Glasgow singer Les Johnson is the guest on the Mary K. Burke Show on Sunday night, 7 September from 8.00pm.

Les says his music is akin to somewhere between gentleman Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash and Tenessee Ernie Ford with a distinctly Glaswegian twang!

Les has just released “15 Hands” by Les Johnson & Me which is a collection of heartbreaking, funny, rambunctious, wry, poetic and sincere songs dealing with all manner of subjects.
Providing the backbone to these fabulous songs are one of Scotland’s finest roots outfits The Shiverin’ Sheiks alongside a host of other great musicians and singers from all corners of Glasgow’s thriving music scene.
les johnson and meThe record stylistically takes in elements of Sun rockabilly, bluegrass, Scottish traditional, church hymns, Nashville pop, doo-wop, ragtime, American folk and calypso all played with the Sheiks’ customary passion and verve, dancing freely across the Atlantic and beyond yet always serving their king, the song.At the centre of it all is Johnson’s extraordinary baritone. Rich and commanding, yet tender and reassuring.
