Johnson debuts "The Painter" video, launches tour today
"The Painter" is Cody's current Top 10 hit and the debut single off his album, "Leather," released last November. The video for the song was directed by Dustin Haney ("'Til You Can't" / "Human") and filmed on Johnson's ranch in Texas just before the holidays.
The film includes Johnson performing the song in an outdoor landscape shot in black and white. As the video unfolds, it depicts early scenes of Johnson's relationship with his wife, Brandi and how as she believes in and supports his dreams. Those scenes appear in color as she is 'the painter.' Brandi makes a cameo at the end of the video as Johnson's performance slowly yields to color.
"The Leather Tour" launches this weekend with two sold-out concerts in Sacramento and Anaheim, Cal. The tour currently runs through September with several sold-out dates so far including Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Feb. 2. This will be Johnson 's first headline concert in this Nashville venue. The night before that concert, Johnson will perform on the Grand Ole Opry.

Then again, Cody Johnson Christmas music is something most every country music-loving fan should want, so the non-surprise factor is not a big disappointment.
This 10-song album includes mostly familiar songs, including a traditional country arrangement of Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper. ...
It's not always easy to put your finger on why a particular artist moves you emotionally. It can be due to smart, Elvis Costello-like wordplay, or Vince Gill-esque instrumental greatness. Cody Johnson's "Ain't Nothin' To It" doesn't always shine with exemplary poetic couplets, nor striking musicianship. This is not to say the lyrics and music aren't bad, either. No, it's just that Johnson's authentic country voice is ultimately what makes the first ...
The sixth independent release from Southeast Texas singer/songwriter Cody Johnson is hit and miss. There are some good tunes that recall the '90s era work of George Strait, but there are some weak songs and most tracks are saddled with over-production from Trent Willmon.
The opening title track is one of the stronger tunes, reminiscent not only of Strait, but a touch of Hank Williams as well, with Johnson proclaiming an affinity for past country legends ("I cut my teeth on/Those ...
