Early career
During his elementary school years, Johnson lived in Monroeville, Alabama. Pat Buskill, Mac Baker, Allen Nettles, and Troy Dobbins were among his 8th grade classmates who became obsessed with guitar and formed his first garage band, Renegade. He and his family later moved to Geraldine, Alabama, where he attended high school while also playing in various bands in the northeast Alabama area. In Upton's bar, P.J., he performed with Pat Upton's band Headline to huge audiences. Alley in Guntersville, Alabama, for three years.'
Johnson's move to Birmingham, Alabama, in 1987, after an invitation to join Split the Dark, an established band fronted by former members of the power-pop band Hotel. Split the Dark was a huge hit on the Southeast US college circuit, and had won the MTV "Basement Tapes" competition in 1986 but failed to land a new contract. As the guitarist for the Atlanta, Georgia band Witness in 1988, and for the Memphis, Tennessee band Delta Rebels in 1989, he would have his first glimpse of "bands with record deals" as the guitarist. He appeared with the bands Chinatown (with Eric Dover) and Chyld during this period. Johnson attracted the attention of the A&R at Virgin Records, particularly Chyld. After securing a developmental contract in November 1990, the brand eventually persuaded Johnson to take over the lead vocal position and change the band's name to Brother Cane.
