Get back my tomorrow (Joe Bonamassa) (LP 698 - 700)

Joe Bonamassa  Driving Towards The Daylight (CD, J&R Adventures, 2012) *** 

Joe Bonamassa  An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (CD, J&R Adventures, 2013) *** 

Joe Bonamassa  Different Shades Of Blue (CD, J&R Adventures, 2014) *** 

Genre: Blues rock 

Places I remember: JB HiFi (Palmerston North)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Love Ain't A Love Song (DSOB)

Gear costume: Heavenly Soul (DTTD); High Water Everywhere (Acoustic)

Active compensatory factors: Although he appears to be a ubiquitous presence in blues rock circles, there is no doubting the guitar chops of Joe Bonamassa.

The acoustic live set is a different look, so it stands out from the other live sets he's released. Daylight and Shades of Blue are studio albums, his 10th and 11th.

Where do they all belong? My favourite album remains the live shakedown of the New Day Yesterday album. That song and Rory's Cradle Rock are the peak performances for me. 

He's very prolific - especially in concert recordings. I'm not fussed with the Beth Hart collaborations but if you want to see him cranking out classic rock with Jimmy Barnes, check this out!

I know where I belong (Joe Bonamassa) (LP 392)

Joe Bonamassa A New Day Yesterday Live (CD, J & R Adventures, 2004) ****

Genre: Blues 

Places I remember: JB HiFi (Palmerston North)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Cradle Rock




Gear costume:  A New Day Yesterday  

Active compensatory factors: If guitar wig outs are your thing (as they are mine) then you already know about Joe. 

He's amazing. Very unassuming, looks like a bank manager. 

Then he plugs in his guitar and transforms into a axe weilding monster!

He's also very prolific. 

This was first live album (now there are about 537 live Joe albums) and if you can stay neutral after the opening Blues Jam/Cradle Rock (yes the Rory Gallagher song), then this album is definitely not for you.

So that would mean you don't like guitar wig outs. Shame.


Where do they all belong? This is the last genre in this round of the CD albums from the vault. back to vinyl next - which, of course means a return to the greatest band of all time.
