It’s tough to see the significance of the thing that’s right in front of your face. Jack Evan
Johnson is a journalist who has chosen to work in song, and American Pink shares as much in
common with Studs Terkel’s "Working" as it does Bruce Springsteen’s "Nebraska." He’s a
storyteller who can still project over the din of the bar. In quiet moments, wistful dreamers
reflect from the wrong side of the shit jobs that anchor shit lives. And that gets loud quick.
Maybe it’s rough-necking out on the oil fields. Or maybe it’s a career behind a badge, which
inevitably means behind a gun. Because these songs have a way of finding their moment the
same way we all find our moment, seemingly by accident, but not. - James Norman
