Rejected Unknown

We're talking about some serious feelings here-- the kind of feelings that demand a song be written. And that's the kind of necessity that informs many of Johnston's songs. They have a feeling of a life-or-death-ness that makes the work of lesser songwriters seem trivial.

As with most of Johnston's albums, there are a few songs that just fall flat or come off as a little too coy, but overall, it's a quality addition to the catalog of one of songwriting's true originals.
