Recliner Pilot 61 Posted August 24, 2012 I'm a Blues fan, but for some reason never ran across this guy until I was flipping channels in the middle of the night a few weeks ago and saw him during a PBS fundraiser. Fukker is awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWty_lD1ZLA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted August 24, 2012 Too bad you don't scan all the threads,I started one on him in August 2009,you could've been rockin' to him for the last three years. He is fockin' awesome though,seen him live twice so far and going again November 2nd in Kansas City. One of my favs below,very sweet intro that last about 4 1/2 minutes and then just a tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqcNwdbpKqE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKET 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Seen Joe over a dozen times and BCC twice. Never been disappointed. Best guitarist/performer nobody knows about. Met him and his band several times too, great guy who hangs out and signs stuff for his fans after every show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoytdwow 202 Posted August 28, 2012 He's a good player with a good sound. His stuff is what it is though, ersatz blues/rock. It's been done to death and bores me very quickly. He's got a meh voice, too. The thing I've never understood about players like this is, why do they always end up with 15-piece bands. Organists, 2 drummers, horn sections, etc. It totally detracts from the songs, imo. Put a focking 4 piece band on the stage and blow the doors off the joint. Leave the focking orchestra for late night tv bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted November 2, 2012 Disagree totally. Yep Seeing him tonight and the title track of the project Driving Towards The Daylight has quickly moved into my Bonamassa favs.Love the line,"driving towards the daylight,running from the midnight,trying to get my way home..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGxOYLJCArA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe did that for the DVD concert generally he is accompanied by a bassist,drummer and keyboardist and blows the doors off as seen below from the latest tour.Check it out from the 2 minute mark on if not all of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSPuJN3oI6U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks. We just got our youngest a Galaxy S3 and within hours she was telling me about the Music Paradise app. I downloaded about 20 of his songs last night....every one they had. If you don't have the app you need to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKET 0 Posted November 14, 2012 I gonna download some of his music. Make some recommendations. I like more of the hard rock stuff mixed in the the R&B. Travelin South Black Lung Heartache Sloe Gin Had To Cry Today Last Kiss ( Live version is better) Bridge To Better Days Ball Peen Hammer One Of These Days Young Man Blues- Who Cover only on youtube, soon to be released in a live album Crawl on the New BCC album Afterglow Also 'check out his album with Beth Hart, far from hard rock but awesome stuff. She's one of the best female vocalists you've never heard of ( makes the Taylor Swifts and Katy Perry's of the world look pathetic) and she has an incredible rack to boot.

nzoner 936 Posted November 15, 2012 Sloe Gin Was going to put that on my list but since he wanted harder stuff didn't.One of my favorites though,great song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,205 Posted March 13, 2013 Funny that this thread was bumped; I caught a little of a concert of his on PBS last night. An acoustic show in... Vienna? Anyway, great stuff as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porkbutt 861 Posted February 20, 2019 love the blues...and usually dig good guitarists like him...but for some reason i just can't really get into the guy. maybe cause he's such a dork..maybe his voice. seems a little inauthentic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,545 Posted February 20, 2019 Mentioned a few times but for a more rock and roll sound his work with BCC is pretty good. Glenn Hughes is old as dirt but can still sing hy6WLBvBXaI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
