    Eighty-Two Feet of Water
    "Love the bass guitar and it will reveal it's secrets to you." George Washington Carver said that, or something like it. Joel T Johnson played bass for years in pit orchestras, progressive rock bands, jazz bands, philharmonic orchestras and for blues and country artists. He traveled the Country and parts of the world collecting sights and thinking up stories along the way. He loved the bass guitar and it indeed told him it's secrets. But the paradigm of popular music has always relied on the bass as the draft horse to carry the heavy load: the pulse and substance of the musical groove. How to break from this limiting box, he often wondered. While playing for others, Joel worked hard to develop his own singing voice, a deep, powerful instrument that defies comparison with any other recorded singer. Wide in both dynamic range, pitch and style it is a story-telling siren worthy conveying his stories and emotions, subtle and profound. The Album: Johnson knew he would have to develop some pretty ground-breaking playing techniques to bring the bass front and center in a meaningful and enduring way. He also knew that meant temporarily banishing the guitar from most of his musical landscape to allow peoples' ears to fully enjoy the non-traditional voice of the bass guitar as he played it. Only three tracks on the entire album feature any guitar at all! This pot is boiling with many ingredients, eclectic and traditional alike. The resulting soup and goes down like comfort food on a rainy day. Through his effects there is a collection of groove driven, song-centered pieces that contain both power and nuance. The masterful arrangements include blues harmonica, string sections, killer drums, eclectic percussion, fiddle, banjo, nylon string and steel string acoustic guitar, electric slide guitar, native American flute and even a 'Wilhelm scream'. The songs: It's not enough to have a bass guitar pounding out blues, rock and ballads like you've never heard. Great songs are where the rubber meets the road. Joel T Johnson's notes, words and performance weave together riveting stories across a backdrop of Americana that will bring cinematic pictures to your imagination more vivid than any music video. • "Eighty-two Feet of Water" begins with the sounds of a shipwreck. It is post World War I, a man survives to watch all his shipmates drown and spends the rest of his life running from the haunting sea. This no-nonsense no-guitar riff rocker, with larger-than-life drums and kick-ass bass, doesn't relent any more than the sailor's nightmares and the music even kicks up a notch when he finds a solution to his torment. • "Rain Don't Follow the Plow." An innovative claw hammer/thumb bass technique sounds at once like old back-porch blues and a fresh sound, as if you were in 1930 hearing the blues for the first time. Johnson plays a ripping solo while grinding out droning monk-like Tuvan tone singing. The song tells the tale of a nineteenth century farmer watching helplessly as his farm turns to dust, he regrets believing the government's crackpot theory about the climate. By the song's end it has imperceptibly morphed into a rocker. • "Sugar on the Snow." We know right away that this song turns a corner musically when we here nylon string guitar and strings paint a picture of an icy winter landscape. A man walks across the ice after a fight with his wife. Both the tale and the music unfold with page-turning excitement. With nearly 'Sergeant Pepper's' level production, the instrumentation reaches it's climax as the story does. By the end of the song it's hard to believe your journey along with this music album has taken you so far in just three songs. And you've just begun. • "Clay Jones is Dead" Somewhere in backwoods America a young girls marriage enrages a jealous old beau, but it's okay: "justice been done, need to wake the sheriff." The upright bass, drum and Hammond organ somehow strike a harmony between a hip jazz riff and an old timey ballad as this tale of revenge unfolds to it's surprise conclusion. • "Blood from a Stone" sounds like a rippin' blues classic you'd somehow forgotten about. Screaming blues harp and intense SVR/Hendrix-like chords hit from the starting gate. Then you remember reading in the liners notes that this song contains no guitar! • "Actually, That Is a Banana In My Pocket (but I'm always glad to see you)" is a break-neck, jaw-dropping instrumental that tells it's own story through an evolution of styles and bass guitar techniques that will have you hunting for the Youtube video so you can figure out how the heck he's doing that. • "The Barn" uses a World music vibe of exotic instrumentation and percussion like frame drums and Native Amercian flutes as well as traditional and distorted bass guitar to help tell a tale of the mortality of a old barn and other things. • "What'd You Say to My Old Lady?" '...that made that poor girl cry?' Another tune that has a brand new and innovative approach to blues sounding like it's been done that way for fifty years and the master tapes were simply buried under a dusty stack of National Geographics. The buzz saw bass solo-yes Virginia, that's a bass-has the tubes in Joel T Johnson's amp glowing red hot! And how many blues tunes feature a dynamic and lyrical drum solo? • "Loser's Treason" Is a sad yet hopeful tale of picking up the pieces after betrayal and the infinite capacity of real friendship. Spotless and spot-on production and a simple but beautiful bass line frame a simple idea that friendship is more powerful than the careless actions that attempt to tear it apart. • "Rice Crispies and Gin" Turn off the lights to listen to this thoroughly creepy tune... or maybe don't! This semi-a cappella droner successfully stalks the line between country and avant garde. Perhaps the reason this is one of Joel T Johnson's most requested tunes is the edge-of-your-seat story and matching surprise musical ending. Once again, Johnson brings innovation to town by accomplishing all this using only bass guitar, upright bass and his own voice. • "The Cider Miller's Daughter" If you're still wonderfully creeped-out from "Rice Crispies and Gin" this sweet tune gently puts all your stuffing back where it was. Fiddle, banjo and spoons keep the porch swing swaying gently and, one more time, in a way that sounds it could have been a country song many years ago It's that classic: boy meets girl, boy attempts to use his record collection to get a few intimate slow dances out of girl, girl really just wants to dance fast and stomp, story that has you longing for your youth and a simpler time when it was okay to be a little foolish. The Recording: A three-year-old PC laptop, less than five hundred dollars total in microphones, and a semi-finished pool house, would anyone be bragging about such limited recording tools if the results weren't extraordinary? Extensive use of room mics and natural reverb makes the ground breaking album open sounding not muted and lifeless like so many home-brew projects. Influences: The Blue Nile, Thomas Dolby, Junior Wells, Johnny Cash, Igor Stravinsky, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Primus, Rush, Yes, Genesis, John Lee Hooker, Jeff Buckley, Danny Gatton, Joe Jackson, Tony Levin, Pat Methany, Howlin' Wolf, Mew, Joe Bonamassa.
