Riley's debut album, featuring 13 original compositions
Running Behind
"Riley’s carefully designed lyrics takes his listeners on a musical journey that pulls many emotion out of each person. He is a consummate poet who uses his words to forge amazing imagery. His music takes everyone on a transcendental trip full of honesty, warmth and fervor. Produced by veteran producer Richard Demko, Running Behind is a musical tour de force. A must listen."
-Amp Magazine
"Connecticut singer-songwriter Riley Johnson keeps his new Running Behind album carefully balanced between singer-songwriter material and Americana roots influences. While his narratives stem from his songwriter eye, his vocal timbre, approach, and all of his instrumentation ring out with authentic notes and chords from rustic acoustic instruments and old time American flavor. This results in a double whammy of witty observation and tasteful nuggets from the heart of the homeland."
"We can only sit back and wonder how far this wonder will go."
" Running Behind feels and sounds authentic in every note."
