about

Bravo Johnson's 'the crooked and the straight' is a work of rare beauty and raw intensity, a musical journey that takes us deep into the heart of the human experience. Johnson's unique blend of folk, blues, and psychedelia creates a sonic landscape that is both hauntingly familiar and strangely exotic, a place where ancient wisdom and modern disillusionment meet in a dance of light and shadow.

At times, Johnson's voice is a mournful cry, a lament for a world that has never found its way. But even in the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of hope, a sense of possibility that shines through the cracks. Johnson's lyrics are like poems, full of vivid imagery and poignant insights that capture the complexities of the human condition with a rare sensitivity and depth.

With 'the crooked and the straight,' Bravo Johnson has created a masterpiece, a musical work that speaks to our times with an urgency and honesty that is truly rare. Whether you're a fan of folk, blues, or psychedelic music, this album is a must-listen, a journey that will take you to places you never imagined and leave you forever changed."
