Eric Johanson – Live In Mississippi CD

Eric Johanson: Live In Mississippi

- Recorded in August 2024 at the Ground Zero Club in Biloxi, Mississippi

- 10 tracks, half of them from the 2023 album "The Deep And The Dirty"

- His last album reached number 1 in the Billboard Blues Charts

The best live albums put you right in the front row of the concert hall, and that's exactly what Johanson achieves with "Live In Mississippi". In front of a boisterous audience, he mainly played tracks from his current No. 1 blues album, mixed with older songs and a fabulous version of "I Walk On Guilded Splinters". Anyone who isn't completely thrilled after the crazy solo of the aptly titled last song, "Don't Hold Back" ... is probably beyond help!

The best live albums put you right there on the front row. And as the raucous Friday-night crowd welcomes Eric Johanson to the stage at the Ground Zero Club in Biloxi, Mississippi, for a set that mines his Billboard-topping studio catalogue, you'll feel this generational performer in your bones. "I want Live In Mississippi to make people feel like they're at our show," says the Louisiana-born bandleader of the live album bottled last August in the home of the blues and released in March 2025 on Ruf Records. "Whether they've just seen the band and want to take a piece of that home with them, or they've never seen us perform at all, I want it to bring across the energy and emotion of the live show."
