The lead single from Jamey Johnson’s forthcoming album (due in stores September 14) is “Playing the Part.” The song will be available to country radio stations across the country TODAY at 3pm ET  and available for download on iTunes on August 24.   

The Guitar Song is a 25-song double album with thematically linked sets of songs dubbed the Black Album and the White Album. “The original idea was always to do a double album,” says Johnson. “It is an album that is a tale. The first part is a very dark and sordid story. Then everything after that is progressively more positive, reassuring and redemptive.”

The Guitar Song will also be available as a limited-edition, black and white triple LP vinyl set that includes a deluxe lyric book.
