Next Time You See Me
Johnson does not play on other tracks.
A fifteen tracks CD containing songs recorded through four Decades. Problem is that nothing tells us which songs were recorded when and where, a real pity and almost unforgivable. At least it was recorded before April 2005 when Johnny passed away.
