Jamey Johnson Tour Will Celebrate Hank Cochran

Jamey Johnson released his latest album, Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran, on Oct. 16, and took the stage last week for a sold-out show at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium. Next month, the award-winning singer-songwriter will embark on a fall tour in support of the album, beginning in Knoxville, Tenn. on Nov. 8. The trek ends Dec. 31 in Jamey's hometown of Montgomery, Ala., at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre.

Jamey will be accompanied by musicians Chris Hennessee and Wayne Mills on select dates throughout the tour. A list of tour dates is found below, with more expected to be announced soon.

Living for a Song album features Jamey and a "who's-who" gathering of his fellow artists offering up versions of classic songs written or co-written by the late Hank Cochran, whose vast catalog of tunes includes some of the best-known in country and pop music. From "Make the World Go Away," the Eddy Arnold hit Jamey performs with Alison Krauss, to the album's title cut, which features Jamey, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Hank himself, the collection is a loving tribute to the memory of the songwriting giant who passed away in 2010 at age 74. Other artists on the album include Merle Haggard, Elvis Costello, George Strait, Lee Ann Womack and more.
