Johnny Falstaff

"Alright Alright" single

(Self-issued)



Assuming you're fortunate enough to stumble into the right honky-tonk on the right night, you'll witness one of the rewards life offers regular folks. Johnny's loping rendition - call it either Ameripolitan or alt-country, both apply - encourages solidarity as its narrator laments absent love. But don't let that disconsolance birth misapprehension; there's fetching rhythm afoot, its sway sufficient to stir reveling legions. Telecaster at hand, possessed of an offhand drawl, and backed by a sure-footed combo that includes six-string doyen Kenny Vaughn, bassist Dave Roe, an drummer Pete Abbott,  Johnny stands tall as a Country authentic. And there aren't many of those in 2024.
