Jamey Johnson’s new single, “Playing the Part,” is playing at radio stations as of Aug. 9. On Aug. 24 the song will make its way onto iTunes for downloading. The single is the first from Johnson’s upcoming double album, titled The Guitar Song.
 
The 25-song album is planned to be a combination of two albums containing thematically similar sets of songs. The sets are known as the Black Album and the White Album. Johnson said a double album is what has been in the works for some time.
 
“It is an album that is a tale,” he said explained. “The first part is a very dark and sordid story. Then everything after that is progressively more positive, reassuring and redemptive.”
 
“The Guitar Song” is Johnson’s follow up to his Grammy-nominated The Lonesome Song.
 
The Guitar Song is due out on Sept. 14 and will also be available as a limited edition, black and white triple LP vinyl set, including a deluxe lyric book.
