Our Take

Robb Johnson's latest album, "Ordinary Giants," is a quirky and delightful journey through the world of folk-infused rock. With his distinctive gravelly voice and witty lyricism, Johnson weaves tales of everyday heroes and everyday struggles that resonate on a deeply personal level. From the anthemic opening track "Stand by Me (Solidarity Forever)" to the haunting ballad "Ghosts of Grenfell," Johnson's songwriting prowess shines throughout the album. His storytelling ability is truly second to none, with each song painting a vivid picture of the world around us. Musically, "Ordinary Giants" is a diverse and eclectic mix of styles, ranging from foot-stomping folk tunes to introspective ballads. Johnson's band provides a solid backbone for his songs, with tight rhythms and soaring melodies that perfectly complement his emotive vocals. Standout tracks include the infectious "Solidarity Forever," the poignant "What Became of the People We Used to Be," and the defiant "Heroes of the Everyday." With its blend of heart-wrenching storytelling and catchy melodies, "Ordinary Giants" is sure to become a staple in the folk-rock canon. In conclusion, Robb Johnson's "Ordinary Giants" is a must-listen for fans of thoughtful, well-crafted music. With its memorable songs and heartfelt lyrics, this album is a testament to Johnson's talent as a songwriter and a performer. Don't miss out on this gem of an album.
