Jamey Johnson Releases Midnight Gasoline Album

Jamey Johnson's upcoming album 'Midnight Gasoline,' set for release on November 8, marks his first solo project in 14 years and was inspired by the death of his friend Toby Keith. Keith's passing served as a wake-up call for Johnson, motivating him to return to the studio and complete the album, which features 30 songs recorded at the iconic Cash Cabin. Johnson reflected on his struggles with alcohol addiction, which he has largely overcome, stating he has been sober since 2011 and that alcohol was an 'incendiary way of destructing' himself. The album is part of a series he plans to release, drawing from personal experiences and influences from those he has lost. Johnson acknowledges Keith's unmatched songwriting talent and reflects on their collaborations prior to Keith's death. His journey reveals a significant transformation, fueled by a desire to reclaim his artistry and life.
