Jamey Johnson is a modern day outlaw that would make Waylon Jennings proud. A badass. He was right to tell it to the radio personalities who keep shoving pop garbage down our throats and cast out great artists like him straight into their faces. Keep it up Jamey!
Honestly - many DJ's won't play his music for a reason - and it has to do what happens with how much a fan they are after meeting the guy. Outlaw? No, he's an asshole in my opinion. His music is Outlaw-ISH - but being an asshole doesn't make you an outlaw, it just makes you an asshole.

He is nowhere near the realm of a Waylon, Hag, Jones, Paycheck, Cash, Willie etc. Like you said, just because you're in front of microphone and start crying like a big BITCH and swearing doesn't make you an OUTLAW....it makes you a major jerk off.

Jamey Johnson has good music and it should be played on the radio but it’s not. So I understand what he’s saying. He has a right to be pissed and to speak his mind. All radio stations are on a constant repeat of the same songs over and over and over. If you like listening to a variety of music you’re better off having XM Radio or a collection of CD’s because you won’t hear it on any average radio station.
Exactly ridiculous he has every right. If your genuine, traditional outlaw country they won't play you. Whitey Morgan, Cody Jinx, Creed Fisher. Tyler Childers, etc. I can only hear on Sirius XM Outlaw Country.
@@terrihowser9546 I love Creed Fisher's music. He's for real. He sings songs that state his views on things. If you can't do that in this country without getting blasted we're already finished.

Im with jj on this, stations are playing pop and calling it country and the artists who play the pop crap and call themselves country are just as much at fault.
Well as I see it he was speaking the truth ! They don’t play his music so they shouldn’t be taking his time away that he was to be on stage ! If they were radio stations they shouldn’t have to label it new or old country music ! Music is music He has the right to his opinions!
@@joetravieso3542 - One of his breakout hits was “In Color” If you watch the video, you DEFINITELY wouldn’t recognize him. He looks like a totally different man, but is still a great singer/songwriter.
Years ago Jamey had a construction company. He was working on a roof in the rafters down by Mobile AL. It was after a hurricane. He got tired of all of the repetitive music on the station they had playing. So he got down and tried finding a better station. Well with no luck, he wasn't able to. He got to thinking, I've got around 200 songs that are better than this. So when they finally finished the job he said I'm done with construction. He already knew a bunch of people in the music industry. He finally took our advice and tried to break out. Well the rest is fantastic history. But when we the listeners don't get to hear that awesome music he wrote and sings. He hears about it from so many people. It will always take a toll. So if all of the main streams would play songs that are worthy,this would never have happened. I think that we need a new country station. One that plays country music. Not pop country. Now you can have a cross over artist. But each song must be submitted and then voted in. Voted in as pure country sound.
Finally therer is someone that's willing to take a stand that he needs to speak about his music not being played on so called stations which for so long many veterans of the Country music scene didn't have the courage to do till Jamey came and he let his feelings be known which to the asudience they responded immediately which I sincerely hope they can pass this out cause it's time for a shake up surrounding country music but mainstream music in General. Thanks Jamey I'm a fan of you now.

Maybe mainstream will "cancel" him or, God forbid, he'll get Kicked Out Of County
Jamey hasn’t put out a country album in well over a decade. No radio stations but oldies keep playing decade old music. That’s all his fault not the stations. I’ve seen him numerous times and it was the very same show every time. He also said he couldn’t ever imagine singing songs he didn’t write and he went back on his word there. They lost their mojo when he fired wayde baddle.
I don’t never hear his music on radio stations here in Pikeville KY but I’m not really a huge fan of country but I do listen to it sometimes but he is gonna be here in concert in about 3 months from now and I do like his music and I will be in attendance when he is here so we will see what happens. Play your music Jamey you do have fans.
Jamie Johnson took the thought’s and word’s right outta my mouth…...recently listened to a local and popular country music station due circumstances beyond my control and a need for something to fill the silence. During this endless listening I noticed two things, most of the singers sound the same except Chris Stapleton (Thank God!) and the station played the same songs with the singers who all sounded the same repetitively……..Jamey we hear ya, we know who you are and we are your true fans! Enough said!!
I loved Jamey and his music for years!!! Hes 💯 % correct on all he said!! wish id been here! More power to you Jamey!!! Yes! They can Play their shit somewhere else not “ horn in” on Jameys stage with their music!!!!!
