Freedy Johnston featuring Mieka Pauley February 25, 2006

Over the past decade, Freedy Johnston has quietly emerged as one of the most significant songwriters of our generation. His 1990 debut on Hoboken?s Bar None Records, The Trouble Tree, got a warm reception from those lucky enough to discover it, especially in Holland, where it spawned a hit single. This Perfect World, Johnston?s 1994 Elektra debut, was another big step forward. A lush Butch Vig Production that extended his unbroken streak of critical praise, it featured his first U.S. hit, ?Bad Reputation.? Rolling Stone named Freedy their songwriter for the year and declaired, in a four-star review, that ?Freedy has joined the elite cadre of songwriters?Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Elvis Costello?whose brilliant pop compositions turn magical with the addition of a defiantly idiosyncratic singing voice.?
