Johnny Reid's new album Fire It Up was released earlier this year, and marks a big change for Johnny Reid. While his music is still deeply rooted in the themes and instrumentation that made his past albums such great country albums, this new album is closer to John Mellencamp or 1980's Bruce Springsteen than it is to Waylon Jennings. But it's clear that Fire It Up has also taken the country world by storm; Johnny and his band were nominated for a whopping ten CCMA Awards this year, and went home with two.
In this session, Johnny and his band perform four tunes, and they're joined by special guest Alan Frew (of Glass Tiger fame) for the title track.