JJ did an awesome job of firing up the crowd! Then he plays all those sad songs...I like what the dude had to say when he said “I’ll play my part”. It’s a live stage show! It got the crowd fired up! I’m great with that!
"We try to expose our listeners to all kinds of country music." I've never heard Jamey Johnson, Creed Fisher, Hank III, or Buddy Brown on the radio and I probably never will. Disappointing.
With Buddy Brown, though, it's because of all the political stuff surrounding him and his amazing music. We've seen how picky and political "country" radio can get.
There 1kindof country music :True country like Creed Fisher Buddy Brown And the outlaw singers and then this pop rap bs Nashville calls country and that ain't country that's a matter of fact if you ask me Nashville is Devil's row cuz you gotta sell your soul to make it and ps if anything is alt country it's Nashville not the other way around cause Jamey Johnson is true country and I am 1 of the lucky few born in the new millennium that knows what true Country music is what Nashville has offer ain't country
@@BirdieSenpai yeah true country music that ain't gonna be afraid to speak its mind is exactly what America needs right now and Christian down on their knees praying for America God Bless America and Save us again
I wish radio station would play more of the old stuff again. I miss it. George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Tammy wynette, Vince Gill,Randy Travis,Marty Stuart,Boxcar Willie,Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash,I can go on with more but I think you no where I was going.
I agree! There are no stations that call themselves Country that actually plays country anymore. They remove the local DJs and cram the syndicated crap down our throats, screw Bobby Bones! Recently my car had a serious battery drain and they found it was the amplifier to my radio, I wasn't paying for a replacement with no warranty for my 2001 Tahoe so I now have no radio and I don't miss it at all since the stations I could get here in NC played rap crap and called it country! I guess I will just enjoy my phone music.
Good for Jamey! I stopped lessening to "new" country radio many years ago. I actually didn't know who Jamey Johnson was until I saw this clip and looked him up. LOVE him and his music. He is the real deal.
Truth is the majority of so called country stations don’t play traditional country music anymore. Hell, George Jones which is one of the legends of the industry couldn’t get his new songs played. People wan to hear traditional country like Jamey Johnson,Alan Jackson and many more too. I listen to Spotify nowadays and you can bet Jamey Johnson and many like him are all over my play lists.
I am a little stuck in between....No, in Central Florida, I have never heard his music on any radio station. I do believe that his music doesn't need to be on radio (UNLESS HE IS MAKING $$) because they suck, they choose whatever & tired of repeats or same musicians but different songs....BUY HIS MUSIC... GET THE $$ STRAIGHT TO THE AWESOME MUSICIANS.
Country radio is as lost as Rock radio, neither one is self aware enough to understand their days of being great are long gone, & no amount of label pushed crap will ever change that.
I think this crap they’re playing now days, is just that….CRAP! It’s not country for sure. Just because there’s beer, trucks, hanging with the guys, choppin wood…etc.,etc doesn’t mean it’s country especially if it’s rapped. KEEP COUNTRY, COUNTRY!! Down with bro country and tractor rap!!
As someone who always dreamed of being on the radio and now working in a top ten radio market, this stung a bit. But for those who say that single radio stations themselves are solely responsible for the current climate of mainstream country, it’s not just radio. Radio is just the outlet that it’s presented in. The issue at hand is much, much higher up and change needs to start from there first.
The writing is right there on the wall. People are tired of the bs spewing out of mainstream country stations. I wasn’t grateful enough to appreciate country music in my younger days but damn it was so much better back then, and I truly missed out. Steve Terreberry’s take on modern country is 99% accurate, meaning modern country is all buzzwords and one beat. Jamey Johnson gained even more of my respect for this.
This is not unusual for J.J. We went to see J.J. at Nutty Jerry's in Winnie, TX some time back. He snubbed an entire Hall that paid an extravagant amount of money to see him. Not once did he even acknowledge the crowd or anyone. He came out, played for about an hour or so and hauled tail. While he isn't under any commitment to stand by and shake hands with fans and autograph memorabilia, a lot of folks don't quite appreciate spending hard earned money that could have been allocated elsewhere, for an individual that seemed to be "put out" but still accepting those funds. Outlaw or not...a simple "Thank You" goes a long way. He's not in prison anymore and he doesn't have to put on being hard for us. A lot of us know the struggle and reach for his music to help those hard times. Good luck to him and safe travels.
