Eric Johnson - Alien Love Child - Live And Beyond (2000)
Eric Johnson is an American musician, songwriter, and vocalist from Austin, Texas. Best known for his electric guitar skills, Johnson is also a highly proficient acoustic, lap steel, resonator, and bass guitarist as well as an accomplished pianist and vocalist. Eric Johnson’s stature as one of the premier guitar players in contemporary music is his artistic trump card, backed by a Grammy Award and five nominations, platinum album, Top 10 hits like “Cliffs Of Dover,” praise from critics and the esteem of his peers. But the full hand of his talents marks him as well as a gifted songwriter, dynamic live performer, singer, pianist, song interpreter, and creator of a rich and diverse musical legacy.
Live and Beyond, captured at Austin's famed Antone's blues club, finds quietly persuasive guitar hero Eric Johnson and his two-man band, Alien Love Child, at the peak of their powers. While the blues-based, primarily instrumental material will find favor mainly with guitar worshippers, several cuts are more than mere showcases for Johnson's groove-laden, flavorful yet delicate playing, and the band's tight, fluid jams.
