Jamey Johnson adds, “I have always enjoyed Chris’ ability to hold an audience captive to his stories and his songs so it has been a real joy having him open my shows over the years and he has been a great addition to my band. This new album not only shows what a great songwriter and musician he is but it also serves as a reflection of his strong faith and his loyalty to God, his family, his friends and his country.”

A member of Jamey Johnson’s band since 2012, he has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and many more.
More from Jamey Johnson on Chris Hennessee: “I met Chris Hennessee around January of 2000 when I first moved to Nashville. Like so many other songwriters and musicians, I would frequent the famous watering holes on lower Broadway looking for any sort of connection i could make with someone in the music industry and falling short of that I would settle for a chance to sing a country song to whoever cared to listen.
Most of the guys who had secured themselves a house gig in one of those bars would be stingy with the microphone when approached by a stranger asking for a turn but Chris was never the selfish type. He would always let me join his band for a song or two if he saw me in the crowd.”
