Ain't Nothin' to It

Ain't Nothin' to It

Johnsonâ€™s introductory Warner project,Ainâ€™t Nothinâ€™ 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 â€“ including Chris Stapleton, Radney Foster and Brothers Osborne guitarist John Osborne â€“ came to the table with songs that suited Johnsonâ€™s 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 â€œDoubt Me Nowâ€ to the devoted family man in the title track to the self-penned ex-bull rider in â€œDear Rodeoâ€ to the devoted Christian in â€œHis Name Is Jesus.â€Johnson wears his musical influences on his sleeve â€“ referencing George Strait in â€œWhen Cowboys Were King,â€ Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw in â€œYâ€™all Peopleâ€ and Johnny Cash, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen in â€œMonday Morning Merle.â€ Two choice covers further meld his personality with his musical taste. â€œHusbands and Wives,â€ a song that recognizes the day-to-day difficulties of holding a marriage together, is Johnsonâ€™s way of tipping a hat to one of countryâ€™s ultimate songwriters, the late Roger Miller. And â€œLong Haired Country Boyâ€ has The Cody Johnson Band playing up his rebel side with a song established by The Charlie Daniels Band (yes, thatâ€™s the CJB covering the CDB). But Johnsonâ€™s version is filtered through the grizzly tone of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr. and Brantley Gilbert.
