This album feels like a glimpse inside the mind and soul of someone who is part stranger, part friend, and part mirror. Imaginary Johnny combines music with sensitive vocals and thoughtful lyrics to gently illustrate moments and emotions that seem strangely familiar. Every track is sing-along-able, and there is no low spot to the album. "I Forgot My Wallet" is my personal favorite track. The repeated, impassioned declaration of "I don't ever want to need anyone that much again" is a serious emotional punch. Basically, this is genius. I am excitedly awaiting his next effort. I enjoyed this CD the first time I heard it, and it only gets better and better with further listening. It has quickly become one of my all-time favorites, and I absolutely recommend it. Buy this CD; you will not regret it.

Great musicians are getting harder to find, especially the ones that can create the whole package themselves. This CD brings together the sounds of independant rock, studio beats, and Lennonesque vocals, along with innovative & creative lyrics. This album is a modern showcase of classic music. Each track creates new musical atmospheres and demonstrates what true musicianship is. I highly recommend this CD to whoever enjoys fresh new artists and their musical ideas.

This short but sweet album is an absolute MUST for any indie rocker. He breaks new ground in an unexpectedly beautiful way. The band's first and best work. MUST try.

I am pretty careful with my money, seeing as how $ is an hour of work at my mundane job, but I have never been happier with my spending. Imaginary Johnny combines lyrics that pour out true emotion with beats that keep your head nodding. The music is different from anything I have heard before, but there is something familiar about it all. I have no doubts that anyone who likes music, will love this.

I am constantly keeping my ears open for new, fresh, good music, and this is a gem. It is music that means something, brings out emotion, and the lyrics convey true feeling to the listener. This CD arrived at my house almost two weeks ago, and it has yet to come out of my player. I hear something new every time I listen to a song, and I love it. I hope that Imaginary Johnny is in actuality a real being, because I want more.
