Despite immense output always top-quality in terms of good blues music!

As recently as ten years was actually still everything as it is usually:
Joe Bonamassa was one good among many blues rock virtuosos and Musicians Musician, ie one who inspired other guitarists in the first place and whose closer acquaintance who was also dragged along for the concert.
But then something happened difficult explicable, at any rate, has the 37-year-old guitar wizard from New Hartford by permanent tours and a really gigantic album emissions (since 2000 are today 17 studio albums and more than 20 live albums and DVDs) played within a relatively short time on a commercial level high, which until now was reserved exclusively really just Eric Clapton.
Here you can really then soon to speak of a changing of the guard, because Clapton has already announced his resignation it is soon: Bonamassa take over!

With his latest work, "Different Shades of Blue", he lays back against a great album, which comes in high-quality pieces, such as the great, the same title song and the heart beat every blues and blues-rock friend later.

My first encounter with Bonamassa was in 2003 when I got him, experienced as support of Peter Frampton, on its US tour. Previously, I had not yet engaged in the musical work of him.
After that I had even then his latest album "So, It's Like That" gained what has me but, from whatever reason, did not particularly like after a first hearing.
It started a long, Bonamassa free time in which I have his future work only on the very edge and relatively uninterested pursued.
What has changed it again only with the wonderful 'Unplugged' album "An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House", which I liked excellent results after the first hearing.
Noticed a particularly positive to me for the first time not only his virtuoso and always praised by many sides playing technique on the guitar, but his very special style of singing me very much of a of my favorite singers, namely Paul Rodgers remembered.
