Pug Johnson’s sophomore studio album El Cabron arrives like a sunbaked breeze straight out of Southeast Texas, weaving zydeco, Texas swing, honky‑tonk and R\&B into a sound that feels both timeless and freshly minted for vinyl enthusiasts in Bryan/College Station and Aggieland. Co produced by Pug himself alongside Ryan Johnson and Paul “Sweet P” Walker, Pug’s journey from his debut to this second studio effort reflects his dedication to authentic storytelling through music. His touring history sharing stages with Midland, Drake White, Eli Young Band, Steve Earle, The Reeves Brothers and Marshall Tucker Band underscores the respect he commands among country and Americana peers.
