"Richard Leo Johnson's style is marked by startling speed, complexity and hauntingly unfamiliar harmonies. After over a decade of being on the road, performing concerts and guitar clinics and workshops, Richard was discovered by Blue Note Records, who released Fingertip Ship in 1999 and Language in 2000, gathering extreme critical praise. For The Legend of Vernon McAlister, Richard has traded in his double-neck acoustic for a well-worn, 1930s National Duolian steel-bodied guitar. Richard was inspired by this unique instrument and its sounds to try something different from any of his other albums. This is a CD of deep beauty and innovation, created with just this one old guitar, some simple electronic and tape effects, and Richard's talents."
