See Johnny Live

I'd rather be alone - inside these prison walls 〰️ With the front door locked and the light on at the end of the hall 〰️ There’s a whole universe of love 〰️ In every world of hurt. 〰️ Wish I could eat just beans and rice/every day I’d eat the same meal twice 〰️

“He’s the musical equivalent of a shotgun preacher with the armoury of a military junta. Johnny has been sent on mission to expand the sound of Americana.”

— Sloucher

“Like some Dramamine-soaked response to Johnny Cash’s AMERICAN RECORDINGS, its stark, bleak tales of back-road behavior and questionable after-dinner practices immediately stuck themselves to the back of my head like fingernails across the wall of a falling elevator.”

— Gary Pig Gold
