Johnson doesn't attempt to draw attention to himself, but instead, presents a series of excellent performances of Cochran's songs with himself as an anchor.
#JAMEY JOHNSON TRIBUTE TO HANK COCHRAN RAR PROFESSIONAL#
Johnson's connection to Cochran - a legendary songwriter who passed in 2010 - was personal and professional all artists appearing here either knew the man or recorded his songs. Here he assembles 16 tracks with a slew of guests to sing with him. Jamey Johnson's Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran is a risky offering because it's his follow-up to 2010's Grammy-nominated, gold-selling Guitar Song. As a rule, tribute recordings are a mixed bag they tend to be well-intentioned yet fall short of the mark musically.
