The best live albums put you right there on the front row. And as the raucous Friday-night crowd welcomes Eric Johanson to the stage at the Ground Zero Club in Biloxi, Mississippi, for a set that mines his Billboard-topping studio catalogue, you’ll feel this generational performer in your bones. “I want Live In Mississippi to make people feel like they're at our show,” says the Louisiana-born bandleader of the live album bottled last August in the home of the blues and released in March 2025 on Ruf Records. “Whether they've just seen the band and want to take a piece of that home with them, or they’ve never seen us perform at all, I want it to bring across the energy and emotion of the live show.”
