One of country music’s favorite modern-day cowboys has an album coming in the fall of 2021, but the wait for new music won’t last that long.
The singer says he chose to record “Til You Can’t,” which was written by Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers, because of its message of optimism and focus on perseverance.
That wasn’t the only reason he cut the track, though: The catchy, feel-good tune has a sound that he believes will stick with fans.
“Longer Than She Did” shows another side of Johnson, giving fans a glimpse into just how good he can make heartbreak can sound.
Johnson explains that it reminded him of something the brother duo might put out, “and everybody knows how much I love those guys,” he says.
The June 11 release date of the two new tracks also marks the start of Johnson’s tour, a run that includes two sold out dates at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on June 18 and 19.
