I've always wondered how folks felt when they first heard Hank Williams. At 63 years of age, I have discovered Jamey Johnson. Now I know how they felt. Jamey Johnson IS country music.
"Everything comes from God. So when I write, it is my gift to Him. It is my interpretation of what He gave me, the circumstances that I drew the material from. So when I get done with a song, it’s not for my fans. It’s certainly not for the industry, the trophies, the accolades and the plaques. It is straight from me to God." - Jamey Johnson, From his website bio I love it when I read"It's certainly not the for the industry" Thats great!
I was at this show and it was very surreal during this song. It had been cold and rainy most of the day, but when Jamey came out and sang this song, the clouds broke and the sun came out. It was absolutely amazing!
Once every 50 or so years done a talent like this come around, the other Legend from Montgomery, well we know what he meant to the true country fans. The best i have heard period. No exceptions.
This is a true artist right here, no lights, no gimmicks, no electronic tuning bs, just him, his guitar and the people, seen him live jamey johnson is the savior of country music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great song from you Jamey Johnson! I believe in Cod & I've been saved by his grace! I wish more people in this world could "see the light" . May God bless you In all your life's challenges! Cindy Davis
Have you guys noticed how Jamey is not ashamed of his GOD?At least he hasn't taken GOD out of his life like our schools,our Pledge of Alligence;our courthouses ect.Way to go Jamey,much of a man!
I really don't care for much new country, but I dig this cat here. Like few others, this dude respects the old ghosts of country and fears The Lord. God bless him and us all.
The Rythm and his singing is so damn smooth and badass. He makes you feel the song to the point I thought I seen the light.Not many singers can do that as smooth as he does
Amen to that...cant wait to be jammin in Heaven with Jamey...;o) everyone ask your self have you seen the light? end times are coming ....would love to have you Jam with us..;o)
@TheyCallMeNickDubya Man obviously I don't know you from Adam but I been listening to Hank Jr, Kid Rock, & Jamey for the last 6 hrs after a 12 hr shift & getn ready to go hit XMAS lights 4 the family on NO sleep and U flat out hit it! I KNOW SURELY DAMN HANK DONE IT THIS WAY
Heaven Tonight I think I see a light a light coming down from heaven So soft and bright Taking me to heaven tonight I've lost all my confidence I've been a fool But I think I see a light a light coming down from heaven So soft and bright Taking me to heaven tonight M. S. Morrison
@THEMRJAK9584 He does sound like his grandaddy, my grandmother was a big Sr. fan, I played her Hank the 3rd singing something on the 3 hank album and she didnt know the difference
Does anyone know what he does at the 18 second mark how does something on the guitar and it sounds really good to me please help me out if you know what that is called thanks
@bullboy25 I agree with DeepRootsRebel, no-one can do any Hank Sr. better than him himself. Thats like saying any new bluegrass band is better than Bill Monroe.
@Jhinson500 Screw country radio, let um keep there shitty ratings that way they will keep playing Taylor Swift 20 times a day! Jamey is the real deal and if he chose to only play his music in dive bars, people would still learn of him and his albums would still go Gold.... Jamey Johnson is the "second coming" of Country Music!

Farmaid 2016, Bristow, Va, Sep. 17. www.farmaid.org/concert/about-the-concert/ tix went on sale this week.
I agree! I was there too. It was perfect. I still like to watch this and see the sun shine on his face and remember how magical music can be.
Are you serious dude? I imagine that would have been almost supernatural.😁

I was very impressed by the way you sang this particular song
PRAISE THE LORD for that day I SAW THE LIGHT!!! love ya forever
Quite fitting the sun was shining on him while he was singing this... I think it was Hank smiling down on him.
2.07 he actually looks up and sees the light as he sangs it threw the gap in the roof. true feelings coming out of him

@bullboy25 Nobody can do it better than Hank but Jamey does a damn good job
even Hank would've been proud!
@THEMRJAK9584 He does sound like his grandaddy, my grandmother was a big Sr. fan, I played her Hank the 3rd singing something on the 3 hank album and she didnt know the difference
@grizzman144 was that in greenville? i was there. nosebleeds, but it was so effin' cool. kid rocked the house, too!
Yep!! He’s FINE!
Please play this at the next AIPAC meeting!
Where is this version available? Spotify? It is absolutely the best.
yhank you jahooes
So glad he doesn't sell himself out like the rest of em. What an amazing talent!
Is our President a farmer or the President? America first.
Good ?
SWEET
Can't get it to load. I wanted to see it too.
Play this at AIPAC.
He did it well... But nothing beats ol' Hank.
JJ for President...To Hell with all the pop country B.S. on tv and radio today...Long live Outlaw's like Jamey...
How can you dis like this
Einfach so cool
Jamey Johnson
Heh. Hank Sr. probably wouldn't have approved of the hair, but no doubt he'd love what Jamey did with Hank's song!
would be nice to purchase this song
Support our essential farmers? So who's essential? The Ron Paul Liberty Report.
Does anyone know what he does at the 18 second mark how does something on the guitar and it sounds really good to me please help me out if you know what that is called thanks
Kyle Kiblinger
yup he slide his finger up to the 5th fret and bent the string
I have been wondering that for a long time! thanks brother!
is there a download anywhere for Jamey's version of the song?
did yall notice that the sun broke out as he was singing this? coincidence? i like to believe it was not...
Is he really the "Real Deal".
the only new country music artist the rest of them are pop country
jamey reminds me of a younger waylon jennings
i saw the light when I learned of Jamey Johnson!!!! About time, I'm so sick of Tim, Kenny, even Toby. At least Toby writes some of his music
go listen to the song "Not Everybody Likes Us" by Hank Williams 3
@bullboy25 I agree with DeepRootsRebel, no-one can do any Hank Sr. better than him himself. Thats like saying any new bluegrass band is better than Bill Monroe.
@CountryBoyTroy well he aint to new i was talking more on the line of 2 or 3 years in the buisness
@stephenjray1988
Besides Hank III
