When Johnstone heard his friend Marlon’s work with Marlon Hoffman Band (Le Happy & La Paix), he recognized that Hoffman’s “Outlaw” voice and performance style was perfect for these songs. They recorded at Hoffman’s Kenrose Studio where Johnstone recorded his album DEEPER THAN MY ROOTS in 2022. HOLY MATTERS is co-produced by Marlon Hoffman (Marlon Hoffman Band, The Clones STL, St. Louis Mopes) with Davey Johnstone (Elton John Band, Magna Carta, Alice Cooper, Stevie Nicks) and Bernard Fowler (Rolling Stones, The Charlie Watts Quintet, Tackhead). Musicians on the song "Suicide Ride" include: Davey Johnstone on Electric, Acoustic, Bass and Slide Guitars; Jesse Johnstone on Drums; Adam Chester on Piano; Charlie Johnstone, Mixing.
“I’m running to the nearest record store to get this one. Marlon’s vocals are so honest and this bit of Americana rock ‘n’ roll southern style is really pulled across the finish line with Davey Johnstone’s production and mandolin as well as the single-note guitar lines that hearken back to the days of great music gone by.” — Denny Seiwell (Original member of Wings)
Musicians on the album include Marlon Hoffman, Davey Johnstone, Bernard Fowler (Rolling Stones), Phil Parlapiano (John Prine, Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, Tracy Chapman), Stephen Ferrone (Average White Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), John O’Kennedy, Major Wynn, Jon Poli (Naked Eyes) and Jody Daley-Lovett.
