NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Singer-songwriter Paige King Johnson is thrilled to release her newest project, The Barn Sessions Acoustic EP, available today. This special collection features her latest singles reimagined in their original, acoustic form, highlighting the simplicity and power of the lyrics. Produced by Gage Haveri & Ethan Makenzie, The Barn Sessions includes acoustic versions of “If I Could Make a Living,” “Somebody’s Gotta Do It,” “I Thank God,” and her current single, “Grandpa’s Little Girl,” with a special acoustic video premiere with The Country Note.
“Over the last couple of months, the feedback from folks has been overwhelming,” shares Johnson. “Everyone has enjoyed these singles and I really wanted to give the true experience, the way they were the day they were written and arranged. That’s the heart behind these acoustic recordings.”
Paige King Johnson recently honored her late grandfather with her heartfelt single, “Grandpa’s Little Girl.” Through nostalgic lyrics, Johnson takes listeners on a journey through her childhood, highlighting the profound influence her “Papa” had on her life. Co-written with Mike Astrachan, the song debuted on CCM Magazine, accompanied by an in-studio acoustic performance. Continuing to honor her grandfather’s legacy, Johnson also performed “Somebody’s Gotta Do It” on the Grand Ole Opry stage as a special guest of Opry member Pam Tillis.
“This song holds a lot of special childhood & teenage memories of mine in it,” shares Johnson. “My first truck was a 1997 F-150 - a hand-me-down truck from my Papa who passed away when I was ten years old. That truck meant a lot to me - it held a lot of memories of him & I in it when I was little. I was so grateful for it & am still grateful to have it in our family. Every time I look out on the farm & see it sitting there, I can’t help but smile & think of my Papa. I hope whoever listens to this song can find a little comfort in those sweet memories and maybe recall some of their own.”
