2012 release, a tribute to Country songwriting legend Hank Cochran.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Classic Country Record October 26, 2012
By Tom
Format:Audio CD
The intent is fully realized: a loving tribute to one of the greatest country songwriters, headed by a superb country artist and supported by one of the most impressive all-star casts ever assembled. The result is not only a tribute to classic country music itself, but perhaps the best introduction possible to one of the treasures of classic country music.
Jamey Johnson lives the songs of Hank Cochran so honestly, one would think he wrote them himself. He displays the great difference between singing a song and channeling the emotion, and every guest artist on the album matches Johnson's depth and nuance.
Not everyone can listen to decades old recordings of original artists and consider them anything but a piece of history. The greatness of this album is that Jamey Johnson and cohorts bring these fantastic songs to a new audience, and in doing so make them sound not merely new, but timeless.
For my money, this is one of the best albums of the year of any genre. My highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The music from my Texas roots October 19, 2012
Format:Audio CD
This is the country music I grew up with, listening to my sisters and Daddy singing together. Country/Western music today is barely a shadow of the beauty and heartache of these songs, thank you Jamey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back in time October 17, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received this cd yesterday after waiting what seemed like forever. This is so unbelievably wonderful. True country. Takes you back to real country music not this pop so called country music. I can count on one hand the country artists that are true country artists today and Jamey is for sure country. Wouldnt expect anything less from Jamey. Definitely think i will be listening to this one over and over again! This is so worth the purchase!.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really not familiar with Cochran
A little disappointed in this CD. I thought I'd know more of the songs but I didn't. My bad. Most of the songs had the same theme of broken hearts. Typical 60s country stuff
