New York guitar phenom walks tall in the blues tradition with this third album, jettisoning fiery riffs inspired by John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Elmore James, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman. Equally inspired by the Delta blues and the mid-'60s British blues boom, the young firebrand--who titled this CD after a Rod Stewart song penned while in the Jeff Beck Group--is able to fuse those two schools together, creating edgy blues rock. --Jaan Uhelszki |

Joe Bonamassa - Pays Homage To The Blues Masters |
|
More outstanding blues rock from one of this country's top young blues guitar slingers Joe Bonamassa. On this, his 3rd album, Joe does an album of mostly covers. Bonamassa breathes fresh new life into tracks originally performed by blues masters like Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Elmore James, Albert Collins, Robert Johnson and others. He also throws in a few original tracks as well. This is a very good blues album in many ways. Bonamassa covers all kinds of guitar styles here on electric, acoustic and slide. His interpretations of blues classics pay homage to the original versions, but Joe is able to put his own stamp on all of them. His cover of John Lee Hooker's "Burning Hell" is especially effective. Bonamassa continues to be one of the great young new blues talents on the circuit today and this is another very good album. |

This phenom is getting major hype, huge kudos from newbies, some of it merited. He's got guitar chops, but is not original, and still has absolutely nothing on the generations of great blues guitar masters before him, whose stuff he's cobbled together into a slick commercial sound. Take the title track: Jeff Beck+ Stevie Ray Vaughan+ Buddy Guy+shreddy 80s/90s style is the end result, and you may still wind up thinking, hm, I've still heard better, more soulful, more honest. Go listen to some Guitar Slim, Roy Buchanan, Mike Bloomfield, Elmore James, the Kings, Icepick, etc. etc. |

Pandora Picked it Right! |
Pandora picked it right! Now that I have DSL I can listen to Pandora internet radio at home, and my favorite "channel" is my SRV one. All Blues, all the time. Up comes Joe Bonamassa's "Blues Deluxe" album, and I'd never heard him before. Made me come to a complete STOP and go into a trance. This guy really has it. I wish I could go to a live concert with him and Stevie Ray Vaughn - it would be the ultimate blues show.
Had to come out of my trance just to do this review! SOLD! |

Great! |
|
I'm gonna have to go back and listen to Jeff Beck's version of "Blues Deluxe," because it's rivaled by a damned fine rendition on this album! Hell, this whole album is great! A lot of killer electric blues, different styles of songs...it just never gets boring. Joe Bonamassa plays with a lot of grit and groove, and it makes the music very enjoyable and a helluva lot of fun to listen to. Good stuff! |
