Who is Eric Johnson?
No, I mean it. Who is this guy? His music is casual, beach combing Malibu rock. Lyrics and melodies hung on excuses for him to solo. He’s got the talent...much of this feels like a more skilled Christopher Cross.
There are a lot of fantastic guitar players out there and Johnson seems to be up in that pantheon. It takes a while to really get there, though, but “Zap” is great. There’s is nothing else like it on the album, though. It’s a thing unto itself and feels like it should be the launching point, not the exception.
