Johnsons introductory Warner project,Aint Nothin to It, ups the ante. After writing the bulk of his previous material, he put out word in Nashville that he was open to songs from other sources, and the results were astonishing. A-list writers including Chris Stapleton, Radney Foster and Brothers Osborne guitarist John Osborne came to the table with songs that suited Johnsons life and disposition. Music fans who are just now coming to the table will get a quick understanding of Johnson, from the rowdy troublemaker in the swampy Doubt Me Now to the devoted family man in the title track to the self-penned ex-bull rider in Dear Rodeo to the devoted Christian in His Name Is Jesus.Johnson wears his musical influences on his sleeve referencing George Strait in When Cowboys Were King, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw in Yall People and Johnny Cash, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen in Monday Morning Merle. Two choice covers further meld his personality with his musical taste. Husbands and Wives, a song that recognizes the day-to-day difficulties of holding a marriage together, is Johnsons way of tipping a hat to one of countrys ultimate songwriters, the late Roger Miller. And Long Haired Country Boy has The Cody Johnson Band playing up his rebel side with a song established by The Charlie Daniels Band (yes, thats the CJB covering the CDB). But Johnsons version is filtered through the grizzly tone of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr. and Brantley Gilbert.
