First Artist Repeat!

Alien Love Child (Eric Johnson): The first artist repeat! More from the Tone Master. EJ finally recorded a live record, after convincing himself it was possible to have a potentially flawed recording out there for people to hear. Alien Love Child is the name they gave this live trio side project. Good stuff, this. Beautiful textures. Beautiful solo on Last House On The Block. Ok, at track five we get a guest blues singer cut from the "old black blues man" cloth. I love old black blues singers, as you will see, but it never fit for me here. I often skip these tracks, and I'm not a track skipper. Actually, it might be EJ that doesn't work well in this scenario. A simple 12-bar just doesn't let him compose and arrange and texturize, which are his strengths.

Footnote: This album is actually titled Live and Beyond, the group Alien Love Child. I probably edited the tags to have it sort with my other EJ stuff.
