to Jamey Johnson's latest is to take a step back in time. More Waylon and Willie than Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood, "That Lonesome Song" is a testament to raw and real, right down to open studio mics catching stray commentary and static from a bad input. First single "In Color" is a touching look at the world through his grandfather's eyes. "Mary Go Round," a stunning waltz, is a heartfelt plea for a woman to mend her ways. A modern outlaw in a world dominated by music for soccer moms, Johnson pays authentic homage to a brother in arms by covering Jennings' "Dreamin' My Dreams With You" and "The Door Is Always Open." Fittingly, "The Last Cowboy" is an engaging but mournful take on days gone by. —Ken Tucker
