Album: Neon Repairman
Year: 2014
Back in 1993, on the heels of Can You Fly, Freedy Johnston did a pretty good cover of Glen Campbell’s version of Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman,” which might have even been a small radio hit.
He’s been performing it ever since, which is probably what inspired him to write a follow-up, the title track to 2014’s Neon Repairman, an album that Freedy crowd-funded through Pledgemusic.com.
Because that’s where we are with getting new music from great cult singer-songwriters these days.
