Eric Johnson
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, ...

by
Eric Johnson
Tones, Eric Johnson's first solo album, is an exceptionally strong debut, and a record that is just as good as the guitarist's breakthrough 1990 release Ah Via Musicom. Grouped with long-time compatriots Roscoe Beck and Tommy Taylor, Johnson's trademark composing voice and so-sweet electric guitar are already on full display. True to the album's ...

Eric Johnson & Alien Love Child
The name may be a little misleading for fans expecting live versions of Eric Johnson's guitar hits, when in fact Live and Beyond is a collection of new songs recorded live on a three-date set in Austin with his band Alien Love Child. The album shifts from the spacy psychedelia of "Shape I'm In," through the jazz chords of "Rain," and into ...

Eric Johnson
It's no secret that the time gap between albums by guitarist Eric Johnson is on par with such notorious 'hibernators' as Boston. And the arrival of his fourth all-new studio release, Bloom, was no different, as it appeared nearly nine years after the release of 1996's Venus Isle. Whereas most guitar heroes of the late '80s and early '90s were all ...

Unlike its predecessors, Pure Moods and Celtic Moods, Instrumental Moods doesn't follow any specific style. Instead, it strings together a number of instrumentals from different genres, from new age (Enigma), reggae (Afro Celt Sound System) and worldbeat (Cusco) to rock (Eric Johnson, Santana), film scores (Ennio Morricone), pop (Vaness-Mae) and ...

Eric Johnson was two years away from releasing Ah Via Musicom, the album that would finally expand his following beyond a rabid cult of guitar fanatics, when he appeared on the acclaimed PBS music series Austin City Limits and casually played an hour of music that had viewers across the country asking, "How does he do that?"

Eric Johnson
A rare find for fans of this acclaimed guitarist/songwriter, Seven Worlds is the long-lost solo debut from Eric Johnson. Cut in the late '70s, this album is far more than a promising collection of demos; it's a full length, fully-produced album that showcases all of Johnson's awesome talent -- not only as a guitar virtuoso, but as a talented pop ...

by
Fruit Bats
On Mouthfuls, the Fruit Bats tone down the twang of their debut, Echolocation, and offer something closer to a mix of late-'60s/early-'70s folk and bubblegum shot through with unpredictable electronic elements that, paradoxically, make the group's music seem even more homemade and organic. Most of the songs have sunny, winding melodies and ...

Archers of Loaf
Icky Mettle, Archers of Loaf's debut album, became just enough of an underground hit to scare the band away from most of their pop instincts. Filled with unexpected, jarring shards of noise and melodies that never quite manage to be catchy, Vee Vee relies more on attitude and energy than their previous records. It's an approach that works -- for ...

The Speed of Cattle collects B-sides and rarities from this incredible North Carolina band. Some of the material isn't very vital except for serious fans of the band; the first half of the album collects early releases, demos, and singles released with local zines, most of which are fairly rough and not as inventive as the band's major releases. ...

Ah, North Carolina. Can anyone explain why it's been such a hotbed of original-sounding music? Why every year there's a new crop from the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill triangle? Sure, it has lots of colleges, but there's gotta be more to it. Never mind the silly band name and LP title, here's a two-guitar quartet that takes a normal starting point -- ...

Lethargic, moody rock that traces modern Americana through a series of traditional and electronic instrumentation. The debut album from this batty quintet never quite achieves the grand statement it aims for, but the pleasures -- small and amiable -- are soaked in the rustic landscapes and arcane vibe that surround Echolocation.

A bit too heavy to be considered emo and a bit too complex in both structure and affect to be called punk, let alone hardcore, this Muncie, IN-based sextet gets compared most frequently to bands like At the Drive-In and the Juliana Theory (for whom bandleader Jonathon Newby once worked as a tour manager). But listeners over the age of 30 will be ...

In the early years of the 21st century, many young men became disillusioned with the existing conventions of emo and post-hardcore, and burned their band T-shirts in protest.

This single put to bed the idea that Archers of Loaf might have buckled under the pressure of having released a widely acclaimed and fanatically appreciated debut -- "Harnessed in Slums" powers past anything on their near-perfect Icky Mettle LP.

Since it's devoid of any real radio hits -- only "Cliffs of Dover" will be familiar to casual listeners, and that's because it was used in a commercial -- Rock Guitar Greats will be of limited interest to anyone who's not a guitar fanatic. Those fanatics, in turn, will welcome parts of the record and be frustrated with others. There's nothing ...
