Description:

Personnel: Eric Johnson (vocals, guitar, lap steel guitar, electric sitar, piano); Steven Hennig (guitar); Wee Willie (harmonica); Steve Barber (synthesizer); Roscoe Beck, Kyle Brock, Reggie Witty (bass); Tommy Taylor (drums); Paul Bissell, James Fenner (percussion); Jody Lazo (background vocals). Recorded between March 1988 and June 1989. After being overlooked on his debut, Tones, guitarist Eric Johnson burst onto the airwaves with the surprising hit "Cliffs of Dover." Armed with excellent chops and a clear tone, Johnson took a tired formula and made it sound fresh again. Despite his talents on the fret board, he plays with great restraint and chose to explore a variety of styles, including rock, pop, blues, country, and jazz. While his singing is not quite as interesting as his guitar playing, it is not obtrusive and is at times quite pleasing. This recording has reached near-classic proportions within the guitar community. ~ Robert Taylor
