Jamey Johnson, “Even the Skies Are Blue (edit)”
When I think back to last year’s The Guitar Song, I don’t get far past my mental review of the record. Which went something like: Concept double-album abandoned in favor of a handful of solid songs, some slavish country traditionalism, and amiable, jammy time-filler.(*)
When I actually pop The Guitar Song into the stereo, what I get is good times. Good times and this song, which bypasses all objection by finding the shortest distance between my ear and that dark thing in the gut what makes the throat swell.
(*) Including some interesting left-field quotes. And it is hard to blame anyone for not wanting to cut Eddie Long short. He is greatness.
