New Orleans guitar virtuoso Eric Johanson cranks up the heat with "Shake The Fever," a blistering 4:11 slice of blues rock that plunges headfirst into heavy, psychedelic territory. As the lead single from his forthcoming album The Open Bayou, the track showcases Johanson’s masterful, fuzz-soaked guitar work backed by the raw, unbridled energy of a power-trio performance. Crafted alongside acclaimed engineer Bill Skibbe—known for his work with Jack White and The Raconteurs—the song perfectly captures the darker, modern edge that has propelled the Billboard Blues Chart-topping artist to international acclaim. Balancing soulful emotion with aggressive, distorted riffs, "Shake The Fever" proves exactly why Johanson is celebrated among the world's elite contemporary blues guitarists, delivering a gritty, thick groove that honors his vintage roots while fearlessly pushing the genre's sonic boundaries.
