Greg Johnson Music are delighted to announce the release of award-winning singer-songwriter GREG JOHNSON’s 13th studio album, Thunder In Fall, which will be released on February 22nd, 2024. 

A single, Rooster Tail, has already been released (December 2023) to great acclaim. In only four short weeks the track has already become one of Johnson’s best performing streamed songs.

Thunder In Fall, is an atmospheric and, at times, dark album about which Johnson says “I bought an old upright piano for two hundred dollars, sight un-seen.  It turned out to be a beautiful American Baldwin, with a wonderful sound.  So I decided to build the album around 5 main elements: the piano, analogue synth, some classic 808 drum machine, trumpet and voices.”

The album has been recorded at Johnson’s new Los Angeles-based recording studio and features a number of other well-known musicians – some familiar to Greg Johnson fans and others a very welcome new addition.  TED BROWN, BEN KING and MARK HUGHES, Johnson’s regular musical cohort, appear on the album. 

Thunder in Fall also features legendary English singer JULIA FORDHAM.  Johnson comments “Working with Julia was amazing.  She’s got such a distinctive voice and as a writer, she really pushed me to get to the heart of the subject.” 

Also contributing to the album is Caribbean guitar virtuosos and Grammy award-winning STEVE KATZ.  Johnson goes on to say “Steve Katz was in the studio working on another album which I was producing.  He took time out to play an incredible nylon string guitar on the track Grasslands.  I swear he could make a washing line sound virtuoso.  He’s a guitar God!”

Johnson concludes “I’m really pleased with this album.  It’s close to the sound I’ve been trying to achieve my whole career.”
