Johnson takes "The Fall"
The debut was followed by a YouTube after party premiere with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video. The video was directed by Dustin Haney ('Til You Can't, Human, The Painter, Dirt Cheap).
The clip bridges together two sides of Johnson's life, the cowboy and the entertainer. World champion bull fighter Cody Webster stars in the leading role playing the rider who gets beaten up and thrown down, but he gets back up to ride again. The film changes imagery of Johnson performing the song in a dark field in the pouring rain and the bull fighter who proves over and over again the ride is indeed worth the fall.
"The Fall" is the second single off Johnson's "Leather Deluxe Edition" album and was written by Bobby Pinson, Jeremy Stover and Ray Fulcher.
The video's premiere falls on the heels of Johnson's second-annual COJO Championship Event, held in Benton, Texas last week. Johnson was unable to attend due to his recent emergency surgery to repair a burst ear drum.

"A Cody Johnson Christmas" is like one of those Christmas presents where, no matter how much you attempt to disguise it with wrapping, it's no surprise what's inside after it's opened. 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 ...
