Nelson dropped by Sirius XM’s Music City Theatre in Nashville for a one-hour segment about his forthcoming album, God’s Problem Child. Nelson shared the stage with producer and longtime friend Buddy Cannon.
One of the main focuses of the interview was the title track, “God’s Problem Child,” penned by Johnson and Tony Joe White. Nelson referred to the song as “one of the better ones” on the record.
“Jamey’s one of the best pickers and singers and writers we’ve got around today,” Nelson says. “When people ask me about some of the new guys coming up, I’ve always got to throw Jamey’s name out there because he’s that good.”
Cannon adds: “He’s just the best new country songwriter that’s come along since Willie and Hank, since that wave came in back in the early ’60s. Jamey is the flag bearer for now.”
