It's no secret that the time gap between albums by guitarist Eric Johnson is on par with such notorious 'hibernators' as Boston. And the arrival of his fourth all-new studio release, Bloom, was no different, as it appeared nearly nine years after the release of 1996's Venus Isle. Whereas most guitar heroes of the late '80s and early '90s were all about reeling off a zillion notes per second, Johnson was the exception, as he penned songs that saw his guitar supplying the melody where a voice could have been. This 16-track release (his second for Steve Vai's Favored Nations label) is split into three separate sections -- 'Prelude,' 'Courante,' and 'Allemande' -- which are supposedly "grouped together in terms of vibe and style." Highlights include "Summer Jam" (which does a splendid job of showcasing his guitar tone), the chicken'-pickin' ditty "Tribute to Jerry Reed," and the almost Steely Dan-esque "Magnetized." If you like your sounds raw and gritty and music off-the-cuff, Bloom isn't the place for you. But for die-hard fans, Johnson delivers once more, as all his trademarks are well represented -- chops, tone, and extremely fluid playing. ~ Greg Prato

4 stars Good, but....
not as good as Venus Isle, which is still his best work IMHO. But still a good effort from Eric.

5 stars 20 years since "Tones" and still jammin'!
Eric Johnson is one of the true musical geniuses of the modern age. In the same ranks with his fellow guitar great contemporaries such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Steve Via, Joe Satriani and a few others. Eric's unique smooth blend of musical styles flows elegantly in sweet tonal harmony on this latest offering "Bloom". A few highlights: Track #3: "My Back Pages" This is Eric's rendition of a classically poetic Bob Dylan piece. Track #5: "Columbia" This is a triumphal instrumental piece honoring the astronauts who died in the ill-fated space shuttle Columbia. Track #11: "Tribute to Jerry Reed" Eric and guest soloist Adrian Legg pay tribute to the unrecognized Country Music guitar great Jerry Reed in this "Reed influenced" string bending twangy instrumental piece. Track #12: "Your Sweet Eyes" Shawn Colvin ("Sonny Came Home") sings with Eric in this piece. Her voice blends well with his mellow soothing vocal style. Tracks 13,15, and 16: "Hesitant", "Magnetized", and "Ciel" All 3 great instrumental pieces showcasing Eric's range of influence from jazz to fusion to classical. *Note* Every CD includes a give away game card with a fender guitar pick attached. If you get an engraved silver pick you win a EJ signature Fender Strat!

3 stars Stop singing
The instrumental numbers are great and that’s making him supernatural on the guitar. This guy can even runs rings around JS. But please Eric stop singing your voice is to thin.
