Johnny Nicholas - Mistaken Identity (2020) [Hi-Res]

The musical career of former Asleep At The Wheel frontman Johnny Nicholas is well documented, but his connection with South Louisiana music and culture and the influence it had on his storied musical career is not as well known. As a young man, Johnny hit the road hitchhiking and hopping freight trains in search of the artists and music he loved. His pilgrimages led him to experiences and relationships with many American music roots legends of the blues, western swing, honky tonk music and the melting pot for it all: South Louisiana and Southeast Texas. This album is a homecoming, bringing him back to the place where he cut his teeth and grew up musically on the prairies and bayou country of Southwest Louisiana in the 70 s. All but one of the songs on this album are originals that draw upon his many influences and experiences that have molded and defined him as a true Americana and Roots music artist.
