About the artist
John J (Erwin Eugene Johnston) was an American country singer-songwriter active in the 1960s and 1970s and based in Sparta, Michigan. "Lonely Boy In Viet Nam", which he wrote himself - the label credits the composer as E. Johnston, published by Pucker Brush Music - was issued on Rascal Records 104 backed with 'Take Me Back Once More'; the lacquer was cut by Bill Connor at Music City Recorders in Nashville and plated at Nashville Matrix, which is pressing geography rather than the artist's own.
