Jamey Johnson is the first to admit that his unconventional appearance and his penchant for writing and recording hard country songs might scare some people off. But the man who just this week picked up his second CMA Award for Song of the Year has made plenty of friends in the music business. There is however, one friendship Jamey treasures over the rest."[My daughter] is pretty much my best friend," Jamey tells GAC in the documentary, 'Introducing Jamey Johnson.' "Of course that's kind of weird to be a 30-something-year-old man and having a 4-year-old for your best friend, but it works for us."
In the few days a year that Jamey is home, his favorite way to spend their father-daughter time is just hanging out around the house.
"My number one favorite thing to do is just stay home and play with [her]," Jamey says. "She has gotten to be such an important part of my life now."
Jamey was recently announced as one of the acts on next year's Country Throwdown tour, along with Montgomery Gentry, Jack Ingram, Little Big Town and more.

No it just means she looks up to you and admires you. I am the same way to some degree with my father and I am 39. I remember calling myself Royce Jr because I copied so many of his jestures and things. I am still that way now. There are even times when we say things at the exact same moment and it wasnt even planned. So that singer's daughter is just gone overboard like me with the daddy's little girl thing that's all.

Nothing wrong with saying your daughter is your best friend. You are a truly talented songwriter and singer, who sings tradional country music. Your daughter should be proud! I cna honestly say that hanging out with my kids is the best thing to do. Soon, they will be grown-up and gone, so we are going to enjoy it. And usually there is some good ol' Jamey Johnson music playing in the background!;)
