I consider Mike Johnson to be one of the most creative and soulful steel guitarists that I have worked with. Willie Nelson says Mike’s a cross between Jimmy Day and Buddy Emmons, and that's not a bad combination

Mike Johnson is the most lyrical and inventive steel guitar player in the world, in my opinion. He turns that insanely complicated instrument into a versatile pan-harmonium of sounds, textures and beautiful melodies. We’ve used steel in the least likely places and the most unexpected ways. Since we first worked together, I don’t think about “steel guitar” anymore. Instead, I think about Mike Johnson and his Amazing Music Machine!”
