Revival Tune-Ups No. 5 : Will Johnson / Centro-Matic

 

This next Revival Cycles Tune-ups guest playlist is a true mix from one of the most prolific musicians and artists of our time, Will Johnson.

Known for his solo work and his band of 25 years, Centro-Matic, Will has graced stages all over the world with acts such as Funland, Monsters of Folk (with Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Connor Oberst of Bright Eyes and M. Ward,) New Multitudes (Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo, and Anders Parker of Varnaline,) Overseas (David Bazan of Pedro the Lion and Matt and Bubba Kadane of Bedhead,) and his Johnson & Molina collaboration with the Late Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia Magnolia Electric Co. Check out his newest release, El Capitan.

As massive as Will's Musical output is, his outsider art is just as productive. What started out as a folk art tribute to early 20th Century Negro League Baseball heroes, has become another amazing creative offering.
