Buster Records has reissued Johnny’s classic album I Like The Street on CD with updated cover art. With musical guests Beyondo, Bret Alexander (Badlees), Mike Garson (David Bowie), and Felipe Torres (Monkees). I Like The Street is the “bicycle diaries” of a working musician with tributes to film noir, actor Clive Owen, and “the dark sacred night.”

This song hearkens back to when I had a “day job” as a bike messenger, cycling around the urban hills of San Francisco. That presented opportunities to study speed, strangers, and sweat.

This video features the talents of Jason Shuman and Felipe Torres as well as cameo appearances by Sean Connery, Ron Davis, Green Day, Chris Haggerty, The Ramones, Victor Valverde, and an assortment of bicyclists, dancers, homeless people, models, and skateboarders. Some of the photographs and videos are mine or were shot by Robin Mackey. The drawing of the crotchety, skinny man was drawn by Joe Sloan.
