MySpace a place for friends

Johnny has just finished recording his brand new 5-song EP (entitled "Now") in Nashville and will be set to release nationally very soon! Stay tuned for a release announcement!

Here's a note from Johnny: My producer - good friend and amazing talent Scotty Huff, ran the recording process like clockwork, as well as coordinated the video and marketing facets of the project. Scotty has toured the world… first with The Mavericks leading their horn section, then spending many years on tour alongside Keith Urban as his rhythm guitar/banjo player and background vocalist. You can see Scotty in many of the videos from Keith’s first three CD’s, including “Who Wouldn’t Want To Be Me”, ‘’Where The Blacktop Ends” and “Somebody Like You” among others… and that’s Scotty singing the high harmony on Keith’s song “Raining On Sunday” from the album “Golden Road”. Scotty is now focusing his many diverse talents producing other artists and projects allowing him to stay home off the road with his wonderful family.

Some stellar A-list touring musicians played on my CD… Tim Horsley on drums (formerly with Keith Urban, now touring with Gary Allan)… Jason Mowery on fiddle and mandolin (formerly with Keith Urban, now touring with John Fogerty)... Robbie Emerson on bass guitar (formerly with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, now touring with Jake Owen)… Steve King on keyboards, piano, organ (formerly with Keith Urban)… Mike Daly on pedal steel and dobro (formerly with the Gibson/Miller Band, now touring with Hank Williams, Jr.)… J.D. Simo on guitar (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Goo Goo Dolls, Santana)… Jimmy Herman on fiddle and utility (currently touring with Carrie Underwood)... and last but not least the background vocals feature none other than Country music royalty Jaime Hanna (who is now touring with Gary Allan)... and Rachel Proctor, who has a beautiful voice and is a super-talented singer/songwriter (she wrote Martina McBride’s song “Where Would You Be”), and also has a successful recording career herself with her hit “Me and Emily”.

We also filmed a music video for the 1st single “Old Fashioned Girl”. Directing the video, designing the CD artwork, doing the photo shoots and filming a documentary was the ultra-creative Glenn Sweitzer. He has done videos and designed artwork for many of Country’s top acts, including Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, JoDee Messina, and more. With a little luck and elbow grease we’ll be working to get the video for “Old Fashioned Girl” on GAC and CMT.

We’ll release the CD (it’ll be an ‘Enhanced EP’) sometime in early spring and it’ll contain the 5 songs as well as the video for “Old Fashioned Girl”! It’ll be available here on MySpace and Digital Rodeo as well as on iTunes and Amazon.com for download. You’ll be able to hear these songs live too as my band and I have been rehearsing and we’ll start playing shows in early spring! I have a great group of awesome musicians playing with me and I can’t wait for you to hear these guys rock!

Keep in touch with me here on MySpace, Digital Rodeo and on Facebook and Twitter… (if you’re on one of those and we’re not ‘friends’ feel free to add me). Thank you in advance for helping spread the word to your families and friends.
