Chanteur Country US né le 13 Juin 1946 à Washington (District Of Colombia).
Mike Johnson was born in 1946 in Washington, DC to
Margaret and Joseph Johnson. He is the oldest of their three children; his two
sisters are Renee and Gail.
He went to a Catholic grade school and later attended the Mackin Catholic High
School which was staffed by the Jesuits, graduating in 1965. Later that year, he
joined the United States Navy and served his country in two tours of Viet Nam
while stationed aboard the USS Constellation from 1967 to 1969.
In his newsletter, Mike cites his early influences were the likes of the singing
cowboys such as Gene Autry,
Roy Rogers and
Tex Ritter steered him to country
music. He delved into the music of Jimmie Rodgers, American's Blue Yodeler,
Hank
Williams, Johnny Cash and
Roger Miller. Mike notes that
Roger Miller was the one
who inspired him to become a songwriter himself. He notes, "I Just wanted to be
a songwriter. But I've had to do everything else along the way to get there!"
Mike is best noted for his unique combinations of
Jimmie Rodgers-style and Swiss-Style
yodeling. This versatility as well as being the most publicized, commercially
recorded and consistently performing Black Yodeler earned him the undisputed
title of country music's "No. 1 Black Yodeler".
In mid-1960's, Mike was singing and performing at numerous bars and honky-tonks
trying as many young stars do to get themselves heard, honing their talents and
stage presence.
Sometimes one may feel one thing leads to another. Mike signed on with Newlon's
Transfer of Virginia as a long distance trucker. This venture as he calls it,
proved to be a major factor in establishing Mike as a known artist on the
Independent Country Music circuit. Mike joined Newlon's in September 1981 and
remained with them until they went out of business in 1995. Mike continued the
life of truck driving, hooking up with INterstate Van Lines for about a year and
a half. He then went to Apple Transfer where he stayed for about six years.
Mike notes that the senior Newlon's were country music fans. And were fans of
Mike's musical efforts. Mrs. Newlon made sure her son, Butch, routed Mike to
destinations where Mike could also make his personal appearances.
We will delve more into his career as this writeup develops, but it is safe to
say, that after doing everything else to get there, he did find the time to
write the songs. To date, Mike has written over 1,200 songs. He his a member of
BMI.
He cut his first commercial record in 1981 at the Globe Studio in Nashville,
Tennessee. During that session, Mike recorded five songs and later selected two
of them to be released as singles. Mike's approach to recording may not be
typical of most artists. He relates that when he records, the intent is not to
record a 'release', but rather, he records a batch of songs that are important
to him at the time. Later, he decides how they'll be released to fans - whether
it be a single or on an album.
In 1983, he was sent over to Champ Studio, which was owned by Jim Stanton, the
founder of Nashville's legendary Rich-R-Tone Records. Mike continued to record
there until Jim's untimely death in 1989. Mike acknowledges Jim helped him quite
a bit, "Jim taught me how the Nashville clique thought and worked." He was an
astute student if you will for Jim Stanton and used that knowledge to further
his career. Perhaps another unique aspect to this early learning experience is
that Mike has never been on any record label other than his own.
Mike learned well and perhaps learning from the mistakes of artists in prior
generations, took more of a personal control of his efforts. He formed the Pata
del Lobo Music Publishing company in 1982 for his songwriting efforts. Between
1982 and 1987 he released the single, Hooked on Rodeo b/w I Hear Her Words
Ringing as well as two cassette albums, "I Believe in Roy Rogers" and "Did You
Hug Your Mother Today?".
In July of 1987, he founded Roughshod Records to record his country music
efforts. He also formed the You and Me Publishing company to publish his Gospel
and perhaps some not-so-country songs.
In January of 1995, he created the Top-Rail Chatter Country Music magazine and
continued publishing it until December 2002.
His first release, published by MAJJ Productions in 1981 was a 45-rpm record
that included "King of the Fish" b/w "Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin". He then
released Mike Johnson's Guitar Songs Vol. 1, which was a solo, acoustic album.
One of Mike's recording efforts generated a fair amount of attention on the
radio play lists. For example, his tune, "Did You Hug Your Mother Today?" was
the most requested and played song for three weeks before and after Mother's Day
on Big John Baldry's Michigan Jamboree Radio Station, WBYW-FM 89.9 out of Grand
Rapids / Sparta, Michigan in 1994. He had released the tune as a cassette single
in January of that year.
Mike has seen wide-spread news coverage during his career, from the smallest
country music newsletter to the Washington Post.
His music has been included into two music anthologies that emphasized Black
involvement in Country Music. One was by Nashville's award winning journalist,
Pamela E. Foster in "My Country", published in 1998 and in "My Country Too, The
Other Black Music" published in 2000. He will also be featured in the annals of
Yodeling History in Bart Plantenga's upcoming book, "Yodeling in Hi-Fi", the
sequel to his first book, "Yodel-ay-ee-oooo - The Secret History of Yodeling
Around the World". Mr. Plantenga resides in The Netherlands and is a music
historian as well as radio disc jockey. Yodeling in Hi-Fi will feature some of
America's neglected Black cowboys.
World Music Network released Plantenga's compilation of yodel tunes in
September 2006, entitled the "Rough Guide to Yodel" featuring 18 different
yodeling artists including Mike. A three-disc yodel compilation project
featuring past, present and future yodelers is still in the planning and
development stage.
Mike entered the annuals of Yodeling History in Bart Plantenga's "Yodeling in
Hi-Fi", [published December 2012] the sequel to his first book, "Yodel-ay-ee-oooo
- The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World". Mr. Plantenga resides in The
Netherlands and is a music historian as well as radio disc jockey. Yodeling in
Hi-Fi will feature some of America's neglected Black cowboys.
World Music Network is planning to release a compilation of yodel tunes in
August / September 2006, entitled the "Rough Guide to Yodel" and will feature 20
different yodeling artists including Mike.
A three-disc yodel compilation project featuring past, present and future
yodelers is still in the planning and development stage.
