JOE BONAMASSA "black rock" cd, 2010
Corey recommended this one to me when it came out, he thought i'd enjoy the blues rock on here, and he was right...good man is Corey, well, he was until he gave me that stupid Itch-E and Scratch-E cd(see electronic section,what are you listening to)!
now, im not a big fan of The Blues really, but i think my tastes may be changing as i am not a big fan of Clapton,Buddy Guy,BB King and i love this album...
BB King plays guitar on this one and shares vocal duties on a track or two,
Bonamassa covers Cohen's "bird on a wire" also...i love that song whoever usually singd it, but it only gets a like score because im still not sure "blues" treatment does this as much justice as it should really!
a few really raunchy Blues tracks happening, and a few slowy 'bluesy' numbers also...
what really pricked up my ears initially was the similar sound and feel the track "blues and evil" has to my favourite Led Zep track "kashmir"(one of the greatest rock tracks ever IMO)...
so many great tracks on here, and im definately not what you'd call a blues-man, i will investigate this guy and his music a bit further at some point!
sorry, no studio or proper live links here so i cant post any...
