Johnny A.'s "Get Inside" in stores February 24 Johnny A. continues to stake his claim as one of the premier guitar players in popular music today as evidenced by Gibson's new Johnny A. guitar and his new Favored Nations CD Get Inside set for release February 24. The CD follows the highly successful Sometime Tuesday Morning which topped a number of major AAA radio charts nationwide. Get Inside has a dozen instrumentals that span a gulf of styles that must be heard to be truly appreciated with the first single "I Had To Laugh" already moving up the charts on AAA and Rock radio stations nationwide. Johnny's guitar prowess has been recognized by Gibson Guitars Custom Shop who recently unveiled a Johnny A. Signature model that is a rare major re-design project for the company. The Custom Shop continues their tradition of supporting a select few premier players with its Signature Series, which features guitars that are designed specifically for (and in conjunction with) the artists who are playing them.
