Cody Johnson’s Band Tackles Merle Haggard’s ‘Mama Tried’
The lead singer gets all the attention. It's just how it goes. Which is cool and expected – except when you’ve got an immensely talented band behind you. This is the case for Cody Johnson, sometimes the boys just gotta show off what they've got.
This week The Rockin' CJB showed off their pickin' and jammin' skills covering Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried."
Cody Johnson Band’s latest single “Wild As You,” off their album Gotta Be Me spent several weeks at No.1 in 2017. We are expecting new music from the Cody and company soon. See the band covering George Strait here.
