[@Zebula1918]

thanks Justin. for a moment in the middle of the mountains time stood still, a moment of grace ... even the neighbors were silent. what delicacy and what strength

[@troyboy6169]

Sorrow, loss, pain, hope and renewal. This tune brings out all those emotions. Play on Justin.

[@seandev6222]

Sounds like the guitar is singing some real deep shit. ...Awesome

[@jeanklein2198]

Totally agree

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

What a powerful remembrance. The soulful melody, the rainy backdrop, the single lit candle ... it tells a universal story. A very honorable tribute.

[@BigSpice15]

Who is the tribute for?

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

@@BigSpice15 I am not sure. That is something that Justin would need to answer, but I was hesitant to ask.

[@BigSpice15]

Kevin Merino yeah I wouldn’t wanna ask him, it’s something personal I’m sure and none of my business

[@w13rdguy]

What Kevin said. Couldn't say it better. 👍

[@dev...5150]

@@KevinMerinoCreations Could be personal... yes I agree... but for me it reminds me of the one and only Johnny Cash... the black theme and all...

[@synystero]

Justin Johnson, you are sincerely one of the few true blues musicians of our current time, you channel the spirit of this music flawlessly and in so so many variations and moods. thank you for sharing your magic with us. 🙏🍻🌾

[@dal65]

A fella can’t get anything done!! I just turn Justin up and escape from this world 🌎 I’m in a trance 😳😳

[@midi510]

This definitely belongs in the soundtrack of a movie. Like after the main character has lost everything and is maybe walking down a lonely dirt road as evening falls and the skies are dark with clouds and he/she is pondering the value of what he/she has been through and the challenge of getting back in the game. Something like that, anyway.

[@seahawks1185]

Red Dead Redemption cut scene.

[@V0LTIX]

Now you.. You should write movies with an imagination like that.

[@djladymojeau6661]

That's deep dude I'm up to my neck in homework and unanswered emails.... but I need Justin right now. My best friend just lost his brother and I can't help him. I've got some serious blues right now.

[@49558201]

back in the game ? washed up DD .. ?

[@kwaddamage8286]

or a walking through the desert montage. maybe some time lapse footage of the clouds casting huge shadows over the new mexico dunes and cacti. camera cuts to a rattlesnake shaking his rattle. then back to the guys crusty sunburnt face. then to some black and white footage of one of those churches that plays with snakes

[@mlight6845]

There is a season for all things, including a lament on a stormy overcast afternoon. Thank you.

[@francescozani9488]

Your fingers master those strings just like a spider looms his silk thread.

[@49558201]

cool,, man

[@Ali-Nomad]

JJ it's real music, thank you.

[@wolfil8019]

This is a storm of darkness in which I am glad to be lost. The anguish you pull from the strings of that lovely instrument reflect the tragic beauty and wonder of life.

[@paulmuller1733]

Even Swamp thing would hum along to this.

[@marthaproctor4585]

I been feeling somethin ain't right for a while now. THIS HITS MY ❤

[@yarema8900]

Thats so deep, I just feel that tone inside my body

[@debbieadkins316]

Sometimes no words are needed...the music says it all. Absolutely mesmerizing!

[@gigigalasso1862]

Exactly

[@thomashaley1036]

I like how the setting reflects the music.

[@somewherefarfaraway9018]

Kinda like soundscape type music it paints an environmental picture in my head to dream and fall into

[@silverstory3911]

Yes

[@Liesl_Cigarboxguitar]

@@somewherefarfaraway9018 poetic 🌻

[@OdinsRealm]

"Remembering a good friend today" sounds like some grief and yet memories worth to hold on to. I miss my dog.

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

This resonates so strong and keeps teasing at memories at the edge of recognition. I keep hearing phases that seem so familiar they want to call up lyrics and talk to me but I cannot find what it reminds me of. At the edge of consciousness, so familiar, and yet just out of reach. So like my best friend I lost. He is always with me, I can feel him, and yet no longer here.

[@justanothertrucker7856]

I have been waiting for another song. Not disappointed.

[@brendabadassrapsutherland5691]

[@kortgreen7725]

Justin NEVER disappoints! Who could think otherwise! You! The skeptic with the bad hair! Get off this bus right now!🤗😎🎸

[@theoehrhardt8117]

Well yea would agree

[@solryder7131]

Kort is all salty... Op was saying, they was waiting to hear more. Obviously

[@matangiandtheparrot4614]

Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory...

[@mnumumnumu2646]

Yes, music that calls forth the spirits that speak with us in the rain. It's a fine thing. Heart felt thanks, M.M.

[@luluwinke6581]

Yes, in the rain the sounds of silence....

[@eddieblz]

Best Chanel I’ve subscribed to.

[@aleksabroad]

Red Dead Redemption Vibes and I love it!!!

