What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



A gift from a mate. Another good one I had never heard of. Doesn't seem to have been active long as a solo artist.
Only showing three albums, of which this is his second and best known. Very Bowie-esque material and he does list
him as an influence, along with Beatles, Stones Who, Hendrix. This cd is a re-release of the 1980 original, of
which only the first 10 tracks here were included. The other six are listed as bonus tracks. Signed by Ringo's
label in 1977. Only one album released there which didn't do much. Became friends with Ringo though, and wrote some
tracks for his 1992 Time Takes Time album. Johnny moved to Elton Johns Rocket label for his follow up, this album,
which saw the most success in Australia. Peter Gabriel has a guest spot on the hit Screaming Jets, along with some
of his band members for the album. After the dismal performance of the follow up to this album Johnny gave up his
solo career for just writing. Penned songs for Starship, Cheap Trick and Asia. One other contribution of note was
as the Humble Pie vocalist at the Steve Marriott memorial concert in 2001. No chart action either here or in the
UK. Must have all taken place down under.
