The Sign

Danny Johnson
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

The Sign features California guitarist Danny Johnson doing a one-man fusion show, complete with a variety of guitars (electric, acoustic and synth), bass, keyboards, programmed percussion, etc. Reviewer Robert Silverstein has stated that Johnson, "...creates a veritable fusion sound on his own." Influenced by guitarists such as Steve Morse and Joe Satriani, Johsnon infuses his all-instrumental CD with funk ("Funkaholic"), hard rock ("Cut To The Chase"), amped-up pop covers ("The Beat Goes On"), fusion ("The Sign"), metal ("Your Sultan") and the Pink Floydian ("Quiet Coma"). The Sign should appeal to those looking for a variety of styles and songs that display a wide range. Sliverstein adds, "Well worth the time for guitar fusion fans seeking a bold new sound."