Jamey has a reason to say that about stations. It’s all corporate, the music industry “Shelved all my songs” and screwed JJ out of Millions. So the radio station is the last step in the process but the first to bring the new FGL, Sam Hunt or Morgan Wallen. They are told what to spin and when JJ got out of his contract he stopped feeding the monster.
I saw him on the 40th Anniversary of The Last Waltz with Warren Haynes. He is a badass. Too much politicing in radio. Always has been. Give the artists their due.
Saw him at the Warfield in SF, he had 12+ on stage with him, a drummer, percussionist, keyboard, steel guitar, 3 member horn section, multiple guitars, bass, it was great!
@@mikelanghorst Same here except it was in Jackson Tennessee. Full all out band steel quitar and horns western shirts cowboy hats and all. It was like going back in time.
Truly unfortunate that this happened, but it's true that there are few outlets for outlaw/Alt country. The radio industry wants music that appeals to the masses, to max profits. Thank goodness for the few stations that do play it. Corporate ownership has not been good for radio listeners.
I’m in Nebraska and I don’t listen to these country radio stations anymore and haven’t for years. I listen to Willie’s Roadhouse and Prime Country on XM. KX 96 was probably the best country radio station in Nebraska back in the 80’s, not anymore.
I understand his frustration. But more info should be given to the artists about who is promoting him. We still love you Jamey. All stations aren’t like Nashville stations. That’s one reason I love Texas radio. They play everybody. People that hear you love you!!
Mr. Johnson had every right to be pissed, and honestly, I probably would've said the same thing if it happened to me. This is like when Alan Jackson played choices at the CMA's.
Right on Jamie! You speak the truth as you sing the truth in all your songs. From a Mobile Alabama fan you keep being you and we will all keep listening. All radio stations suck no matter what you listen to that's why I don't listen to radio.
The stations are lucky to even get away with calling themselves ‘country music stations’. The main stations where I live have a list of about,maybe 20 songs, that they play on a loop all day and all night. It takes maybe a day or two at most with these stations playing n the background before I know every word to every one of those songs. It just gets beat into ur head, over and over and over, and it’s basically pop music with a very faint sound of country.
Radio is dead, anyway. I enjoy my deep dives on my Spotify. I've discovered many underground/independent country artists on that platform, since that's where the real country is; underground.
Well in retrospect he probably wishes he wouldn’t of said that, but at the same time he is a legend and can say whatever he wants. I personally super happy we have a real country artist playing real country music.
Country music radio stations, program directors, and DJ's have been shitting on traditional sounding country music for years. This is why I don't listen to country radio. I am a songwriter and a singer and I've spent many years in Nashville and I'm well aware of the game.
Jamey just played in the Syracuse NY area (Waterloo NY) and to be honest I have no clue if any radio station here even mentioned it. No one here plays him and if they do it is In Color and that is it. I speak the same truth as Jamey when it comes to a lot of artists. Local radio will play and promote someone they normally don't play until the end of that concert. After that, you don't hear them on the same station.
He’s right!! The stations only play a few artists/songs. NO VARIETY! Also NO REAL DJ’s anymore. They receive a signal from a mainframe in Bumfuck Egypt on a delay relay to our radios! 😡😡 Even satellite radio plays the same songs over and over!!🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Radio sucks period and Jamie’s music blows all the new pop country away if he’d wear skinny jeans and a brand new silly little cowboy hat played some college towns radio stations would play his records . Way to go brother Waylon and DAC would be proud . I’m proud of you
The radio stations really play with what they want I really don't give a s*** about the real stations but you said it right Jamey Johnson you're all right my book

Jamey hasn’t put out a country album in well over a decade. No radio stations but oldies keep playing decade old music. That’s all his fault not the stations. I’ve seen him numerous times and it was the very same show every time. He also said he couldn’t ever imagine singing songs he didn’t write and he went back on his word there. They lost their mojo when he fired wayde baddle.
I don’t never hear his music on radio stations here in Pikeville KY but I’m not really a huge fan of country but I do listen to it sometimes but he is gonna be here in concert in about 3 months from now and I do like his music and I will be in attendance when he is here so we will see what happens. Play your music Jamey you do have fans.
Feedom of speech and if you think that was bad YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT IN COLOR
He had a point!! Just as Jones used to say they don’t play country no more! Jamey is king!
Jamey had every right to say what he did! Today's "country" sounds like a mixture of the boy bands from the 90's!!
Bring back REAL COUNTRY!!!
