Sorry
, I must'a already forgotten or missed it. I believe Justin is playing a more traditional guitar on 'Tennessee Hill Country Blues.'
I'm listening to that right now...I'm hooked!

We kind of went to bed in an empty parking lot and woke up in the middle of a roots instrument festival," Johnson says. He's played similar events in Chicago, Florida, New Jersey, Alabama and Missouri, and he's soon headed to Paris and—hopefully—Tasmania to do the same. "We've played just about every one we've heard of."
For Johnson, the cigar box guitar is not just a quirky alternative to its ubiquitous six-stringed cousin; it's also the reason he and Jaeger sold most of their belongings to become nomadic. Their RV, the "Gypsyvan," is a traveling museum of the instrument. Johnson still owns a few traditional guitars, but they have no place in his live show now.
"I've been playing as long as I can remember, one instrument or another," Johnson says. Stringed instruments, in particular, always spoke to him, so he focused on guitar. But it was a Christmas show in 2011 at The Mill in Gibsonville, N.C., that properly introduced him to cigar box guitars; the place had a few of the instruments for sale, so owner Jim Smith asked Johnson to play one during his set. "It had a different soul and a different vibe than any instrument that I've played. I played it most of the night."

I have met Justin and spoken with him various times, but he is much more of a friend to my neighbor Ken than to me. I am more of an acquaintance. He is extraordinarily cordial and pleasant. His wife is equally so. I have spent time in their "Gypsyvan."
BTW, all his tunes you have posted are wonderful choices...especially this last one, it being so smooth and relaxing.

I'm glad you have enjoyed them, I certainly have very much.... this one I could feel a bit of his inner self, if not soul.. While never having met him I suspect he is somewhat inward in showing his true self but rather spiritual within his innate self.. A nature person at heart I think and his wife a little on the vibrant side which brings out his best quality ... his love of expression...

Based on my limited knowledge of them, I would think your perception of the Johnsons are likely close to correct, L-J.

It broke Nora's heart when I refused to go away with her.
Or, I should say, the Sgt. Major refused my going away with her.
Although Ms. Jones recovered quite nicely, the Sgt. Major is exhibiting regret.
