Singer Jamey Johnson arrested days after dropping his first album in more than a decade

Jamey Johnson released his fifth studio album, “Midnight Gasoline,” earlier this month. A little over a week after releasing his first album since 2011, singer Jamey Johnson was arrested Sunday just outside of Nashville. Ahead of the album’s release, he dropped six singles including “Sober” — in which the Grand Ole Opry member speaks about his struggle with sobriety in an industry that he said “glorifies drinking and other kinds of debauchery.” “I am 13 years sober now,” Johnson said on his website upon the release of “Sober” in early September. Perhaps explaining how long it took to release “Midnight Gasoline,” Johnson told The Times in 2010 that his fans have “been following us from the beginning, and they’ll follow us till the end.
