Johnson & Finnemore Announce Debut Album “Find A Love That Brings You Home”

Country music is about to get a serious shot in the arm. Johnson & Finnemore have just announced their debut album Find A Love That Brings You Home, arriving August 29, 2025 via Gulf Coast Records, and if their latest single “Ride High” is any indication, we’re in for something special.

This isn’t just another country album thrown together in a hurry. The duo has assembled an impressive roster of collaborators that reads like a master class in American music. Julian Littman and Charlie Dore, who’ve worked with legends like Gerry Rafferty, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Tina Turner, and George Harrison, bring their considerable experience to the project. Hannah Johnson adds her vocals to “The Gun,” while the rhythm section features Buzz Bywater on bass and both Joshua Friedman handling drum machine duties and T-Bird behind the kit.

What really catches your attention is how they’ve approached the sound. This isn’t music that fits neatly into one category. Instead, Johnson & Finnemore are weaving together country, soul, Americana, and rock into something that feels both rooted in tradition and completely their own. The instrumentation promises to be lush throughout, with Johnson’s pedal steel, mandolin, and fiddle work creating rich musical landscapes for Finnemore’s vocals to explore.

The album’s title track theme runs deeper than just romantic love. These songs dig into the idea of finding your place in the world, whether that’s through relationships, community, or simply understanding where you belong. It’s the kind of universal storytelling that makes country music so powerful when it’s done right.

Their upcoming single “Babybird,” dropping this Friday, July 11, gives us another taste of what’s coming. Described as a tender waltz that focuses on love gained rather than lost, it shows the duo’s range and their commitment to exploring different emotional territories.

Find A Love That Brings You Home will be available in digital, CD, and vinyl formats through www.officialgcrstore.com. With their blend of heartfelt songwriting and top-tier musicianship, Johnson & Finnemore are positioning themselves to make a real impact with this debut. This is the kind of album that reminds you why country music matters, built on stories that stick with you long after the last note fades.
