Title: Unlistenable Pap from a Great Guitarist
Review: As a guitar player, I have followed Eric Johnson's career since hearing his early solos on a Christopher Craft record in the 80's. Ah Via Musica was a terrific effort, but this new CD was as disappointing as any I've heard from a major guitarist. The tribute to Jerry Reed cut is cool, but the rest of the songs are really second rate pop-rock that are so devoid of passion or invention that it makes me worried for Mr. Johnson - perhaps he needs to tour w Joe Satriani again to gin up some inspiration. Buy any of his previous efforts to hear how fluid and interesting he was when he was in his prime.
Is the review positive or negative?
