New Zealand entertainment promoter and renowned performer Gary Bartlet recently described
Kimball Brisco Johnson as" an outstanding song writer linked to Bob Dylan in his approach to lyrics and vocal delivery" |
The Big man who has recorded 12 albums, was abondoned by his mother as a small child
and grew up having to defend himself, while often not having a roof over his
head. Now successful, he can appreciate the bad times and has become a philantropist having given away dozen of cars to those without transport and paid bills for people who were being foreclosed on. Perhaps its why he's known as a "real rough diamond with the kindest heart." A new album to be released soon will feature songs reflective of his real life experiences. There's an honesty in his stage performances because he sings about good times and bad. He's singing about his life. Most of us can relate to what he's been through and will appreciate the way he tells it..
