ERIC JOHNSON

VENUS ISLE

Eric has always managed to put his own unique stamp on the pentatonic by using slides and unusual groupings of notes. This album is full of stunning playing, though the most obvious example is When The Sun Meets The Sky, which features a number of beautifully melodic linear solos. Elsewhere, be sure to check out the outro of All About You. And for a deep dive into just how far Eric can take this approach, also have a listen to Camel’s Night Out.
