Johnny Can’t ReadDon Henley
Don Henley, renowned as the Eagles’ co-lead vocalist and songwriter alongside Glenn Frey—and also famous as a drummer—has released many timeless classics that will go down in music history.
While many might cite “The Boys of Summer” as the quintessential showcase of Henley’s wistful vocals from his solo career that began in the 1980s, his 1982 solo debut single “Johnny Can’t Read” offers a different kind of appeal.
Also known in Japan by the title “Johnny no Seishun,” this track is such a sparkling, keyboard-forward killer tune that you can’t help but wonder what Eagles fans thought when they first heard it.
Perhaps influenced by the rise of new wave at the time, Henley sounds great delivering a pop performance in this vein.
Highly recommended for power-pop fans and those who enjoy early Elvis Costello.
