Raised Like That is the debut studio album by Australian country singer-songwriter James Johnston. The album was announced on 17 August 2023, and self-released on 29 September 2023.[11][12] The album is Australia's largest debut country album ever.[13]

Johnston said "The record will make you want to dance, make you want to cry and make you want to turn around and buy a little property in a small town somewhere."[14]

At the 2024 Country Music Awards of Australia, the album was nominated for Album of the Year and Contemporary Country Album of the Year.[15][16] It was the third top selling Australian country album of 2023.[17] At the 2024 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Country Album.[18]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

The National Tribune said "The stunning debut contains moments that revel in joy and nostalgia, yet dares to dwell on the real hardship and adversity that faces so many people living in the country and on the land" calling Johnston's sound as "modern and unique with driving guitars, pounding drums and his gravelly vocal centre stage".[13]
