He was born in Germany and lives in London. But the rough, plaintive voice of Johnny Wrong is 100% steeped in the American country tradition.
Even without reading his bio, one listen to “These Bars Are Made Of Iron” spells out the influences that drive the music of Johnny Wrong: the warble of Hank Williams, the pain of Johnny Cash, the poetry of Townes Van Zant.
Johnny Wrong says he’s a working man, a normal bloke, a builder who creates with his hands, who comes home at night with “these words” spinning around in his head.
He lays down his songs on a cheap MP3 recorder and then casts them out upon the waters to float among back to the Deep South, to Memphis, to Nashville, to Muscle Shoals where American country music began.
