Joe Bonamassa- Dust Bowl


“Stop!” is from the 2009 release Ballade of John Henry. I couldn’t find any decent videos of him playing songs off of Dust Bowl so I thought this would at least give a glimpse into his talent. If you get your hands on Dust Bowl I would strongly suggest track 6 titled “You Better Watch Yourself”.



Have you been singing the blues recently? If so then Joe Bonamassa’s new solo album Dust Bowl is here to lend you a hand. Dust Bowl is full of wailing guitar solos and great jazz drum beats. When Joe Bonamassa was twelve he opened for the legendary B.B. King, if that can give you any idea of how good he is. There just isn’t a guitar player I have heard in a long time who does the blues this well. Joe Bonamassa’s talent isn’t just in producing great guitar licks, but also he is an incredibly talented singer/song writer. John Hiatt is featured on one of my favorite songs on the album, “Tennessee Plates,” as well as Vince Gill on “Sweet Rowena.”  Dust Bowl is a must listen for anyone who loves well-executed guitar solos and just the blues in general.
