Nick Johnson’s soul is a hundred years old. Well versed in the great folk and blues legends of ages past, Johnson’s own art is soaked with a similar timelessness that eludes many of his contemporaries. His stories live somewhere on the edge of familiarity, like an old friend offering a cigarette, but the tales are open enough to make your own. Johnson sings, “Time ain’t future, just past and present/Oh darlin’ can’t you see?/The way you shine so bright for me/Oh I am the night, but I’m still not free/There’s three white horses followin’ me.” — there’s that notion of history again.
In a world over saturated with singer-songwriters, finding someone as genuine as Nick Johnson is rare. He’s not trying to hide anything—his influences are on his sleeve, and his singing and playing are shockingly raw and unbridled. If the world’s bullshit is getting you down, don’t worry, Nick Johnson is here to remind you not to fret about tomorrow, because today isn’t even over yet.
