Compact Disc Reviews  "Only Bream has otherwise recorded the Bennett Impromptus; Johns does so here with no less clear understanding and purpose... a most enjoyable first recording."     John Duarte, Guitar Magazine, England    "He produces a beguiling, singing tone from his guitar and matches it with phrasing of vocal length.  He does make the guitar sing.  It is worth having for the Rodney Bennett Impromptus alone."     Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar, England

"This Vanderbilt University instructor's recording debut impresses with its eclectic program and display of technique."
   Guitar Player Magazine
 
"A member in good standing of the growing group of talented American guitarists teaching at the University, who also perform, record, and arrange."

"Johns seems at the composer's (Richard Rodney Bennett) beck and call... Johns' playing in Leo Brouwer's 1964 Elogio de la Danza is technically virtuosic throughout.  The choice of unconventional repertory, joined with solid musicianship, makes for intriguing listening."
