This episode Karl and Rob Stew on Nick Johnson, a brilliant guitarist who several years ago was inspired by southern music to move to Atlanta and dive into the Atlanta music scene.

We learn how he developed a relationship with Col. Bruce Hampton and began playing regularly with Bruce's various bands. Nick explains how Bruce demanded a certain amount of structure as well as a good bit of improvisational skills and how Bruce landed him an audition with Randall Bramblett.

Nick also reveals how the band Limp Bizkit came up in a conversation with Derek Trucks and offers his own experience at the legendary Hampton 70 concert just over five years ago. Nick elaborates on Skoots Lyndon and his interactions with Jimmy Herring, Steve Morse, and all of the remaining members of Dixie Dregs before and during Skoots' memorial concert in Macon last summer.
