Live from Nowhere in Particular (Audio CD)

Great Live Album Having owned all of JB's albums to date I was a bit worried this might be a bit of a waste of time. How wrong I was. The live version of Sloe Gin in fantastic and Woke Up Dreaming is probably the best acoustic track I've ever heard - purely from a playing perspective. Can't wait to catch him live. Highly recommended album - buy it!

If you only buy one Joe Bonamassa album ... ... buy this one. Listen to it, then go and buy the rest of his catalogue. An excellent blend of blues and rock and most things in between, this shows off Joe's touch, feel and tone when it comes to delivering music his way. From the inspiration that is Bridge to Better Days to the emotion that goes in to Sloe Gin and the energy of Woke Up Dreaming - can he play that any faster?! - this will not disappoint anyone who remotely likes blues music.

BONA MASTER OF THE BLUES Some people are treating Bonamasssa as a new artist,the fact that he has been around since 1994 seems to have escaped most people,however better late than never.this album captures him Live and excellent it is too,he has the skill of Johnny Winter,and in some ways reminds me of the late great Jeff Healey,proving that white men can play the blues,for pure blues listen to"Slo Gin" and "If heartaches were nickels" While people like Joe are playing like this (by the way the album is number 45 in the UK charts)the blues is alive and well,

Pure unadulterated magic So good it almost made me do a little wee! (and that is a compliment)

Outstanding ! This album is so damm good its been played almost continously since I got it. I saw Bonamassa on the lat UK tour and have tickets for the next one and this album is such a good reminder of the blazing music from the first tour. He is on fire on this album with some of the very best of his stuff (and as ever the cracking bits from Zeppelin and Yes. Standout tracks (from a very very good bunch) are 'Just got Paid' , 'Sloe Gin', and 'Bridge to Better Days' - and just listen for the fluid guitar playing on 'Django' - Dave Gilmour has some serious competition - and admirers.. Its the sheer consistency that comes across here - of course he could select from all the recorded tour dates - but this is a great cllection of live (and this is my ultimate yardstick - can he do his stuff live ? ) ,material where the guitar work is sublime, and how his band hammer out a great sound. If you like Blues or Rock or a mixture then this will work for you.
