Cody Johnson’s Rockin’ CJB Cover Merle Haggard’s ‘Mama Tried’ [DISTANT REPLAY]

The lead singer gets all the attention. It's just how it goes. Which is cool and to be expected – except when you’ve got an immensely talented band behind you. This is the case for Cody Johnson. Ya know, sometimes the boys just gotta showcase what they're working with.

It was nearly one year ago when Johnson's Rockin' CJB showed off their pickin' and jammin' skills covering Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" on the tour bus. Pure greatness.

Cody Johnson's latest single “On My Way To You" has spent 15 of the past 18 weeks at No. 1 in Texas, and is his first Billboard Top 15. His newest album Ain't Nothin' To It, debuted in January at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart -- six weeks after its release is still sitting inside the Top 20.
