Jamey Johnson Invited To Become Next Member Of The Grand Ole Opry

Tonight, Jamey Johnson, 17 years after his very first Grand Ole Opry appearance, has been invited to become the next member of the Grand Ole Opry by Whispering Bill Anderson. 

Signed to BNA Records in 2005, Johnson made his debut with his single "The Dollar", the title track to his 2006 album The Dollar. Johnson was dropped from BNA in 2006 and signed to Mercury Nashville Records in March 2008, releasing his second album, the gold-certified and massively critically acclaimed That Lonesome Song. This album produced two singles, the Top 10 hit "In Color" and "High Cost of Living". Johnson has since released two more albums, The Guitar Song in 2010 and Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran in 2012. In addition to most of his own material, Johnson has co-written singles for Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, Trace Adkins, James Otto, Joe Nichols and Jessie James Decker. In 2006, George Strait reached No. 1 on the Country chart with "Give It Away", a song-of-the-year winner which Johnson co-wrote with Bill Anderson and Buddy Cannon.
