Dark Horse Pale Rider

by Joe Johnson

supported by

Joshua Korman Great collection of stripped down country tunes. Favorite track: Delia.

Concerts @539 A listener really should listen to the entire project from Dance With Me to Drunken Poet to receive the full impact of this project. I've known Joe for going on 10 years now and I truly believe this is his best to date. Nice guitar picking on this one, Joe. Favorite track: The Drunken Poet and His Old Guitar.

chelts This is a truly beautiful collection of songs! These songs are a journey for the heart and by the time I got to "The Drunken Poet and His Old Guitar" it was like I could feel that look of mutual gratitude that happens when you go to a bar show and you're one of the few really present for the music.. I'm sincerely grateful for these songs 🖤✌️ Favorite track: The Drunken Poet and His Old Guitar.

Co-produced and mixed by Ian Bourgal and mastered by Mike Mathei at Somewhere Else Studios, Colorado Springs.

All songs written and performed by Joe Johnson except "Amazing Grace", traditional performed by Joe Johnson, Rebecca Adams, Jennie Manko, and Grant Sabin.

This album is dedicated to the memory of three irreplaceable souls gone from this world - my mother Janis Stringfield, and my brothers Duane Mark and Iggy Igloo.
