Johnson tours again

Fellow neo-traditional Easton Corbin and newcomer Ian Munsick join Johnson for many dates.

"There are few feelings more amazing than being on stage with my friends in front of all our fans," Johnson said. "I can't tell you how excited the whole gang is to finally be back on the road playing country music for you."
