Jamey Johnson
I was beginning to wonder when Jamey Johnson was going to get around to releasing a new album, and now we know.

Jamey Johnson's next album won't be a solo effort, but rather a collaborative celebration of Hank Cochran’s music with Jamey singing duets with some really big names.  

“Livin’ for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran” will include artists such as Willie Nelson, George Strait, Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello and many others, each singing a duet on one of Cochran's biggest hits with Johnson. The album will hit stores September 25 on vinyl and October 16 in all other formats. The album will feature 16 tracks.

Cochran passed away in 2010 at the age of 74.