[@sbw1794]

Beautiful and haunting, brings back some old memories, good and bad. Love the rain in the background and the setting. You have done it again Justin. Thank you for the chill vibes sir. 🤘🥃🍻

[@hightreestess]

I return to this one often. The sounds of rain in the background add to the chillness! 🌧🎸🎙🎶🪔🧘🏼‍♀️

[@patriottothecore6215]

Found myself singing a soulful version of Stairway to Heaven to this beautiful playing. It’s not about how many notes you play - it’s about which ones.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I had several of your lessons saved, and they really help and I go back to them. But today on FB, in a group of mostly retired dog trainers, a friend posted this. You were thoroughly applauded. Well done!

[@michealgraham6836]

That sounds like some of the storms I’ve been through in my life. Outstanding

[@galenstevenson918]

Appropriate for the storm rolling over our dark and troubled land.

[@olgreybear7997]

Dark, lamenting blues. Love every note. I almost hear ‘Wish I was in heaven sitting down’ in the first bar of the main riff. Excellent as always.

[@thewisceeeggg1624]

My condolences on your loss. You’ve sent them off in amazing style. Bravo.

[@sapelesteve]

I can hear the crying & sadness emanating from that guitar JJ. So sorry for your loss.

[@kiela17]

That's the kind of blues that'll bring you to your knees 💙

[@drmckinley]

Being able to play your guitar on a porch on a rainy day. So relaxing. Smooth.

[@meditativeturtle]

I keep coming back and listening to this song every once in a while. I can't and will never forget it. It is just beautiful. Bravo.

[@49558201]

you got it . that magic touch , dont lose it.....

[@monstersdad67]

Man you can sure preach the Blues with those Hands. Another great tune.

[@brianwalker1933]

Listening to Johnson’s incredible talent never fails to give me goosebumps. An absolute joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing your videos. 😊👍👍

[@jellybean4400]

Real music feeds your soul not your ego ❤️ this feeds my soul 🌧

[@elebeu]

The rain storm began in response to Justin's playing.

[@FullFrontalExposure]

Yeah, I am pretty sure of that, and will move to second that motion. Anyone else?

[@christinebehm8157]

Musta been a special friend. Extra emotion in this tune

[@alanbobbymcguire5099]

Scottish Stonemasons theme tune 😉. Rain running down your back and out your arse. 42 years a Scottish stonemason. Speaking from experience. 🙂

[@Warlanda]

once again, your soul shines through the darkness on this one. thanks, Justin; peace be unto you

[@ginibliss246]

Are you kidding me?! How is every single one perfection?!

[@koolgrapp4509]

Damn! I can actually "see" the scene unfolding behind this hauntingly beautiful, moody song. One can actually FEEL the music...

[@manuelch.4381]

My favorite at this time 👍🫶🎧🫶👍🔥🧨💥

[@uriviner283]

I didn't know you until about a month ago, since then I haven't stopped hearing you. All my life I wanted to play but it just didn't work out, and now I bought my first guitar and it's only because of you. I'm 41 years old so I've missed a whole life without a guitar but it's never too late and thank you for that. It's just a pleasure to hear you play, you are an amazing musician man!

[@SteveHungMusic]

Love the porch, candles on the desk, and rainfall in the background.

[@tptunstall]

I listen to Justin's music every time I find it, I love it!

[@hawaiian8213]

Love how you just thought "I'm gonna play right now " that's why it's awesome

[@captainraven8004]

Hypnotic. Tales of a haunted past and a mysterious future. All in one sound. An emotional roller coaster

[@dakoja76667]

He tells a story and says no words.

[@nicocooper9217]

By far my most loved guitar player of all time. His whole style and vibe is a spiritual experience, even covering other songs he makes them a whole different experience. Amazing. I dont play an instrument nor am i musically inclined on any level, but i think im going to buy his 3 string shovel and videos and try my hardest to make some sounds that hopefully doesnt make people's ears bleed lol.

[@C.Sharpe]

Best of luck to you! I'd do the same but I don't have as much of an interest in making music as I used to. Everyone's creativity manifests in different ways, and mine just isn't music. But good luck anyway!

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

Never a disappointment! Satisfying to the soul, as always.

[@minknmunt]

I've been around live music all my life. My dad played bluegrass and my summers growing up were a series of live bluegrass festivals and Grateful Dead shows. I've met musicians from around the country and the world and not one of them ever made it look so easy. This is as natural for you as breathing. I don't know what you ultimately want to do with yourself but you've got a talent that will take you anywhere you want to go.

[@robertkinslow8953]

I picture a covered back porch, good friends and a slow rain on the back fourty kind of weekend. Settin the old mind at ease for a minute.

[@jamespatrick9446]

Turned 60 today this just suits me fine

[@justinjohnsonlive]

happy birthday 🤘

[@jamespatrick9446]

Thanks, Young Legend!

