O’s Notes: Johnny is an All-American boy. He sings his heart out on these dozen ballads. There is no rap, no salty discussions or talk of ill refute, just love, people and hearty experiences. Rogers wrote all of the tunes and it is a refreshing trip back to the ideals of America as many of us wish it was still today. We liked the hints of Latin rhythms on “She” best with Randy Brecker making a guest appearance on flugelhorn. This is just one of many good songs. Johnny plays piano as well while Joe Ravo (g), Danny Mallon (d) and Brian Glassman (b) fill anchor the band.
