Eric Johnson
was two years away from releasing
Ah Via Musicom
, the album that would finally expand his following beyond a rabid cult of guitar fanatics, when he appeared on the acclaimed
PBS
music series
Austin City Limits
and casually played an hour of music that had viewers across the country asking, "How does he do that?" (It wasn't the first time -- a 1984 spot on the show helped
Johnson
land his first major-label deal.)
Live from Austin, TX
gives
Johnson
's December 14, 1988, gig on the show an authorized release on CD, and what's most striking about the disc is how the layers of amazing guitar tone and remarkably fluid licks that you figured had to have been created through endless hours of studio trickery on his albums are actually being summoned forth by
Johnson
in real time, with a camera crew and studio audience watching. Zipping back and forth between
jazz
,
blues
,
rock
, progressive, and even
country
styles, nothing seems to be outside
Johnson
's grasp on this performance, and his rhythm section (
Kyle Brock
on bass and
Tommy Taylor
on drums) offers subtle but essential support throughout. While on a few numbers
Johnson
descends into
Steve Morse
-style guitar theatrics that are of limited interest to those who can't actually play, for the most part this is a fine performance from a picker who knows how to use his chops in the service of the music, and anyone who enjoys his work will want to check this out. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