[@storchartmarco5408]

I keep coming back to hear this beauty of a performance. This is magic.

[@j.d.7208]

It's as if you can hear a story being told without any lyrics JJ you are absolutely awesome man

[@michaelsteveharristonquisp6466]

The Dark Blues series is epic

[@tiboalea7673]

Morceau de circonstance. Si la tempête qui traverse nos vies était un film, cette musique serait la bande originale parfaite

[@valerieolsen1980]

When men mean more than motion. Thank you again,

[@jordanturner7917]

This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I left behind.

[@1SunScope]

The rainy background, perfect ambiance.

[@guenterbortz5957]

Sounds in parts like a dark version of "Hurt" in my ears..... a very special tune to me

[@Skaldscircle4323]

Incredible talent and music. Thank you for keeping old school delta blues alive

[@peterlogan2105]

I am an old "warhorse," lucky enough to be here. Driving my truck at night west bound on the 80 while listening to your darker pieces ... Well, it speaks with me.

[@robertglover2317]

I'm amazed at your ability to tell a story without saying a word... I wish I could play like this

[@JasonLumbatis]

Those strings are definitely crying

[@PixieMoons]

Perfect for a Sunday morning coffee 🙌🏼

[@andreslujan659]

a melody that gives meaning to a hard life

[@robinbyrd410]

Sometimes it just is and becomes one of your parts and as a single tear escapes in a thoughtful moment ,reminder to look forward with clear eyes and hope in the wisdom that came from the pain that you now see past …

[@charleswainscott6071]

My GOD man, I was ready to just end it all, then I hear I'm not the only lost soul!!!

[@jonpogue427]

Awesome rainy day on porch playing the blues!!!!!

[@marjorieandrzejewski7996]

I'm happy to be with you today and your playing surely did its justice.

[@Ragin__Cajun]

Perfect song to come out with today’s weather. Thunder rolling faintly in the back

[@magistersteveperkins]

There are no words for music like this, so I'll just leave it that way and comment on the exquisite beauty of that guitar. If this video were just a silent, slow pan around that gorgeous instrument, it would still be worth watching.

[@msbuffy45]

Enjoyed for Sunday AM with coffee. Then start in work!!

[@LetArtsLive]

Sounds like something out of a Clint Eastwood movie. It is dark and sad like the world

[@michaelbrigante]

This was my first impression.

[@scottolsen8464]

I just wish I listened to this gentlemans music a bit earlier in my life, truly an amazing artist.

[@JRotten]

I wish that Justin would play at my funeral one day in Venice LA. And this tune as my ashes are poured into the muddy waters.

[@pmmeyers5557]

This guy has been an inspiration for me

[@seewead1019]

I listen to this stuff every time I light a cigar and pour some whiskey, its perfect. Thanks!

[@R1C4RD0R3D15]

I'm a simple man. I see the Duolian, I click like.

[@Kjell777Iverson]

Perfect vibe with the sound of the rain and the grey skies. Brilliant as always, my dude.

[@MrMojoRiiisin]

I think about this video randomly ever so often. Powerful stuff.

[@MP-wb5yd]

Watching/LIstening to your videos makes me want to practice Guitar more

[@bobjennykizziar9616]

Justin rocks my soul.

[@johnpaul2285]

Thank you again Justin Seems grey everywhere these days Ain’t nothing like that good ole guitar to listen too

[@austina9605]

Excellent Justin using the natural sound of the rain as filler to fit the mood of this song.

[@gunnargaming8584]

This song reminds me of driving from Iowa to Texas, withdrawing from heroin, running from the heroin...get to Surfside, Texas and drove down the beach a few miles and parked my truck, set up a tent and spent the next 10 days getting clean living on the beach and got my son's mother to let me back in to his life after not seeing him for over a year.

[@bairiotjf]

Thank you Justin. We listend you in BELGIUM (Europa)

[@ohms497]

Right on! Awesome! From south western Virginia Appalachia. 2:45 eastern time. 🤘

[@miketaylor8510]

That’s some swampy ness right there incredible as usual JJ my guitar 🎸 playing brother 🥃🥃🥃🔥🎸🍒

[@rickoliver2059]

Certainly nailed this JJ , haunting but absolutely beautiful deep down Delta Blues . Your melodic vibrations stay on my mind for a very long time after taking all this in , accolades to you friend .

[@timcarter7616]

It's so rare to hear acoustic guitar played with this level of talent and soul. I would be surprised if Justin Johnson didn't visit the Cross Roads one dark night. Best slide player I've ever heard.

[@CaptainScarlet1961]

The sound of the rain outside is so fitting, wicked as always👌👌👌

[@J.SargeScratches]

Smoothness with Ease!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@STEVE_C_1369]

If youve ever been in the bayou,and knew your place,giving respect to that which calls black water 'home',then you DO feel the spirit of the swamp in his music.
