Jamey Johnson's Long-Awaited Return with Release of New Single "Saturday Night in New Orleans"

Jamey Johnson released "Saturday Night in New Orleans" on October 25, 2024, as part of his upcoming album "Midnight Gasoline." The track, co-written by Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Tony Joe White, marks Johnson's return to original studio work after a 14-year hiatus.

"Midnight Gasoline," produced by Dave Cobb, continues the collaboration between Johnson and Cobb, who previously worked together on Johnson's albums "That Lonesome Song" and "The Guitar Song." The new album is part of the Cash Cabin Series, recorded at the Cash Cabin Studios in Hendersonville, TN.

Johnson describes the songs on "Midnight Gasoline" as "just glimpses of my life. Some of them are just funny stories, and not all of them were written recently." This suggests that "Saturday Night in New Orleans" may offer listeners a personal insight into Johnson's experiences or observations.

While specific tour dates for promoting "Saturday Night in New Orleans" have not been announced, Johnson has been performing new songs from "Midnight Gasoline" during his ongoing "What a View" tour.

The release of "Saturday Night in New Orleans" and the "Midnight Gasoline" album represents a significant moment for fans of the award-winning singer-songwriter, as it signals Johnson's return to releasing original studio material after more than a decade.
