Ten-time Grammy nominee Jamey Johnson has signed with Warner Music Nashville and will release the new song “Someday When I’m Old” on Friday.
Johnson signed to Warner Music Nashville through his record label, Big Gassed Records.
“The reason I signed with Warner Music Nashville is Cris Lacy,” he says of the WMN co-chair and co-president. “She is one of my longest-term friends I’ve had in the music business. She cares about me being able to put out music. She cares that I’m able to participate in my own career.”
“For 14 years, those of us in the industry, and fans outside of it, have been begging Jamey Johnson to release another solo studio album,” says Cris Lacy. “From day one, we heard the voice of a man driven by conviction, not commerciality. We saw in him our heroes like Johnny, Waylon and Merle.”
Johnson has been called “one of the greatest country singers of our time” by The Washington Post. He is one of only two people in the history of country music to win two Song of the Year awards in the same year — for “Give It Away” and “In Color” — from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.
