Texas Traveler: Eric Johnson blossoms, returns to Grant Street

The Daily Advertiser - www.theadvertiser.com - Lafayette, LA:
"Fans may notice a new Johnson release on music store shelves: Live From Austin Texas: Eric Johnson. The footage for the DVD and the audio for the CD come from a Dec. 14, 1988, recording of the PBS series Austin City Limits.

However, Johnson had little to do with the release. The footage and audio belong to Austin City Limits, he explained. It was the decision of executives with the popular music showcase to release the CD and DVD this summer.

Each release does something Johnson said he cannot reproduce in the studio: The vibe, sound and emotion the music takes on in a live performance."
