Jamey Johnson born on 14th July 1975, in Enterprise, Alabama, is an American country music artist. Signed to BNA Records in 2005, Johnson made his debut with his single “The Dollar”, the title track to his 2006 album The Dollar. Johnson was dropped from BNA in 2006 and signed to Mercury Nashville Records in March 2008, releasing his second album, the gold-certified That Lonesome Song. This album has produced two more singles: the Top 10 hit “In Color” and “High Cost of Living.” In addition to most of his own material, Johnson has co-written singles for Trace Adkins, George Strait, James Otto and Joe Nichols.

Johnson released an album in 2008, That Lonesome Song, which was only made available online. The album drew the attention of Mercury Nashville Records, who signed him to a record deal in 2008. His first single for the label, “In Color,” was released in March 2008. This song, which Johnson co-wrote with Lee Thomas Miller and James Otto, entered Top 40 in June 2008, and That Lonesome Song was physically released in August of that year. “In Color” peaked at #9 on the Country chart in January 2009 and was followed a month later by “High Cost of Living,” which managed to crack the Top 40, but only reaching #34. By April 2009, That Lonesome Song was certified Gold by the RIAA.

A fifth single, “My Way to You,” was issued in July 2009. The song will act as a lead-off single to Johnson’s third major-label studio album. The song was released to radio on July 13, 2009, and debuted at #56 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The song peaked at #52 in September 2009.

Johnson was nominated for the 2009 CMA Awards New Artist of the Year, and has been nominated for the 2010 Academy of Country Music Top New Solo Vocalist.
