From the Artist,This is the CD I’ve had head in my head for a while. With You & Me, we are trying something different, trying to extend the boundaries of traditional blues. In essence, we wanted to do our part in helping to redefine the sound of modern blues music.
A powerful fusion of the "big rock sound" and swampy blues, You & Me gets much of its inspiration from such masters as Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker. Bonamassa delivers all the excitement and power of his electrifying live performances while mixing it up with dynamic music choices; from hard to soft, electric to acoustic, a music roller coaster seldom achieved by recording artists today.
Bonamassa's lastest could be his best yet. This one will be around for a long time.
Electric Blues
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, SRV, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman.
Electric Blues
Joe Bonamassa's Had to Cry Today is a 11-song tour-de-force from a young bluesman that brings back memories of early Albert Collins and Johnny Winter. Had to Cry Today is Joe's follow-up to Blues Deluxe, this one features a mix of originals and covers that blaze the trail onward for Bonamassa.
