Eric Johnson is notorious for his perfectionism. In the six years between albums, it could be assumed that an artist would undergo a number of different phases, exploring several different musical genres and textures. Johnson didn’t spend his six years exploring — he spent them refining. Venus Isle reveals no new insights about the guitarist, it only offers a new spin on the territory Ah! Via Musicom covered. In one respect, this isn’t a bad thing. Johnson is a consummate guitarist, pulling out tones and licks from his instrument that no other musician can quite match. It is a joy to hear him play. There are the occasional jazzy grooves, a handful of blues, several fusion numbers, and a few stabs at prog rock — all of the things that distinguished the album’s predecessor.
