Joe Bonamassa

I went to a Joe Bonamassa gig a couple of weeks ago, whil'st on the UK leg of his European tour. He is relatively unknown outside of the States. He was promoted as being the guitarist of his generation. We were blown away!! If anyone gets the chance to see him, go. Check him out on his website.

Go on just check it out on itunes. If your into guitar or Blues it'll knock your hat off! Blues Deluxe is the album to go for.

I did and yep he's definitely up there. I started surfing some other blues artisits I like and I noted that Poppa Chubby was coming to a farm in chichester soon, H e is definitely worth going to see!

Alice, sounds like you've scored with Stu! And I thought you batted for the other (ladies with sensible shoes) team!

Radio 2 had an eve with JB a couple of weeks ago.

This one is a little more 'mainstream'.

he is brilliant

He also has a programme on Planet rock.

this is a great link although I suspect it wont appeal to Coldplay Fans, i spent days listening to this but it costs me loads as I keep buying CD's from it.

His live shows are superb. He included a small venue in Falmouth on his UK tours for 3yrs running. We caught them all.

This, and being exposed to Hendrix from age 6, has created a keen 'axeman' of my eldest.

You Upset Me baby From Blues Deluxe is probably the track of his that I'd take to the Desert Island

I have 'The Ballad of John Henry' - reminds me of some early Ry Cooder and maybe some John Mayer too. I haven't tried any other albums yet.....

Rogue Wave · 28 March 2010, 17:13

Well you just bought a bit of class to this thread

It's probably lost on Mollers as he thinks Ry Cooder was the bloke that invented the Seed Drill.

neilda · 28 March 2010, 20:45

I remember buying Bop till You Drop when it first came out. Whilst on vinyl (of course) it was the first digitally recorded album - I loved it. Still do!

Are we liking JJ Cale or is he too obvious?

I do enjoy his stuff (when I've had a few

)
