During his half-century in Nashville, Hank Cochran, who died in 2010, created a body of work so rich that this could have easily been a three-disc set. Instead, Johnson intersperses Cochran\u2019s most famous songs, such as \u201cI Fall to Pieces,\u201d with lesser-known gems. Backed by traditional arrangements and instrumentation, Johnson surrounds himself with both Cochran\u2019s contemporaries\u2014Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ray Price and Kris Kristofferson\u2014and some of the finest voices in mainstream country. Johnson shows a knack for matching singer and song, pairing the ethereal-voiced Alison Krauss with the romantic ballad \u201cMake the World Go Away\u201d and teaming up with Western swing luminary Ray Benson for the irreverent toe-tapper \u201cI Don\u2019t Do Windows.\u201d It\u2019s easy to imagine Cochran is somewhere listening and smiling. \u2013Juli Thanki<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMEY JOHNSON Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran [Mercury] It\u2019s fitting that Jamey Johnson, perhaps the best songwriter on the country scene, chose to honor one of the greatest and most prolific songwriters of all time.
