| 5 / 5 | Bonamassa Classic Rock
Mr. M. D. Keen "MingtheMerciful" (UK) - 31 July 2008 The latest CD from the fast rising star that is Joe Bonamassa. I've been following his progress for several years now and have to say how totally heartwarming it is to genuine talent and sheer hard work rewarded in an age of vacuous talent(less) shows & the fast buck. Joe seems to have tapped into an audience that really wants to hear classic rock & blues with a distinct UK flavour; think bands like Free, Cream, The Jeff Beck Group & with the odd tongue-in-cheek musical quotes from progressive bands like Jethro Tull, Yes & even the Beatles! Joe's guitar playing is endlessly inventive, displaying ferocious chops on both acoustic & electric; with a very refreshing lack of Stevie Ray Vaughan influences. As wonderful as SRV undoubtedly was, there was only one SRV & too many modern wannabee guitarists now try to emulate that style- enough already! Unlike many of his contemporaries, Joe has the vocal skills & power to match his guitar playing with artists like BB King & Paul Rogers showing their influences. The CD features much of Joe's set from his marathon 2007 tours, and if you can get to see him live- then you really must. Exemplary sound & production skills from veteran producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin/Black Crowes) at the helm- one of the best live recordings I've yet heard with the full dynamic range captured from Joe's crack band. Standout tracks include Woke Up Dreaming for it's explosive acoustic playing & dynamics. 'Django' displays Jeff Beck style lyricisms, and the sheer boogie marathon that is ZZ Top's 'Just got Paid'. As John Mayer says in his also excellent live CD "We just launched into a slow blues & 7000 people in L.A. just went nuts - there is hope after all..." With artists like Joe Bonamassa at last achieving the recognition they deserve- there is hope after all for classic REAL rock music in an increasingly banal scene. Amen!... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Another 5 star review
Big Jim "Big Jim" (London, UK) - 31 August 2008 Can't really add much more than has been said before but just wanted to keep up the average of 5 stars because this album deserves it. No more, no less and sorry if this doesn't add to the discussion much but I'm not going to bore you with a track by track run down, or educate you about Mr Bonamassa with stuff you can read on other websites. Suffice to say this is blues rock of the highest quality and deserves to be a huge hit. Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | Contemporary Blues Rock!
B. Humphreys "BH88" - 18 August 2008 This LIVE album from Joe Bonamassa is a welcome addition to any blues/rock collection. Powerful, gritty vocals compliment the beautifully smooth guitar playing. The album showcases both the Electric and Acoustic talents of Mr Bonamassa, which are equally top class. The comparisons to the blues greats of old are unavoidable - but Joe is a massive talent in his own right. He fuses all of the blues you know and love into a unique package, then sprinkles that Bonamassa magic. The energy captured on this album is electrifying, with stand out tracks being the cover of Free's Walk in My Shadow and Joe's Live take on Sloe Gin. Why Joe is not more widely recognised is beyond me - hopefully this stellar album will help him achieve widespread acknowledgement. He certainly deserves it!... Read Full Review » |
| 5 / 5 | A must have album
E. Oldfield (Merseyside) - 9 July 2008 This is the set list from the 2008 tours, of the UK certainly. Not sure at this stage which gigs the recordings were made at, but with Kevin Shirley producing it (with some input from Joe's dad) this is bound to be a great memory of some great gigs. Maybe I was at one of 'em? Geoff |
| 5 / 5 | Outstanding !
A. J. Sudworth "tonysudworth" (UK) - 1 September 2008 This album is so damm good its been played almost continously since I got it. I saw Bonamassa on the lat UK tour and have tickets for the next one and this album is such a good reminder of the blazing music from the first tour. He is on fire on this album with some of the very best of his stuff (and as ever the cracking bits from Zeppelin and Yes. Standout tracks (from a very very good bunch) are 'Just got Paid' , 'Sloe Gin', and 'Bridge to Better Days' - and just listen for the fluid guitar playing on 'Django' - Dave Gilmour has some serious competition - and admirers.. Its the sheer consistency that comes across here - of course he could select from all the recorded tour dates - but this is a great cllection of live (and this is my ultimate yardstick - can he do his stuff live ? ) ,material where the guitar work is sublime, and how his band hammer out a great sound. If you like Blues or Rock or a mixture then this will work for you. ... Read Full Review » |
