Ain't Nothin' to It is a 2019 studio album by American country music singer Cody Johnson. The album is Johnson's inaugural release for Warner Music Nashville, and his seventh overall..

Content

Johnson signed to Warner Music Nashville in June 2018. The album is his first release for the label, after six independent albums.

As with all of his previous albums, the title track was co-written by David Lee. "On My Way to You" is the lead single. Included are two cover songs: "Long Haired Country Boy", originally by Charlie Daniels, and "Husbands and Wives", which has been recorded by Roger Miller, David Frizzell and Shelly West, and Brooks & Dunn. Trent Willmon is the album's producer.[1]

Critical reception

Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated that "Its blend of classic hardwood honky tonk with a modern sensibility feels assured, the songs are designed to withstand the road, and Johnson feels casually confident in his delivery."[2]

Commercial performance

Ain't Nothin' to It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with 23,000 copies sold (35,000 in album-equivalent units).[3] The album has sold 31,500 copies in the United States as of February 2019.[4]
