You & Me
Date undefinedOn "You And Me" Joe moves back into blues territory albeit a mix of electric blues and classic rock that had it's hey day back in the late 60's and early 70's. Comparisons to bands of the era like Cream, Ten Years After, or Robin Trower would be appropriate. In fact Bonamassa does an absolutely scorching cover of Led Zeppelin's "Tea For One" that in many ways rivals the original. "You And Me" is a mix of blues covers and originals. Joe pulls in some heavyweight accompaniment on this one with Jason Bonham on drums and Carmine Rojas (Rod Stewart, Nektar) on bass. This is another stellar album from Bonamassa which should please anyone who is a fan of fiery blues guitar and vocals.

Great Service

Date undefined...there is a lot of folks here who might be dissapointed Joe didn't stay with a more straight on Blues style like Blues Deluxe rather than mixing in more rock influences, but I would disagree. I actually like You and Me way more.I typically just listen to You Upset Me, Blues Deluxe and Long Distance Blues.The way Joe opens the solo of Long Distance Blues with the quote from John Mayall's Beano cd version of Double Crossing Time featuring Eric Clapton slays me every time, but I find myself hitting the "next" button more often than I'd like to admit(51 year old attention deficiency? hmmm...).In any case that does not happen with You and Me.I just press play and go along for the ride(I do skip Torn Down though ).One of my favorite tracks is the first one I heard,the beautiful "Asking Around For You" thanks to the 501 Blues feature on KFOG radio.Joe actually thanks the station in the liner notes.What can I say, I'm a sucker for wailing melodic solos,kind of like Around the Bend from Had to Cry Today.Other faves would be "So Many Roads" with Joe nailing the V to IV transition here with those Hendrix inspired up down bends in the second solo,bringing the laughing and crying at the same time response from me almost every time,and the awesome "Tea for One".Extra credit for having Jason Bonham laying down the stomp like his dad John.I love the leads Joe unleashes here,reminding me a bit of Since I've Been Loving You(Aeolian mode?).Just flat out smokin'."I Don't Believe" is another jam along fave.Anyway,to me Joe B is almost a national treasure and while "Sloe Gin" also gets the "next" treatment, I'm confident I'll be buying every CD this cat releases.Smokin' Joe indeed(apologies to sjk)!
