High chart entrances in America are no longer the big Aufreger for Bonamassa and his colleagues, as squints one of these days more and more to Europe in order to gain a foothold here too, especially in Germany, however, a solid fan base has been developed. Insiders are likely to have been completed with such works as "Blues Deluxe" or "The Ballad Of John Henry" comparison test, while my personal introduction just happens to "Dust Bowl" is'
Blues is not just blues. Especially because of the prevailing here range of "Dust Bowl" is this the little biased listeners soon apparent and leaves him again and again head back, nodding. Because with what simple remedies as brilliant effects can be achieved, is sometimes top notch. So z. B. the cool opener "Slow Train", the totally relaxed approach snorts of course, to invite you on a journey to the "Dust Bowl". And exactly this title track is then such a captivating catchy who pursues a days: be bleak tone, refined by harmonica sequences and Klampfensoli in the immediate G-spot area (or something similar); Gentlemen, something which I call really smooth to the square! With the fluffy feel-good rocker "Tennessee Plates" (featuring John Hiatt) is the slightly subdued mood neutralized before the convoy with the folkloric spruce Epik Masher "Black Lung Heartache" again amazes Bauklötze size XXXL. Inevitably have here such Kaperzunder like Gary Moore (RIP) or Led Zeppelin are called to get only a vague idea of what is on songwriting level magic here.
Dramaturgical Vibes come further in "The Last Matador Of Bayonne", "No Love On The Street" and "Heartbreaker" before, which unsurprisingly, that Bonamassa's close friend Glenn Hughes approached the honor einzusingen the latter. That's Passion in its purest form. With "The Meaning Of The Blues," "You Better Watching Yourself" and "Sweet Rowena" (feat. Vince Gill), there are also followers on shekel, which is not big falls given the clear dominance of the mentioned highlights significant. The silver disc is completed by the fantastic, truly heart rending "Prisoner".
Basically remains to be said: Joe Bonamassa has the hang loose out to create a few ideas from songs with diversity and long-term action ... whether now blues, country, folk or Rockabilly is completely schnurz. And boring it is likely the young gentleman of modern blues anyway not be, because it is precisely when I heard the first sounds of "Dust Bowl" was already read by the completion of the second Black Country Communion album. So then, gentlemen Sherinian, Bonham, Bonamassa & Hughes' sets here equal to the ante!
Additional Info: as an additional incentive to buy you have to mention the beautifully designed and equally bold Digibook, a similar great thing as the last Steve Lukather disc "All's Well That Ends Well" (also on Mascot Records published).
