The Buzz on Troy Johnson "What if John Mayer added a mournful banjo and Chicago-style horns to his pop hits? Texas-born Troy Johnson has sung on everyone else's records, now it's his turn. - Jim Nelson Sr. V.P. Editor, Triple A Radio.com "Troy Johnson's album " 12" draws on blue-eyed soul and classic rock for a timeless sound that has more in common with Elton John or van Morrison than any of his young rock peers." - Micheal McCall, Nashville Scene High points on the disc include " Sweet Summertime" which would fit nicely into the Ray Charles songbook; a gritty folk rocker titled " Cold Spot" that rises to the level of the best of John Mellencamp; a smattering of anthemic ballads ( "Airplane" , " Everybody" ) that bring to mind the solid songcraft of Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik. - Performing Songwriter "12" the record Troy Johnson made in 2004, is the kind of watershed collection that Nashville doesn't see enough of and could surely use more of. Peter Cronin-Sesac Focus Magazine Troy Johnson would have to be my favorite discovery of 2004. " 12" is an absolute great disc. Mattson Rainer- KNBT FM, New Braunfels "Fingertips" peaked at # 104 and stayed on the FMQB Triple A charts for over 10 weeks. " Airplane" peaked at # 78 on FMQB Triple A Chart Current tour highlights include dates with Mindy Smith, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Soul of John Black, Robbie Fulks, Hootie and the Blowfish and Teiter.
