Episode Details

Country music legend Jamey Johnson joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a deep, unfiltered conversation about songwriting, storytelling, and staying true to traditional country roots. Jamey takes us back to his early days in Alabama, working odd jobs, serving in the military, and eventually answering the call to Nashville. We also dive into touring with Riley Green, his respect for artists like Chris Stapleton and Zach Top, mentoring young musicians, and advice he received from Willie Nelson. Jamey gives us his Mount Rushmore of country music and great, never-before-told stories of Rhett Akins and Brock Lesnar. From timeless songs to timeless values, this episode is a masterclass in what country music was, is, and should be.
