Average Rating:
 Rating: - Superb guitar musicThere is an excellent balance between the guitar, voice, and other band instruments. The clarity and quality of the music on this album, is just stunning. I am now desperate to see live. I enjoy in particular listening to guitar artists; Hendrix, Satriani, Vai, Santana, SRV, Hillage, Blackmore, Gallagher, Blug, Howe, Lofgren, N. Young, Petty, Beck, Clapton......I think you see where I am going, and Eric Johnson's guitar work is up there with them all. As to any one track that stands out I suspect each to his own, but I'm sure there is something for all air guitarists, within the album, and at the price Amazon are selling it for, it is truly good value for money, a must for your guitar collection. Play few tracks at a reasonable ...

Rating: - shocking ... 1996My second Johnson CD I bought was Venus Isle. Released 6 years after Ah Via Musicom I didn't really know what to expect, 6 years is a long way to go and enough time for lots of changes in style ... Looking at the songs, you'll find there Manhattan and Camel's Night Out, Johnson played these two on the G3 tour with JS and SV. And for me, they are classics. This is an excellent album. The first two songs are beautiful (Venus Isle, Battle We Have Won) and the following ones are of the same high quality. On the cover you can read that EJ is called Baron Von Tone, well, listening to how he can play and how it sounds, you cannot disagree. Don't expect any races, you will find nice melodic songs with very technical solos, you will ...

Rating: - A gem waiting to be discoveredVenus Isle stands proud in my music collection. The the mood and quality of the arrangements are just perfect. I've had this album for many years now and I always go back to it with the same enthusiasm as when I first played it. The work is timeless with soaring guitar solos that lift your soul. Just perfect notes and tones all the way. This gem of an album remains undiscovered by many. My only regret is that Chis Johnson has never been able to recapture this magic formula, but maybe thats what makes it so special. |
