What Is Eric Johnson's Best Album? My Choice Would Be "Ah Via Musicom!"

After getting mostly disregarded on his antecedent album, Tones, guitarist Eric Johnson denticulate with the hit "Cliffs of Dover" on his third abandoned accomplishment "Ah Via Musicom." Eric is a astounding guitarist yet plays with a lot of restraint. His appearance represents a advanced array of styles including rock, pop, blues, country, and jazz. This recording has accomplished near-classic accommodation aural the guitar association and because of this I feel that "Ah Via Musicom" is Eric Johnson's best album. Here's my yield on the tracks: 1. Ah Via Musicom: a actual spacey, about Hendrix like addition with backwards guitar that runs appropriate into the next track. 2. Cliffs of Dover: This is Eric's signature song and apparently greatest hit. Extremely addictive melodies forth with able-bodied played lightning quick lines. Sensational! 3. Desert Rose: One of Eric's articulate tunes on the album. He doesn't accept the greatest articulation but it absolutely doesn't get in the way of the music. His guitar solos on this song accept added of a bluesy ability to go his own signature styling. 4. High Landons: Starts out with some actual air-conditioned flanged out guitar and addition song with him singing. Actual air-conditioned bluesy guitar soloing on this one that reminds me a little bit of that Texas Dejection that Stevie Ray Vaughn fabricated famous. 5. Steve's Boogie: Eric has appear that this song is committed to Austin pedal animate guitarist Steve Hennig. This song is actual evocative of country/western craven pickin' appearance guitar arena and just sounds ridiculously fun to play!Biyang RV-8 6. Trademark: Johnson gets aback to Instrumentals with this song. It's got a bit of a laid aback feel and draws you in with some added abundant melodies and atmosphere. 7. Nothing can accumulate me from you: Aback to singing already again, Eric switches accurately from vocals to arena some absolute nice guitar melodies. Sometimes he makes his guitar complete about violin like, and this is a abundant archetype of it. 8. Song for George: Addition song on the anthology committed to a friend, this time to his guitar associate George Washington. This is a actual nice abandoned acoustic guitar section and is a nice change of clip for the album. 9. Righteous: Now Eric get's aback to added of a bedrock feel with this one. He picks up the bounce a bit and let's out some added of those nice Texas Dejection appearance guitar curve as able-bodied as a bit added riffage than in the antecedent tunes. 10. Forty Mile Town: Eric allotment to singing and this is apparently the abutting to a carol on the album. He uses some actual nice apple-pie guitar tones as able-bodied as some guitar swells for atmosphere. Not abundant soloing in this one. 11. East Wes: Endure song on the anthology and it's kinda hasty that he would aces this for endure back for the a lot of allotment it's on the subdues side. Still a actual nice adapted tune with elements of applesauce and dejection brindled throughout. Eric puts his ego abreast and absolutely plays for the song, which is attenuate for a guitarist of his caliber. His music is fabricated for both admirers of guitar and for the accidental adviser with this anthology getting a prime example. That's why, to me, Eric Johnson's best anthology is "Ah Via Musicom!"
