Country Music Award-winning songwriter Jamey Johnson discusses his recently released album "That Lonesome Song" in this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. Following an overwhelming run of hardships, Johnson went into a deep period of isolation, supporting himself by penning hits for Trace Adkins and George Strait. It took a full year, but he emerged from his slump rejuvenated with a new collection of songs in tow. In this session, Johnson explains how his recent divorce influenced the record, and he'll also talk about his country hero, Hank Williams.
