Johanson broke through with his number 1 Billboard Blues album The Deep and the Dirty, and last year released his sixth album that reached the Top 10, Live In Mississippi, capturing the energy of his live shows that drew packed houses everywhere in the US and Europe. Johanson, named by Guitar Player Magazine as one of the "25 best new blues guitarists" and by Total Guitar as one of the "greatest blues guitarists of all time," brings modern blues rock with grit, power, and raw energy. As Zoals American Songwriter describes it: he "shows his guitar virtuosity, but within the boundaries of melodies and lyrics that push the limits of blues/rock... blazing guitar playing and compelling songwriting."
