about

This solo CD was recorded by my late husband Craig Johnson, and came out a few months before his death in 2009. It was originally issued by Tim Brown on 5-String Productions and is now out of print.

"This recording is a collection of some of my favorite traditional Southern songs, interspersed with some fiddle and banjo tunes, as well as a handful of songs I wrote during a period of uncharacteristically original thought".

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott
