 Rock on!
Submitted on: 2009-01-27 |

| Fans of Guitar Hero, or parents of kids who are addicted to the game, will immediately recognize Johnson's Grammy Award winning 'Cliffs of Dover' the most famous track on this album. But all of the tracks are wonderful, from the hard-rocking tracks with blazing riffs, to the Texas blues inspired ones. Johnson sings on a few of the tracks, and while his guitar chops are far more soulful and emotive, his vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Overall, the best thing about this album is that Johnson's music is the happiest, and brightest hard rock that you'll ever hear. Free from much of the angry, libidinous, 'lets incite a riot' sound that permeates much hard rock, Johnson's mind blowingly virtuosic music is so exciting, beautiful and joyous you will jump up and cheer. |

"The things of this world we never really own"

| I got this when it first came out and was not disappointed. Eric begins with the surrealistic "Ah Via Musicom," which leads into the jaunty fast shuffle "Cliffs of Dover." This song and the acoustic blues number "Song for George" had been in his songset for years before this album was released. "Desert Rose" is a rockin' love song. "High Landrons" is probably the heaviest song. "Steve's Boogie" was played in the background of one newscast once, a fast and furious rockabilly tune. "Trademark" is a jazz/blues instrumental, which probably paved the way for "SRV" on Venus Isle (though in different tempos, similar melodies). "Nothing Can Keep Me From You" is another love song, sounding bright and positive. "Righteous" is a raunchy sounding blues number. "40 Mile Town" is probably the most introspective song on this set, lyrically and musically- "The things of this world we never really own." Clsoing the album is the melancholy "East Wes." Unlike Tones, there are shorter songs and more instrumentals. |

Already a classic

| As I read the reviews on here, I am amazed at some of them. They call EJ boring, redundant, and some other names I cant believe. Personally I feel EJ is one major MF of a guitar player. I love all of Ah Via Musicom. Especially Cliffs Of Dover, and East Wes. He has some major influences also. Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Reed, just to name some. Lack of talent, not musical, boring, Ok, I guess every one has their opinions.... |

| My first venture into buying Eric Johnson all down to "Cliffs of Dover". Great guitarist, but th vocals lack. This WILL NOT put me off buying more of Eric's music. |