Jamey Johnson is a legend! He can say whatever he wants about the state of mainstream country radio!
Jamie Johnson took the thought’s and word’s right outta my mouth…...recently listened to a local and popular country music station due circumstances beyond my control and a need for something to fill the silence. During this endless listening I noticed two things, most of the singers sound the same except Chris Stapleton (Thank God!) and the station played the same songs with the singers who all sounded the same repetitively……..Jamey we hear ya, we know who you are and we are your true fans! Enough said!!
The radio doesn't play real country music anymore hardly....the station name "new country" says it all. I don't blame him
You go Jamey
I loved Jamey and his music for years!!! Hes 💯 % correct on all he said!! wish id been here! More power to you Jamey!!! Yes! They can Play their shit somewhere else not “ horn in” on Jameys stage with their music!!!!!
George Jones would have been proud of Jamey Johnson for standing up for real country. They got away with murder down on music row.
JJ did an awesome job of firing up the crowd! Then he plays all those sad songs...I like what the dude had to say when he said “I’ll play my part”. It’s a live stage show! It got the crowd fired up! I’m great with that!
Hell yeah I am with Jamey… he is a great artist have all his music and seen him live; give ‘em Hell and listen to em whine
I love Jamie Johnson’s music always have. I don’t understand why they won’t play his music. I never hear his music on the radio. Love you Jamie!!!
Get Sirius, channel 58 and 59...Willies Roadhouse and Outlaw Country. You hear plenty of Jamey and other artists like him. I live for those songs.
He said what needed to be said I'm glad he said it.
He is not wrong! I love it when people like him say exactly what they want to say and don't give crap what anyone else thinks!
"We try to expose our listeners to all kinds of country music." I've never heard Jamey Johnson, Creed Fisher, Hank III, or Buddy Brown on the radio and I probably never will. Disappointing.
With Buddy Brown, though, it's because of all the political stuff surrounding him and his amazing music. We've seen how picky and political "country" radio can get.
There 1kindof country music :True country like Creed Fisher Buddy Brown And the outlaw singers and then this pop rap bs Nashville calls country and that ain't country that's a matter of fact if you ask me Nashville is Devil's row cuz you gotta sell your soul to make it and ps if anything is alt country it's Nashville not the other way around cause Jamey Johnson is true country and I am 1 of the lucky few born in the new millennium that knows what true Country music is what Nashville has offer ain't country
@@TheSidewindingCobra Speaking facts there, Kevin; God bless ya, sir.
@@BirdieSenpai yeah true country music that ain't gonna be afraid to speak its mind is exactly what America needs right now and Christian down on their knees praying for America God Bless America and Save us again
I wish radio station would play more of the old stuff again. I miss it. George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Tammy wynette, Vince Gill,Randy Travis,Marty Stuart,Boxcar Willie,Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash,I can go on with more but I think you no where I was going.
“Country music” radio isn’t country music, hasn’t been for years. Jamey is the real deal.
I agree with Jamey 10000%.
Only 10,000% why you holding back?
Just kidding, We are not wrong.
I agree! There are no stations that call themselves Country that actually plays country anymore. They remove the local DJs and cram the syndicated crap down our throats, screw Bobby Bones! Recently my car had a serious battery drain and they found it was the amplifier to my radio, I wasn't paying for a replacement with no warranty for my 2001 Tahoe so I now have no radio and I don't miss it at all since the stations I could get here in NC played rap crap and called it country! I guess I will just enjoy my phone music.
Thanks for the love and support always appreciated, How long have you been a fan of mine 🌹🎶♥️
.
Good for Jamey! I stopped lessening to "new" country radio many years ago. I actually didn't know who Jamey Johnson was until I saw this clip and looked him up. LOVE him and his music. He is the real deal.
Jamey u are a true country icon!,None better!!!, whiskey eyes and ashtray breath on a ter drop country road!
Truth is the majority of so called country stations don’t play traditional country music anymore. Hell, George Jones which is one of the legends of the industry couldn’t get his new songs played. People wan to hear traditional country like Jamey Johnson,Alan Jackson and many more too. I listen to Spotify nowadays and you can bet Jamey Johnson and many like him are all over my play lists.
The fact that they'd rather play pop and bro country over 90's country is beyond baffling. I want some Strait, AJ, and B&D dammit
I usually keep my radio tuned to Willie's roadhouse or outlaw country on Sirius radio.
