Presto-digitation Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I'm one listen in. Liking the horns. So far better than Driving, but I'd say LESS than Dust Bowl or Black Rock. But that may change some with time too. Just a single listen... Also have the new (!!!) Gary Clark Jr. live CD in hand and spinning that now before getting back to Joe. I highly recommend it, oh fans of the blues. Great raw (!) playing. Ultimate in unpolished. Awesome voice too. Please check that out: http://www.amazon.co...s=gary clark jr Edited September 25, 2014 by Presto-digitation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well, I downloaded GCJ Live from iTunes this afternoon, and WOW! I have his iTunes Sessions (which is really good) and Black and Blu (which is ok. I'm not too fond of the non-blues stuff.) But this album is killer so far. He's got such great tone, loves his fuzz pedals, and is really tasteful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JB rekkid is really, really good. It's very different from Dust Bowl and Driving Towards the Daylight, but in a good way. The gospel number at the end better get played in concert.! :madra: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Listened to the JB album twice today. Solid grower. Love the horns throughout. Dig the gospel-like closing tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I was like, "Ah shit, if Digi likes it, I know I gotta get it!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I own the Royal Albert Hall set. I love watching his rendition of Just Got Paid today. Fantastic musician. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The River is one of my favorite cuts of his. Just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Throwback to his cover of one of Led Zeppelin's most underrated pieces. And boy, does he give it new life. I love this man's tone. Very spacey, reminds me of a Seventh Son-era Adrian Smith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 As a huge fan of Buddy Guy, I'm really appreciating his style on Different Shades Of Blue. The only thing I'm finding that could make this album better is if Buddy appeared on a song with Joe. Current favorite is Love Ain't A Love Song, but it'll probably change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the version on the Rockpalast DVD where he does a beautiful slide piece for the intro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thought I'd share this here: So for anybody who doesn't know, I'm currently studying abroad in England. Sure enough, the amount of Rush fans here is far less than it is in America, but I went out for dinner tonight at a local pizza joint wearing my Bonamassa T-shirt (a John Henry one) and the guy at the counter asked me about it. I told him I'm a huge fan of Bonamassa and he got really excited. Says he saw him on the Dust Bowl tour at Hammersmith Apollo and that he's got quite the following here. I don't know how credible this guy's opinion is, but I am very surprised to hear that a contemporary blues rock artist is that popular, let alone outside his own country. I never hear anybody (apart from my dad and people on TRF) talk about him back at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Current favorite: Can't find a link to the Live From Nowhere version, which is much cooler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've loved this song since early 2010! These were my favorite live videos of it. I've not been able to find a video from the Nowhere In Particular era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 New live record is out, this time it's Joe playing with Muddy Wolf, a Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf tribute band at Red Rocks. Gonna give this a listen later today, looks like an AWESOME setlist of the oldies plus some of Joe's material at the end. Live performance of Oh Beautiful! :haz: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
