'Aces & Eights' is the first video off Eric William Johns' new Cd 'Smoke In The Sky.'
Critics have hailed Eric's voice as a mixture of David Coverdale,
Robert Plant, Ian Gillian Sammy Hagar and Zakk Wylde all rolled into
one! A description of the music is Classic Hard Rock of the 70s with a
modern sound.
Eric
himself states "I have always been a fan of bluesy, hard rock bands
like Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, The Cult and Badlands and they were all
huge influences on me as a kid. It is a style of music that doesn't seem
to get heard enough anymore, at least here in the USA. I want to be
able to sing what I feel like singing at the time I want to do it. It's
fun to do metal because it is so vocally hard to do. But sometimes, I
like just the simplicity of singing a song acoustically or along with
piano. Life is way too short to just do one thing. I have always liked
all kinds of music. Where ever I go, I want to immerse myself in the
music that is happening. I never liked when people try to pigeon hole
someone into just repeating the same things over and over. " "
