This month, it won the Grammy for best country song.Welcome to PreviewHouston’s insider guide to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo To his credit, Johnson was already at the top of his game before a No. 1 single. He first played RodeoHouston in 2017 as a last-minute replacement for Old Dominion. Last year, he opened the season's 90th anniversary and big return after two years of COVID-19 cancellations. His original song"Welcome to the Show" was named the RodeoHouston theme song in 2019.
Johnson was born in Sebastapol, an unincorporated community on the eastern shore of the Trinity River, and grew up in Huntsville. He's a former rodeo rider and worked as a prison guard before turning to country music. It's no surprise that his sound is steeped in tradition. He has a raspy, muscular voice that breathes life into much of his material and at times recalls George Jones.
