What happened to Freedy Johnston? Many people lost track of him after his hit "Bad Reputation", and his last Elektra album eight years ago. Bar/None Records is proud to release his first album of originals since 2001. Hailed as one of America's finest songwriters by Rolling Stone, Spin and many others, Freedy doesn't disappoint on his new collection Rain On The City. Recorded in Nashville with producer Richard McLaurin, Freedy delivers one of the most masterful collections of his career, featuring a diverse array of radio friendly rockers, heart breaking twang, even hints of blue-eyed soul and bossa nova. While fans of Freedy in this decade made due with an album of cover songs, live releases and early vintage recordings (The Way I Were), he was taking his time working to get a batch of songs that were undeniable. Some of us knew he never left, but others will be glad to have him back.
