Album Notes

"The acoustic guitar is part of Jacob Johnson’s body. Sounds are coaxed out of it as effortlessly as he might flash a grin at a cute waitress. After cutting his teeth on the electric blues circuit throughout his teen years, Jacob has changed course slightly; choosing to focus on the acoustic guitar, and songwriting. In live performances, his off-the-cuff sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek sensibility disarm the audience and leave them completely unprepared for the multilayered guitar masterworks he unleashes. Jacob thumps, taps, and slaps his acoustic guitar into submission, weaving a musical tapestry that usually climbs to sonic frenzy whilst never losing its balance or control. His lyrics, thoughtful and realistic, are delivered with the wry sort of charisma that makes you wonder if he isn’t just making it all up as he goes. And sometimes he is." -Gray Lee
