Classic Rock Revisited
Every fan of Classic Rock should own every album and DVD ever released by Joe Bonamassa yet many in the Rock world are not aware of him. If you love amazing guitar solos, passionate ballads, blues based classics and all around guitar virtuosity then you need to check out Joe Bonamassa.
A one time child guitar prodigy, Joe has matured as both a performer and a player. He is having amazing success running his own record label and touring as his latest # 1 album on the Blues Charts, Sloe Gin, shows. Joe has gone from a kid who can play the guitar to a man who is at the top of his musical game.

It seems like Joe Bonamassa has fewer reasons to sing the blues every day. Forget about the fact that Danny Gatton took him under his wing as a kid, and that he shared the stage with B.B. King when he was 11. He has also worked with legendary producer Tom Dowd, seen his last two releases debut at #1 on the Billboard blues chart, and won last year’s Guitar Player Readers’ Poll Award for Best Blues Guitarist (he actually tied for first with Buddy Guy—more good company).
