 Soul Provider / The Sign:

When he isn't rocking out with his pop-soul fusion group Soul Provider, guitarist Danny Johnson is making his own kind of guitar music. Perhaps the most amazing thing about his most recent solo CD "The Sign" is that Johnson writes, arranges and performs everything here. In his credits Johnson cites guitarists like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, yet on "The Sign" he also achieves a new proficient sound. Performing electric and synth guitars, acoustic and electronic drums, keyboards, bass and horn sequencing, Johnson creates a veritable fusion sound on his own. After checking out "The Sign", you may want to investigate the self-titled 2000 release from Johnson's group Soul Provider. Still layered with Johnson's ace guitar work, songs and arrangements, the self-titled "Soul Provider" CD also benefits from the smooth vocals of "Fast" Eddie Davis along with a number of other fine players and guest artists. Smooth jazz-rock with shadings of Gospel and the blues that at times evokes groups like The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan, Soul Provider hits an original rock groove.

The Sign:

 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.
