Editorial Review: Amazon.com: With a distinct, identifiable vocal snarl and the ability to write songs without constantly using half a dozen Music Row collaborators, Alabama native Jamey Johnson forcefully asserts his neotraditional bent on "The Dollar," a beautifully crafted high-impact cautionary about the modern conundrum of work versus family. His skill at delivering with utter clarity and lack of artifice enhances every performance, as he reinvents the timeless lost-love-and-redemption ballad with "Flying Silver Eagle" and on "My Saving Grace" thoughtfully counsels perseverance despite an alcoholic father. The generic "redneck" ditties currently in vogue get their moments with "Rebelicious" and "Redneck Side of Me." They pale, however, alongside Johnson's admirable storytelling on "She's All Lady," his witty Honkytonkers Anonymous vibe on "Keepin' Up with the Jonesin'" (with a superfluous cameo by George Jones) and the moving "Back to Caroline." The final surprise: a powerful gospel closer, "Lead Me Home." Debuts suffer if an artist lacks confidence or faces mediocre production and material. Those aren't issues for Johnson, who delivers refreshingly straight and honest. --Rich Kienzle Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - JJBecause of "Colors" I bought both Jamie Johnsons stuff. He can do southern rock stuff like "Ray Rays Juke Joint" and "Redneck Side of Me" (from the first CD) and thats all I need to hear. The rest is standard soft rock radio fare. Travis Tritt made the same mistake by not rockin it more like Toby Keith does. I like it hard, fast,loud,twangin & no girly stuff; but thats just me. Dude hits it from low down. Rating:  - A True Artist!If you are a fan of good ol'country music, this is an absolute must have for your collection! Jamey is a true artist that can not only drive home a heart felt balad, but can also craft an honest-to-God honky-tonkin',beer drinkin',good timin'song. If you ever get the opportunity to see him live....do not miss him!You will walk away believing that any song he sings was written for him. Vern Gosdin, Kieth Whitley,etc. The talent of this man and artists like him will keep "country" music alive. I would trade his debut album for every Garth Brooks,Tim McGraw,Kieth Urban,etc I could get my hands on. LOOKING FORWARD TO ALBUM #2 Jamey, if you see this...please include your "Beer Song" :) Rating: - True COUNTRY Music.Let me say this is a COUNTRY music album sung by a COUNTRY music singer. This is way better than some of these new artist like Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and Big & Rich who call themselves country music singers. I had heard the song The Dollar and thought not bad but I could not have told you who was singing it. That was until I was on the internet one day searching for new country music songs and I happened across a man named Jamey Johnson and a song he had called Keeping Up With The Jonesin' featuring George Jones. Now I am the biggest George Jones fan you will ever come across so I had to check this song out. I was happily surprised with what I had found. I found it to be a very good traditional country song. I figured if the Possum ... Read More: Rating: - Some great country music by a great singer/songwriter!When I first heard "The Dollar" on the radio, I was floored. Not only by the touching lyrics, but also by the traditional sound. I could tell that the guy singing it had a deep love for traditional country music, and was someone who stayed true to his roots. After listening to this album, I still say all that. THE DOLLAR is a great traditional country record. Sure, there are the contemporary "redneck anthems"--"Rebelicious," "Redneck Side of Me," even to an extent "Keepin' Up With the Jonesin"--but they are still better than a lot of their cousin songs. Johnson's true country gift, however, comes across in other ways. The enjoyable "Flying Silver Eagle" is one of the countriest songs I've heard in a long time ("I couldn't ...
