“EJ” is a very special project for Eric where he shows his feelings with nine original compositions and four covers. The pure sound of the, piano and steel-string and nylon-string acoustic guitars will take you in Eric’s world, where no one can stay indifferent. “EJ” starts with the cheerful cover of “Mrs. Robinson“, a track that will tickle your imagination. “Wonder,” “Fatherly Downs” and “All Things You Are,” are the songs that make a difference, not just because he plays it with the 1980 Martin D-45 a gift from his late father, but for his amazing vocal skills too.Eric shows the soft side of him on the ballads like “Wonder” and “Wrapped In A Cloud “, songs really tender as the clouds and pure like the sky.
Eric Johnson decided to make a change, and we can say for sure that this change is good for him. We saw a new side of him with the same talent. In support of EJ’s release, Johnson will embark on a series of U.S. tours that will bring him to about 60 cities nationwide.
