Jamey Johnson - 2008 - High Cost of Living [originally posted on 6/16/2009]

This here is a country song. I grew up hearin' “shit-kickin'“ songs, as we called them. I lost interest until Waylon and Willie came back along. I've been to Willie's Fourth of July Party. 

Anywho... This is Jamey Johnson. He covers some of Waylon's songs, but I like his own writing. One of my favorites is “High Cost of Living” from the Sound of him being released. I've been there - I know what the cost of gettin' high is about! This here is a blues song, written and sung by a country singer, who is one of the best to come down that road in awhile.
