That Lonesome Song (Mercury Nashville, 2008) by Jamey Johnson

This is one of my favorite country albums ever.  Johnson's incredible songwriting and emotional delivery makes for a very compelling listen.  I received this album as a gift right before spring break one year and took it with me to Florida.  In a nutshell, those Florida vacations were some of the most relaxing and carefree experiences of my childhood, and Johnson's album sucked the joy out of all of it that year.  That's how powerful the music is.  "Mowin' Down the Roses" especially is really amazing.
