I have Joe Bonamassa yesterday seen live and thereby buy the new studio CD. The Flitzefinger cooked in 100 minutes, a never lame expectant show everything from blues and rock had to offer (in combination) the last 40 years. Is it any wonder that he had mainly reassigned a Gibson Les Paul and the full roaring sound sent by a Marsahll Amp. I like that, even if the strings wizard has his one-in-a-million-tone not found and sometimes a bit sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Frank Marino -. He is not 30 years old and I am sure you will be much hear from him, the small hall here was sold out in any case on two evenings, for Blues a novelty. - The CD has of course not the same pressure as a live concert, but it reflects the current penchant for Trio rock à la Cream, Blind Faith or Rory Gallagher again, four original compositions, the rumbling "Tea For One" the Zeppelins, the Rest as always plucked from across the Blue spectrum, and in selecting Bonamassa is always good for a surprise ("Tamp Em Up Solid" by Ry Cooder). That he could not take on tour Jason Bonham (son of Zeppelin drummer John Bonham Led) and Carmine Rojas (including David Bowie) (too expensive), has harmed her nothing; conversely, many big names are no guarantee of top albums - Conclusion: certainly not a bad album, but not a high flyer.
