Description

Principally recorded live in Texas, January 2000. "Rain" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Recorded during a three-date stand at Austin institution Antone's blues club, LIVE AND BEYOND finds Eric Johnson playing with a much warmer tone than the more sterile work that's plagued some of his '90s studio work. Accompanied by bassist Chris Maresh and drummer Bill Marsh, the Texas-born guitar virtuoso flexes his considerable talents on instrumentals that contain ethereal phrasing and high-flying fretwork within a few bars of each other ("Zenland"), chugging blues-rock ("Enzo Shuffle"), and a slightly jazz-inflected workout ("Rain"). Storyville frontman Milford Milligan guests, in the process adding some grit to the proceedings via a sizzling cover of Jimmie Vaughan's "Don't Cha Know" and the slow-burning blues original "Once A Part Of Me". EJ pays further homage to his roots with "The Boogie King," a tribute to John Lee Hooker that goes from a modest shuffle to a sizzling tour-de-force.
