The Dollar (2006)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Jan 31, 2006; Lead Performance: Jamey Johnson; Genre: Country

Jamey Johnson is one of country's more promising new acts, especially in storyteller mode — as with the mawkishly great title track of The Dollar, about a kid who literally tries to buy dad's time. But when he stoops to salaciuos redneck stuff like ''Rebelicious,'' you remember this is the guy who co-wrote Trace Adkins' ''Onky Tonk Badonkadonk.''
