Release: Eric Johanson Deep And The Dirty

Eric Johanson Deep And The Dirty Blues Rock Guitarist Eric Johanson Announces New Album ‘The Deep And The Dirty‘ out July 28th and produced by Jesse Dayton. Johanson shares a new video from the single “Don’t Hold Back.”

Blues-rock guitarist Eric Johanson is pleased to announce the upcoming release of his new album, The Deep and the Dirty, available via Ruf Records, on July 28th. Today, Johanson unveiled his latest video, “Don’t Hold Back.”

“Don’t Hold Back” makes its bones with a fuzzed-out guitar hook and a wide-open, Hendrix-inspired sound. Johanson and his rhythm section create a proper power-trio vibe and push the spaces between the notes just as hard as the notes, themselves. His vocals are moody and intriguing while his guitar playing reminds us that Johanson is part of the top of today’s crop. The white-background music video for “Don’t Hold Back” harkens back to early MTV and keeps your attention on the musicians and the song. “Don’t Hold Back” is blues/rock done right and all you aficionados out there will feel it in a single listen.