I am a little stuck in between....No, in Central Florida, I have never heard his music on any radio station. I do believe that his music doesn't need to be on radio (UNLESS HE IS MAKING $$) because they suck, they choose whatever & tired of repeats or same musicians but different songs....BUY HIS MUSIC... GET THE $$ STRAIGHT TO THE AWESOME MUSICIANS.
45 Years ago today ! RIP Elvis ! The King!
You’re a bit behind….that was was yesterday.
@@kentuckygirl1971 Ur right! Saw him twice! I was 16 at the time ! Suppose to see him that following Sunday!
Aug 16th 1977
Country radio is as lost as Rock radio, neither one is self aware enough to understand their days of being great are long gone, & no amount of label pushed crap will ever change that.
I love JJ’s music! You’re gonna be somewhat of a cranky old bastard to write such blue eyed, human feeling into his music. 😀
JJ’s a gem!
I think this crap they’re playing now days, is just that….CRAP! It’s not country for sure. Just because there’s beer, trucks, hanging with the guys, choppin wood…etc.,etc doesn’t mean it’s country especially if it’s rapped.
KEEP COUNTRY, COUNTRY!! Down with bro country and tractor rap!!
He said what should have been said.
Ok. So I just searched him up and he’s pretty good.🥰
❤️
He doesn't fit their narrative. He's an actual talented artist and they are just pissed because he ain't gonna bow to the mainstream.
Well said. Jamey is an amazing artist. Old country with some twang, and you can feel the emotion. That's what makes a great songwriter and artist.
His music,gets radio stations here. In Topeka, Kansas.
As someone who always dreamed of being on the radio and now working in a top ten radio market, this stung a bit. But for those who say that single radio stations themselves are solely responsible for the current climate of mainstream country, it’s not just radio. Radio is just the outlet that it’s presented in. The issue at hand is much, much higher up and change needs to start from there first.
Speak your thoughts, you are a great entertainer.
I don't listen to the watered down version of what was once country music!but I will listen to Jamey Johnson!😶
Very good reporting. It exposed both sides without bias. Very unusual in today's partisan media.
Agree. It's becoming less and less.
Way to go Jamey Johnson!! Absolutely right, not our F'n music! I can't wait to see ya again Brother!
The writing is right there on the wall. People are tired of the bs spewing out of mainstream country stations. I wasn’t grateful enough to appreciate country music in my younger days but damn it was so much better back then, and I truly missed out. Steve Terreberry’s take on modern country is 99% accurate, meaning modern country is all buzzwords and one beat. Jamey Johnson gained even more of my respect for this.
Most "country radio" don't even play Toby Keith, Alan Jackson etc. anymore!! It's straight pathetic!!
This is not unusual for J.J. We went to see J.J. at Nutty Jerry's in Winnie, TX some time back. He snubbed an entire Hall that paid an extravagant amount of money to see him. Not once did he even acknowledge the crowd or anyone. He came out, played for about an hour or so and hauled tail. While he isn't under any commitment to stand by and shake hands with fans and autograph memorabilia, a lot of folks don't quite appreciate spending hard earned money that could have been allocated elsewhere, for an individual that seemed to be "put out" but still accepting those funds. Outlaw or not...a simple "Thank You" goes a long way. He's not in prison anymore and he doesn't have to put on being hard for us. A lot of us know the struggle and reach for his music to help those hard times. Good luck to him and safe travels.
Jamey has a reason to say that about stations. It’s all corporate, the music industry “Shelved all my songs” and screwed JJ out of Millions. So the radio station is the last step in the process but the first to bring the new FGL, Sam Hunt or Morgan Wallen. They are told what to spin and when JJ got out of his contract he stopped feeding the monster.
Corporate Radio,who play the same FRIGGEN 10 songs day in day out. To appease shareholders
More power to him, I say.
I saw him on the 40th Anniversary of The Last Waltz with Warren Haynes. He is a badass. Too much politicing in radio. Always has been. Give the artists their due.
AND WARREN HAYNES?
Lord All Mighty!!!!!!!!!!!
If I was Jaimie johnson , I would be fuming mad that the radio stations plays all the other garbage . Complete garbage is what most of it is anymore.
Good for Jamey Johnson
Jamie Johnson is the best concert I've ever been to. And I've seen them all
Saw him at the Warfield in SF, he had 12+ on stage with him, a drummer, percussionist, keyboard, steel guitar, 3 member horn section, multiple guitars, bass, it was great!
