“It's actually Darryl Johnson who takes most of the lead vocals, however, and manages an eerie similarity to Tina Turner in his vocal delivery. Rocket 88: Tribute to Ike Turner”

— by Richie Unterberger, allmusic

"I Smell Trouble" comes next, one of the few songs I was familiar with coming in, and a personal favorite, as well. Johnson does some of his best vocal work on Rocket 88 with this track, turning in a soulful performance on this classic.

— blues cd reviews

“Moving from the background to the forefront in 2010, Darryl brings a new wave of excitement to Chairmen of the Board.”

— hawkes entertainment

““Darryl’s been on almost every Chairmen (of the board) record for the last 15 years. He and Thomas are artists in their own right, and there’s a spark between the guys that makes things fresh and new,” said Denny Wells, a friend of the Chairmen who’s attended ...band rehearsals at Studio East on Monroe Road.”

— charlotte observer

““What a show! We never sat down,” Jeffrey Zachary wrote after the House of Blues tribute in December. “Darryl and Thomas are great, sounded as if they worked together for years: so tight. What a great tribute. I know General was singing along.””

— charlotte observer

“Darryl's vocals capture the meaning beneath the words and the notes, oftentimes laying it right on your lap and daring you to turn away. ”

— Robert S. Bise, District Diaries

Questions

Ask Darryl Johnson anything...

Q: I think I met you on UNO...sorry you didn't stay in DC,

A: Thanks!! I miss DC terribly, but the music business is here in Nashville and I moved here to pursue a career. I try to get back to DC as often as I can, but it has been a couple years since my last visit. I hope to change that this year.
