The Deep and the Dirty is Eric Johanson's fourth studio album, [7] and seventh overall album, released on July 28, 2023, on Ruf Records. [8] The twelve songs on the album were recorded in two days, supported by bassist Eric Vogel and Grammy-winning drummer Terence Higgins. [9]
Johanson's manager suggested Jesse Dayton to produce the album. Dayton had him play each track live about five times to figure out what worked and what didn't work. By the time the musicians recorded the tracks live in the studio, Johanson had the live experience of working with Dayton to draw upon, allowing him to dial in on the sound he wanted. [5]
All tracks are written by Eric Johanson and Jesse Dayton unless otherwise noted [3]
