Customer Reviews

He just keeps getting better & better...
8/13/89: It's a beautiful hot sunny day with beer, BBQ,& several blues bands (and all for free since I won 2 tickets for me & my wife). Danny Gatton jammin' on stage. Between songs he introduces 12 yr old Smokin' Joe. Danny gives Joe his guitar to play a song with his band while Danny watches. It's been a great day of blues music so far, & it's really cool to see this young boy about to play, but from the 1st note I'm no longer thinking it's cool to see this kid playing, I'm hearing the best music I've heard so far that day (no joke). Close your eyes & forget it's a 12 year old jammin' on stage, this is great music from a great musician. I'm amazed @ what I hear! Afterwards I go talk to him to find out who he was, how old he is, how long he's been playing, etc. For 11+ yrs & 20+ shows I've been a fan. At 12 he could already play SRV songs just like Stevie. His style has been evolving ever since, & he just keeps getting better. This new CD is great, but NOTHING compared to hearing him live!

The "NEW" Blues Guitar God!
I saw Joe and his band "LIVE" before I bought this CD. He had filled in for Gov't Mule when Allen Woody had died just two days before. Unfortunately there were only about 85 people there MAX!(Unfortunate for those who did not attend). When they broke into the first song (Rory Gallagher's Cradle Rock)you would have thought they were playing in front of a sold out stadium!!! They NEVER let up! They continued to [rock] out of every song they played! When I got the CD I wasn't expecting "ANYTHING" like the show I had seen but...........IT WAS BETTER! Produced perfectly and has that "LIVE" feel to every song. Has a few "Guest's" also! Joe Bonamassa is absolutely, positively the BEST Blues/Rock Guitar Player out there right now! "LOOK OUT KENNY WAYNE SHEPERD AND JONNY(WHO)? There is a NEW kid in town and he is about to take over the spot Stevie Ray left void!! You can see him live now in "VERY SMALL" venues but when the word get's out..........LOOK OUT! "BUY THIS CD if you like SRV, Rory Gallagher,"Old" Eric Clapton, Chris Duarte, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King; YOU WILL LOVE THIS CD!!!!"

Incredible CD,..Guitar Players Must Have
Joe B., here on this release shines with a tight, energy-stoked power trio. 'Smokin'' Joe has moved on since Bloodline, and I think has found a groove where his talent and emotion rise to the top. He's a student of masters, and he shows how close he's been listening all these years,..Tone and delivery is over the top on this RD,..Fans of SR V, Hendrix, Satriani, KWS, will eat this CD up cut after cut..With Greg Allman, Rick Derringer, and others sitting in, this is the best guitar rock/blues CD I've opened in a year at least,..it nevers leaves the rotation. Steamy lines of blues, killer rock riffs, and gentle but passionate use of scales&modes,..Joe cuts across the landscape of the guitar heroes, plus has some great vocal chops..Song writing is top-notch, not since the early days of the Allman Bros, and SRV will you get a rush like this one. Tony Cintron (drums) - of SpyroGyro fame, and Cremo Liss on bass,..this rytm' section is as tight as they come. I can't wait for the next one...
