ColdFireYYZ Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I listened to The Ballad of John Henry yesterday for the first time and enjoyed it. The only other album I've heard him play on is the BCC debut. From what I've heard so far, he seems like an excellent guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually took a little while for Dust Bowl to grow on me, but it really has in the last two weeks or so. There is a lot of astounding guitar playing, and the songs, a mixture of original and covers, are really strong. Now I'm looking forward to seeing BCC in three weeks, and then seeing Joe again, solo, in November. And lets not forget that BCC 2 comes out next month. Its going to be a heavy blues/heavy metal kinda summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just got a copy of Dust Bowl, it's certainly the best since Sloe Gin. Old JB Good, New JB Not as Good. Where do you draw the line between old JB and new JB? If I had to do it, I'd say old JB stopped when he got rid of Eric Czar and Kenny Kramme. That was in 2005. For his next album, You and Me, he began working with Kevin Shirley. His cd/dvd A New Day Yesterday Live and and Rockpalast dvd both feature him playing with Czar and Kramme, and they are exceptional. They are great players in their own right, and it seemed to me that Joe really fed off of that, and they all pushed each other hard. When he started touring with Bogie Bowles on drums and Mark Epstien, and finally Carmine Rojas on bass, along with Rick Mellick on keyboards, the shows changed. The band really is there just to back up Joe. Rojas is an excellent bass player, but he's a pocket player. Bowles left and has been replaced by a heavier rock drummer, Tal Bergman. Honestly, I think Joe's gotten better with each album. I've only been a fan for a little over a year, so that's been a lot to digest and such. It seems his song writing has gotten more polished and sophisticated. His playing and technique are amazing, and his voice is stronger than ever.

Maverick Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Here's one for you, sullysue. This is from BCC's show last night in San Diego. Note the white jeans... That double necked Music Man is so f***ing bad-ass!! The 12 string headstock looks absolutely wicked with the 8 tuning pegs on top, and 4 on the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely check out the albums Tony R mentioned above - Sloe Gin and Dust Bowl. I would also highly recommend Live From Nowhere In Particular, and Live From The Royal Albert Hall. Like so many other great musicians, Joe is at his best in front of an audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about getting Blues Deluxe and Sloe Gin next. I've liked the samples I've heard. Blues Deluxe was the first Bnamassa CD I bought, and I loved it. The title track has some f the best guitar playing I've ever heard, and it was done "live" in the studio - no editing or overdubs, except they added the keyboard after the fact. I think it was either the first or second take. Sloe Gin is great as well. Its a very strong mix of acoustic and electric. The title track is stunning, and the song Dirt in My Pocket is amazing, too. But the first two songs, Ball Peen Hammer, and One of These Days are probably my favorites. You can't go wrong with the albums You and Me and The Ballad of John Henry, either.
