Press Coverage

Press about Redstone by
“An awesome band!! Like bar-b-qued Louisiana gator served up with a glass of vintage wine!! You must experience REDSTONE live!” – Kevin West, PD, 98 Rocks KTAL Shreveport “Five stars for Redstone. Chad Johnson rips, writes, ROCKS!.. Memo to all those strummy, whimpy bands: go back to art school, run for your mommies. Redstone has Arrived.” –Rusty Russell, Nashville Editor, Guitar Player Magazine “Great songs, ass kicking live show, enhanced CD, working over 200 shows a year, Redstone gets my vote!!!” – David Preston, Dir. Artist Relations, BMI “The band specializes in a brand of no-frills rock ‘n’ roll with a strong Southern rock base… Johnson’s voice at times brings to mind U2’s Bono – if he had spent his formative years in Louisiana (Johnson’s home state) instead of the Emerald Ise.” –The Macon Telegraph “Redstone conveys every exhausting emotion it takes to be a travelling band. Though the CD is great, it doesn’t do justice to the live performance.” –Planet Weekly “Equal parts Willie Nelson and Led Zeppelin… they are a phenomenal band. Band leader Chad Johnson is a songwriter who writes from his heart, a guitarist who plays from his toes and a vocalist who sings form somewhere in between.” –Joey Butley, Flipside “They have all the elements in place, and then some – a bluesy jam here, some piercing guitar leads there, a touch of R & B funk here, and Johnson’s plaintive vocals everywhere… Redstone is the real deal.” –Rick DeYampert, Daytona Beach News Journal “The CD is full of soulful rock and blues, with some amazing guitar and vocals.” –Mojo “The band hails from Murfreesboro, TN, but sound nothing like most music from their home. Instead, imagine Tool replacing their bassist with someone schooled in Southern Rock grooves, then sticking behind the mic the equivalent of The Cult’s Ian Astbury after he’s had enough beers to slur his speech.” –Brad Barnes, Ledger-Enquirer “…Chad Johnson lives young, writes old…” –Edge of the Row, Music Row Magazine “When this Murfreesboro band played the Sutler earlier this year its no frills/all-thrills rock drew one of the biggest rowdiest crowds we’ve ever seen there.” –Jim Ridley, The Nashville Scene “A smooth blues rhythm, rock ‘n’ roll guitar, hip bongo beats and heartfelt lyrics give Redstone a distinct sound that says one thing… Soul.” –Nan Tucker, The Daily News Journal
