Singer Jamey Johnson arrested days after dropping his first album in more than a decade
As a seasoned music enthusiast with decades of listening under my belt, I find myself constantly astounded by the tumultuous lives that some artists seem to lead. Jamey Johnson, a man who has penned songs with legends like Willie Nelson and George Strait, is yet another example of an artist whose personal struggles have made headlines.
Approximately a week and a half following the debut of his latest album (released in 2011), country singer Jamey Johnson was taken into custody on Sunday, located just beyond the borders of Nashville.
A well-known country musician who collaborated with Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and George Strait, is facing a felony drug charge following a speeding incident involving the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The artist behind “In Color” could potentially be fined up to $5,000 if found guilty, as reported by The Tennessean. According to Rolling Stone, marijuana was discovered in his vehicle during the stop. This individual is set to appear in court on February 6 in a Williamson County courtroom.
Currently, it’s been verified that Jamey Johnson was taken into custody on Sunday, November 17th, in Williamson County. Tennessee Highway Patrol Sergeant Andrew Perez made this announcement via email to The Times, indicating that the case is still being investigated.
On Tuesday, neither Johnson’s representatives nor officials from the Williamson County sheriff’s office or district attorney’s office provided an immediate response when The Times asked for a comment.
The arrest occurred not long after Johnson unveiled “Midnight Gasoline,” his first album in over a decade. Prior to the album’s debut, he had already shared six pre-released singles such as “Sober,” where the Grand Ole Opry member discusses his personal struggle with sobriety amidst an industry that he described as celebrating drinking and various forms of excess.
Johnson celebrated 13 years without alcohol recently, as stated on his website with the release of ‘Sober’ in early September. He hasn’t had a drink since 2011 and recognizes that he could choose to have one today. It’s a constant battle, fought on a daily basis, even hour by hour.
He said that the majority of the spots where he spends time are bars because that’s where many of his friends are. However, now he can socialize in these places without drinking as much as he once did.
In 2016, several members of Johnson’s musical group were apprehended in Mississippi for illegal drugs, yet Johnson himself avoided charges. Recently, another country artist, Darius Rucker, faced similar circumstances – an arrest for minor drug offenses – this time in Williamson County.
Although Johnston took a break from recording for ten years, he has been actively touring. Recently, he performed at a five-hour tribute concert alongside Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Eric Church, and other musicians to honor Robbie Robertson, the Canadian musician who passed away last year at 80.
Back in 2010, when asked about the release of “Midnight Gasoline” by The Times, Johnson noted that his supporters had been with them since the start and would continue to be there until the end, implying a long-standing relationship between him and his fans.
In my case, I’m not pursuing any form of commercial achievement either. It seems like we share that common ground, doesn’t it?
