Jamey Johnson

Jamey Johnson and band were great. City Winery....meh. Staff was abrasive and arrogant. Wait 25 minutes in line for 5 oz pour of wine (the supervisor literally scoffed and said their pour is 5oz) in a plastic wine glass for $11?!? Then they allowed anyone/everyone in the doors after about 8:40pm - no checking for purchased passes (no tickets - gave name at door). So the floor swelled with walk ins, crowding the venue. Poorly managed.

In Color, High Cost of Living, East Bound &Down, Rainy night in Georgia. 8 flawless badass songs with the closer being Four walls of Raiford. The one song you want to hear but know the Atlanta Skynyrd tribute was the only time he sang live. Tonight he sang it and it was jaw dropping good. Besides Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson is that real deal country singer, just real deal singer & guitar player, that captivates you and you never want the show to end. He was beyond good. He was freaking incredible

Outstanding performance by Jamey and his band. He sang his ass off and they played their asses off. Best band, and best Male singer/songwriter in country music today!

I’m a Jamey Johnson fan, so just the chance to see him gets big points from me- in my backyard, no less. The irony of performing at a casino in “where-am-I-again,NY” was not lost on Jamey. We are a self deprecating lot around here & his humorous banter was well accepted by the audience. Jamey’s performance overall was the height of professionalism. Bravo. The high point of the show was when the audience sang the chorus of “In Color” back to Jamey. Very humbly, he said, “I wasn’t expecting that.”, continued the song as the audience sang the chorus to the end of the song. The band silently enjoyed. It appeared that Jamey wiped a tear from his eye before he started the next song. A awesome moment that I believe every singer/songwriter appreciates more than a fan can understand fully. And to del Lago, you finally got the sound right!!

Jamey was in great form. Very solid band. The venue was not at all well suited to his type of show. And, considering it was a theater-type setting, I would rate the sound quality a 3.

It was a milestone for me to see Jamey Johnson’s tribute to Daryl Singletary and to hear the story he shared before playing “Old Violin”. It was a great night at The Ryman for songwriters and artists!
