Rock
Eric Johnson became a guitar hero in the â90s with a sound that could be lyrical or lacerating, depending on the mood, and a style that brought a pan-genre cornucopia of influences to a rock setting. Born in Austin, TX, in 1954, Johnson grew up loving jazz, country, rock ânâ roll, and more. He worked with acid rockers Mariani while still in his teens and released an album with the jazz-rock band Electromagnets in 1975. He then cut an album in the late â70s that went unreleased for decades, so his official debut was 1986âs high-sheen, vocal-heavy Tones. The 1990 follow-up, Ah Via Musicom, was his Grammy-winning breakthrough, led by a trio of big rock-radio instrumental hits including âCliffs of Doverâ that showed off his fleet-fingered fret work. Over the years, his approach became increasingly eclectic, highlighting disparate influences like Wes Montgomery, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jerry Reed. In 1996 Johnson took part in the high-profile G3 dream-team tour featuring fellow guitar heroes Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and over the years heâs guested with the likes of Chet Atkins, John McLaughlin, and Mike Stern, but heâs never stopped bringing his all to his solo statements.
