As a young boy growing up in the American deep south, Johnson was constantly surrounded by blues and roots music. Everywhere you go, down through the fields, up and down the roads, there was always somebody playin' somethin'. You'd go to people's houses and there'd always be music. After people say all this stuff to you, it means a lot to get these things. We have fun.
Music is a fun thing.
We're not hurting anybody and we're making people dance and have fun. I get a lot of younger people at my show. They like my style. That's what keeps me going too, because a young boy likes what I do. We'd listen and hear Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Hank Snow and Hank Williams.
