Not many would expect the 54-year-old to have many musical inspirations, and he openly spoke about his own music journey with Rolling Stone. The actor recently released a song titled "Your Dad" for the Moana: Voices Across the Ocean album that accompanied the recently released live-action film.
“At a very early age, my deep influences were Sam Cooke, Elvis, George Jones, Merle Haggard, even Johnny Paycheck. Guys like that who just were on top of their genres, and also Willie Nelson, who, as a matter of fact, gave me my first guitar,” he told Rolling Stone.
The guitar he's referring to is infamously used by Nelson throughout his career and is a modified Martin N-20 nylon-string classical acoustic guitar. The instrument was the result of Nelson's Baldwin guitar having been damaged in 1969 after a drunk man stepped on it. He tested multiple guitars from different brands until landing on a Martin guitar, but kept the electrical components of the Baldwin. Nelson would pioneer the unique guitar and name it Trigger after Roy Rogers' horse.
It's clear that Johnson has a deep love for country music and has "such reverence and respect" for music from Nashville. He's also open to the idea of a duets album and would be honored to sing with artists invested in their music and country roots.
