A gifted songwriter whose lyrics paint sometimes witty, often poignant portraits of characters often unaware their own failings, Freedy Johnston seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the early '90s and quickly established himself as one of the most acclaimed new singer/songwriters of the day. While the character studies of Johnston's lyrics get the most attention, he has a gift for melodies that wed pop melodicism with folk-influenced simplicity, as typified by 1992's Can You Fly and 1994's This Perfect World, the latter featuring his best-known song, "Bad Reputation." When Johnston's tenure with the major labels ended with 2001's Right Between the Promises, his recording schedule slowed down considerably, but 2010's Rain on the City and 2022's Back on the Road to You confirmed his style and his talent were still serving him well.Presented by Music Box of Rockford.
