Late to this party as always -- since I'm not exactly in the demo -- but Jamey Johnson is being praised as the second coming of Waylon Jennings.
(In fact, he's written a song "Between Jennings and Jones" ostensibly about where he's filed in record stores, but you know what he really means.)
He's got a new double album out called "The Guitar Song."
He's clean and clear, passionate, and tuneful. And he tells great stories.

Very nice.
So...narrative in a song is only a problem when it's done badly?
I repeat: it's overrated, and, often, given the fact that most songwriters have nothing to say, boring and vulgar.
My head hurts. If this is the case, what's up with your comments on Jamey?
