Our Take
Eric Johnson's latest offering, "The Book of Making," is a whimsical journey through the mind of a guitar virtuoso gone mad. The album opens with the frenetic energy of "Plectrumia," a track that is sure to have even the most stoic listener tapping their feet in time. Johnson's signature guitar work is on full display here, weaving in and out of complex time signatures with ease.
As the album progresses, we are treated to a range of styles and influences, from the bluesy swagger of "Slide Rule" to the ethereal beauty of "The Aeolian Suite." Johnson's playing is as masterful as ever, each note ringing out with a clarity that is unparalleled in the industry. The production on the album is top-notch, with each instrument given its moment to shine without overpowering the mix.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tone City," a funky romp through a world of lush chords and intricate melodies. Johnson's use of dynamics is particularly impressive here, with the song building to a crescendo that is as satisfying as it is unexpected.
Overall, "The Book of Making" is a delightful listen that showcases Eric Johnson's immense talent and creativity. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to leave you wanting more. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey unlike any other.
