“There's a lot of Cajun music, swamp pop, and New Orleans flair down there,” says songwriter and recording artist Pug Johnson of his southeastern Texas hometown. “There's Mexican music, Texas swing, and honky tonk, too. It's a real vibe.” Known as a Country singer first and foremost, Johnson listened to the world around him when writing his latest album, El Cabron, reshaping his influences into something brand new and finding room for Tejano, barroom boogie-woogie, and southern soul, too.
