AndyOJun 6, 2009Unlike many of the new country albums, you can hear the steel guitar loud and clear in this one. It's an album you can listen to over and over and never get bored. It's one of the best I've ever listened to.

LisaMFeb 4, 2009My boyfriend turned me onto classic country with the likes of Waylon Jennings and John Anderson. I fell in love with Jmey Johnson when he put out "The Dollar", when the "Lonesome Song" album came out--on vinyl, I was hooked!! His voice, his depth of emotion, and his fabulous band, the whole package is "Grammy" material!!

ErnieSep 25, 2008It's the most "real" and heartfelt country album this year. From his pain grows jagged beauty.

TabithaJ.Sep 15, 2008This is the second best cd I have ever heard (the first being Smoke Rings In the Dark by Gary Allan). There isn't one song on there I don't like. Amazing!!!! I'm not just a country fan. I love all types of music.

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.

That Lonesome Song has the point of view, style and sheer quality of craft to kick off such a movement; even if that doesn't happen, it's one of the best, purest country albums to come out of Nashville in ages.

By the end, when Johnson stakes a place vocally, geographically, and alphabetically "somewhere between [Waylon] Jennings and [George] Jones," you're relieved he still has his wits about him.