@@mikelanghorst Same here except it was in Jackson Tennessee. Full all out band steel quitar and horns western shirts cowboy hats and all. It was like going back in time.
@@jasonscott5101 same here, last night in Maryland heights, mo, best concert ever. Along with blueberry smoke
Truly unfortunate that this happened, but it's true that there are few outlets for outlaw/Alt country. The radio industry wants music that appeals to the masses, to max profits. Thank goodness for the few stations that do play it. Corporate ownership has not been good for radio listeners.
Alt country? Excuse me. He plays real country. Alt country is the bubble gum crap sung by pop stars with a southern accent.
I’m in Nebraska and I don’t listen to these country radio stations anymore and haven’t for years. I listen to Willie’s Roadhouse and Prime Country on XM. KX 96 was probably the best country radio station in Nebraska back in the 80’s, not anymore.
I understand his frustration. But more info should be given to the artists about who is promoting him. We still love you Jamey. All stations aren’t like Nashville stations. That’s one reason I love Texas radio. They play everybody. People that hear you love you!!
Janet your opinion is the truth!! We got your back!
I guess those radio personalities really got provoked and offended
Jamey Johnson just stating FACTS!
Hey I don't have any problem with what he said. I think it's pretty funny. I think he stated the facts.
Are you gonna believe a corporate radio station or a guy who actually puts in the work to create original country music? Your choice.
He's right. 100%. That shit they play most often is not country music in any sense of the word.
I wish I could’ve seen that in person!
I'm with Jamey on this one. Who stills listen to public radio anymore? Really.
I heard that Jamie got upset and told them off, you should’ve seen it in color
Mr. Johnson had every right to be pissed, and honestly, I probably would've said the same thing if it happened to me. This is like when Alan Jackson played choices at the CMA's.
Perfectly said💯🤘🏼 they didn’t ever want to give him any recognition… well said @Jamey_johnson
Right on Jamie! You speak the truth as you sing the truth in all your songs. From a Mobile Alabama fan you keep being you and we will all keep listening. All radio stations suck no matter what you listen to that's why I don't listen to radio.
Nice job Jamey, give them hell for playing pop and calling it country.
The stations are lucky to even get away with calling themselves ‘country music stations’. The main stations where I live have a list of about,maybe 20 songs, that they play on a loop all day and all night. It takes maybe a day or two at most with these stations playing n the background before I know every word to every one of those songs. It just gets beat into ur head, over and over and over, and it’s basically pop music with a very faint sound of country.
Country radio stations..... nah, they play main stream new age country pop. Not country at all. I love Jamey and real true country. Tell em Jamey 👏
Radio is dead, anyway. I enjoy my deep dives on my Spotify. I've discovered many underground/independent country artists on that platform, since that's where the real country is; underground.
Well in retrospect he probably wishes he wouldn’t of said that, but at the same time he is a legend and can say whatever he wants. I personally super happy we have a real country artist playing real country music.
Country music radio stations, program directors, and DJ's have been shitting on traditional sounding country music for years. This is why I don't listen to country radio. I am a songwriter and a singer and I've spent many years in Nashville and I'm well aware of the game.
Jamey just played in the Syracuse NY area (Waterloo NY) and to be honest I have no clue if any radio station here even mentioned it. No one here plays him and if they do it is In Color and that is it. I speak the same truth as Jamey when it comes to a lot of artists. Local radio will play and promote someone they normally don't play until the end of that concert. After that, you don't hear them on the same station.
He didn't "go off" on them.....he calmly and gently told them to go ferk off. And I agree with him 100 percent.
Jamey Johnson Love Him and his Music
He’s right!!
The stations only play a few artists/songs.
NO VARIETY!
Also NO REAL DJ’s anymore. They receive a signal from a mainframe in Bumfuck Egypt on a delay relay to our radios! 😡😡
Even satellite radio plays the same songs over and over!!🤬😡🤬😡🤬
This is hilarious - music radio has become insignificant -
Radio sucks period and Jamie’s music blows all the new pop country away if he’d wear skinny jeans and a brand new silly little cowboy hat played some college towns radio stations would play his records . Way to go brother Waylon and DAC would be proud . I’m proud of you
Jamey Johnson will never sell out... can't wait to see him in Mass..
The radio stations really play with what they want I really don't give a s*** about the real stations but you said it right Jamey Johnson you're all right my book
