Eric Johnson
Tones
The Story
"Tones", Eric Johnson's 1986 debut album, highlights virtuoso performances by one of the most agile, engaging and innovative young guitarists in modern music. "Tones" features nine original cuts written or co-written by Johnson, including the blistering instrumentals "Victory", "Zap", "Desert Song" and "Soulful Terrain." A great starting place for those not familiar with Eric Johnson's brand of guitar magic.
