Cody Johnson Is Bringing Back 90’s Music
Cody Johnson wants his next album to have a 90’s feel to it, but he’s not just saying that.
He’s digging up songs written before 2000 that may have “slipped through the cracks.”
His team threw a party and invited successful, old school songwriters. We’re talking people who wrote or co-wrote songs like Chattahoochee, Stranger in my House, and Love Without End, Amen.
A Music City insider said, quote,
“I’ve never had that request before. That’s what made it so intriguing . . . that they don’t want any of the modern stuff.”
A rep said Cody’s drawn to “classic songwriting without the current terminology or phrasing.” So instead of hearing another take on “Cruise” or “Body Like a Back Road”, Cody’s new album will be fresh, by being old. And classic.
