How I Wrote… “Cliffs of Dover”
“SOME SONGS TAKE forever to write. You labor over them for so long, and you start to wonder if there’s a point to continuing,” Eric Johnson explains. “Then there are those other songs that just come to you like magic. When that happens, it’s like you’ve just been sent a sort of gift from the universe.”
The Texas virtuoso puts “Cliffs of Dover” in the latter category. As guitar instrumentals go, it’s hard, to multi-Platinum status and a Grammy win for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
