Johnson has released multiple albums since his time on “American Idol” including “Testify,” “Born from Southern Ground,” and “Mountain Mojo Vol. 1.”
According to Johnson’s website, Johnson was very proud of his most recent album.
“This is the best record I’ve done to date! Words cannot describe the gratitude I have to this amazing cast of musicians and team that brought this vision to life in such uncertain times,” he wrote. “THAT IS THE POWER OF MUSIC! Making this record got me through 2020. I hope listening to this album brings you as much joy as it brought me to make it! Much love and rock on!”
During an interview with Glide Magazine, Johnson opened up about the downsides of winning “American Idol.”
“Being on ‘American Idol’ was an amazing experience,” he shared. “It’s something I will forever cherish and it will truly have a special place in my heart. After the show, the people working behind the scenes did not have my best interests at heart. The year after was a real struggle for me.”
He added, “Unfortunately, I was under a lot of contracts. I couldn’t really do anything because I was locked in. Luckily, the time was just right. The show was cancelled and all my contracts were null and void.”
He then was able to go on tour with “KISS and Joan Jett, Sammy Hagar, Black Stone Cherry, Cheap Trick” and more.
“It’s been a blast and I’m looking forward to touring and playing rock and roll music for people.
“American Idol” will return in early 2022.
