A recent post at 357 Magnum reminded me of Eric Johnson and his smash hit instrumental from 1990, "Cliffs Of Dover". How many of you remember it, too?
I remember when that track first came out. It feels strange to think that it's now about 36 years old - more than half as long as I've lived. How time slips away . . .
I looked through YouTube to see what other versions of the piece might have been recorded. There were plenty of electric guitar look-alikes, but this bluegrass acoustic guitar version by Aaron Jaxon was spectacular.
Definitely a country flavor to a modern piece - and fantastic finger work.

Both acoustic and electric versions are amazing. I bought the Eric Johnson CD when it came out years ago. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat was simply beautiful...and pretty astonishing .Thanks for posting it
ReplyDeleteThis is the kickoff song for each day’s airshow at EAA AirVenture (aka Oshkosh). A great choice.
