Will Johnson has announced his 10th solo album, Diamond City, due for release on April 4, 2025 via Keeled Scales. His opening track and lead single, Floodway Fall, is out today.
He writes: “The idea for ‘Floodway Fall’ cropped up before a summer 2022 rehearsal with Scott Danbom. We were still setting up, getting sounds and levels. I remember him looking out the window, loosely playing along on his fiddle, likely unaware that I was recording it. I quickly forgot about it, then stumbled across it a few months later and decided to see the song through. For the most part, it’s a small town document of tension, travel, and ultimately undying love.”
