BTW, has anyone else checked out the supergroup he's in with Glenn Hughes, Derek Sherinian and Jason Bonham; Black Country Communion? Great stuff there, folks.

You really need to see him in person to fully appreciate him.
Check your local PBS station. They have been playing his Royal Albert Hall show. Sadly, I found out too late for here, but I know it's still playing in parts of the country. Maybe you'll have better luck.

I definitely plan on seeing him live when I can. Especially if it's with BCC. :wink:

Here is a video of Joe playing a riff from Woke Up Dreaming using the guitar cam. Amazing! Someone tell Neal to do this. I love it!

Caveman!
Walmart are releasing a Special Edition of Joe Bonamassa's "Dust Bowl" CD. There is a bonus CD called "Ten Years Of Joe", only with this Walmart offered CD, which features one track from each of the last 10 albums (and I had them remastered too!), so it's a very cool thing to have. They only have 3,000 so go git 'em.
Dust Bowl (Walmart Exclusive) (2CD)

Here's the link, it looks incredible.

Thanks RnR! I'm surprised to find that Walmart carries any of Joe's cd's. I've never been able to find them at any of my local Walmarts. I'm thinking the Bonus CD includes the same songs currently available for download for members of JBXP. So if fans can't snag a copy from Walmart, they can always sign up for JBXP and get it that way.

Week 1 & Dust Bowl is already #4 on the English charts.

You have to order online. I ordered "John Henry" & "Dust Bowl". "John Henry" will be delivered to my local Wal-mart for pick-up. The special "Dust Bowl" with the bonus cd will not be available until next month, but you can order it online and it wil be shipped to your home for free.

I simply can't think of enough superlatives to describe the virtuoso performance I witnessed tonight. I've been attending concerts since 1968 and this has to be one of the 3 best shows I ever saw. Don't let the fact that Joe is often described as a blues guitarist stop you from going to see him live. Joe doesn't limit himself to just blues songs. He rocks as hard as anybody. Not only does does play great his singing is amazing as well.

Do yourself a favor folks. If you're lucky enough to have Joe Bonamassa come to your town. Go see him, you won't be dissappointed.

That is so true go see him.I saw him last year & i can say its not my last time. :wink:

AMAZING he is.

This is a interesting video from a TV show featuring a young, pudgy, 16 year old Joe. (Love the hat :lol:

) It's interesting to me to watch him develop from a child prodigy to the well rounded guitar virtuoso & performer he is today.
