入圍多達8次葛萊美獎,同時榮獲鄉村音樂界ACM和CMA兩大獎加冕肯定的Jamey Johnson,沒有接受完整的大學教育,轉投入美國海軍陸戰隊,服務長達8年之久。退役之後,Jamey立即投身鄉村音樂領域,於各大酒吧展開表演。移居鄉村音樂的溫床納許維爾,獨立發行首張專輯『They Call Me Country』,在擁有ACM大獎「年度製作人」頭銜的Buddy Cannon協助下,Jamey有機會和主流界有了連繫,不僅陸續替線上歌手寫出多首暢銷曲,也順利和唱片公司簽下合約。
名為【Living For A Song: A Tribute To Hank Cochran】的專輯,特別向鄉村界已故傳奇大師Hank Cochran致敬。崛起於60年代的Hank,曾讓Ella Fitzgerald、Elvis Presley、Bing Crosby、Patsy Cline…等巨星演唱過他的作品,1974年進入納許維爾唱作名人殿堂!此輯挑選的16首曲目中,Jamey不但領銜演唱,更請到Willie Nelson、George Strait、Alison Krauss、Elvis Costello、Vince Gill、Lee Ann Womack…多位大明星共襄盛舉,精彩度絕對滿分。
