Ran into this, Eric Johnson CD, "Ah Via Musicom ", some years back and would have passed it undue to the kinda lame booklet cover. Fortunately the Record Store ( Thankfully some still exist !) had a player and so l threw on and gave it a listen. Pleasantly surprised by the well conceived music and the sultry lyrics l gladly packed this CD home and promptly gave it a second listen. Kind of like,a melanxgoly, ethereal Rock sound on par with Joe Satriani. Both being members of the New School of Guitarists who can make their instrument sing ( possibly more than any number of vocalists could. GET IT.

Great Cd aimed primary at guitar players, but fans of melody should enjoy. What sets guys like Johnson ans Satch apart from many other high tech players is there pop sense in this case Cliffs of Dover. This is a great example of how something that is technically brilliant can also be musically beautiful (think J.S. Bach). Eric is also obsessed with tone. While he can get down n dirty blues like at times, the production may be a light more polished than the typical Blues Fan is a custom to. Fans of Mr. Johnson should enjoy players like Steve Morse, another player with killer chops and a great sense of melody as well as Joe Satriani.
One of my all time very favorite cds! Had one already for many years! This is a back up I love it so much! Plus I play some of his stuff as a life time guitarist.

To be honest, I've never heard of Eric Johnson till I saw him in an interview with Joe Bonamasa (sp). So I ordered this cd and I'm glad I did. I ordered 2 more after this one. I like him. I like his style. A little "calmer" than Steven Ray Vaughn and Eric Claptton.
