Jamey Johnson's latest collection, 'The Guitar Song,' was recently certified gold by the RIAA for more than 500,000 units sold. He was presented with a plaque commemorating the accomplishment during a gathering with his label at Nashville's the Palm restaurant Friday (February 18).

The singer-songwriter thanked his band, producers, record label and everyone involved behind-the-scenes for their involvement in making the album a success. "Everybody in this room has earned their money," he said with a laugh, "and I appreciate it."

"We get positive feedback from the audience every night, so that is our thank you," Jamey continued. "But the people who work behind the scenes that maybe aren't on the road with us and don't get that immediate feedback, that immediate thank-you from people, it's real important for them to get to come out and share a night like this with everyone else."
