Album Notes

We all follow a path and some follow a path less traveled.

Johnny Burns was born into a
musical dynasty being the
nephew of Chet Atkins and
the son of Jethro Burns
of Homer and Jethro.

“Johnny is a precious natural
resource, a wellspring of
Americana Folk Funk and
diverse musical influences, who
keeps on turning out little epic
movies for the ear. From his
formative years as go-to guitarist
for John Prine, to his days fronting
seminalChicago Roots-rockers
the Famous Potatoes, Burns has
burnished a songbook of gems
like the infectious rave-ups
“Shop Talk” and “Mars needs Women”.”
Jay Bonansinga - National best selling author

Johnny is one of my favorite singer/songwriter/guitarist”
John Prine

“Johnny Burns is a major talent. He is a master guitarist as well as a fine singer songwriter”
Sam Bush

“A fellow of infinite jest.”
William Shakespeare

Johnny’s free wheeling musical style meshed well with the
ambiance of Little Kiss’s
livinng room / recording studio
as well as the Little Kiss
artists and family.

“Johnny Bones” is Johnny’s first project as a solo artist. Yay!
