Eric Johnson
Venus Isle
The Story
"Venus Isle" is another of guitarist Eric Johnson's semi-instrumental releases, although this CD is quite a bit more mellow than either of Johnson's two previous records, "Tones" and "Ah Via Musicom". The Austin-based guitarist still manages to include his trademark jazzy grooves, bluesy fret runs, and fusion and progressive influenced song structures. "Venus Isle" highlights include all the instrumentals, particularly "S.R.V." and "Manhattan".
