Title: Precise, Charged Up, and Awesome Sounding,
Review: "Bloom" is a diverse, fantastic collection of sounds and melodies that will surely please any Eric Johnson fan and those who are new to his music. The album begins with the rockier stuff and progresses to more subtle songs towards the second half of the CD. Johnson is a master of every lick, phrase, and riff. Not a single note or beat is wasted. Yet, his music still retains a "live" feel. This type of musical precision makes for an eminently satisfying sonic experience. Johnson has been playing and recording for a while, but he is still getting better with time. Overall, "Bloom" is inspiring and sounds marvelous.(Simeon Hein is the author of OPENING MINDS and PLANETARY INTELLIGENCE and composer of the CDs EARTH DREAMING and OPENING SKIES.)
