Notes
On The Deep and the Dirty, Eric Johanson is a roots-rock innovator and modern-day guitar hero who uses blues as a springboard for an edgier, broader sound. The Louisiana native teams up with Producer Jesse Dayton (Rob Zombie, Supersuckers) and a taut power trio, firing twin barrels of sharp songwriting and fiery fretwork along the way. The album arrives on the heels of four solo records that all reached the Top 10 on the Billboard blues chart. Johanson fills The Deep and the Dirty with revelatory anthems about embracing the modern moment and the raw, honest sounds of a band performing together live. Offering everything from roadhouse roots-rock to dark, bluesy Americana, it’s a diverse album glued together by a musician who’s never been afraid of the grey area between traditional genres.
