Ever heard of Joe Bonamassa?
One night I was lurking on Youtube in search of some Jethro Tull videos.
Yes, Jethro Tull, the old band for old men.
And I came across a comment saying something like:
You should really check Bonamassa's version of A new day yesterday.
Bonamassa? Never heard of him...
Though Joe's not among this crappy 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list, I discovered a real Blues/Rock impressive artist. Well, maybe 20% Blues vs 80% Rock, but anyhow the man knows how to make his Gibson sing.
And believe me or not, Joe's world tour has *one* date in France.
20km away from home:
11/16/08 RAMONVILLE, FRANCE
Rumor has it I'll be there.
That's correct, I already have the ticket
Until then, I'm listening to Joe's first album, the well named A New Day Yesterday, along with the eponymous live.
Ian, if you happen to read me, you should be proud of Joe's version of A New Day Yesterday.
UG, longing for 11/16.
update:
I am Joe Bonamassa and I come from Los Angeles.
I was there, and really enjoyed Joe's performance.
I always thought I was a 100% Rock man, but after that, I found myself looking at the Blues side
Joe's right hand is not from this earth.
Bus his left hand comes from an unknown galaxy.
Anyhow.
I.
Met.
The.
Alien.
