Eric Johnson - Episode 111
Manage episode 333092148 series 2794845
One of the guitarists on my Mount Rushmore of Guitarists stopped by to chat about his TWO new albums. The phenomenal Eric Johnson zoomed in from his home in Austin Texas to discuss 'The Book of Making' and 'Yesterday Meets Today'. These 2 new albums feature 9 tracks each and will be released on July 29. Johnson utilized his Covid quarantine time wisely to go back into the vault and look at all sorts of various projects he had worked on the past to reimagine as part of this release. Plus he worked up some new tunes.
Eric arrived on my radar way back in 1986 with the release of Tones (I'm still freaking on the outro solo of 'Zap') and over the decades he's won a Grammy, toured the world and collaborated with a ton of amazing artists.
It was my treat to talk to him all about the new albums, his quarantine YouTube guitar lessons, recording and touring with Mike Stern, and many others items.
