Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe [2003][MP3 DOWNLOAD]

Biography by MacKenzie Wilson & Al Campbell @ALLMUSIC.COM

Guitar mastermind Joe Bonamassa, a young player with the childhood dream of playing music similar to legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix, was 22 when he inked a deal with Epic. Hailing from Utica, NY, Bonamassa could play the blues before he could drive a car. He first heard Stevie Ray Vaughan at age four and was instantly taken by Vaughan's high-powered playing. By age eight he opened for B.B. King, and at age 12 he was playing regularly around upstate New York. It was soon thereafter that Bonamassa hooked up with the band Bloodline, which featured other musicians' sons: Waylon Krieger (Robby Krieger's son), Erin Davis (Miles Davis' drummer kid), and Berry Oakley, Jr. (son of the Allman Brothers bassist). Bloodline released a self-titled album, but Bonamassa wanted to move on. In summer 2000 he guested for Roger McGuinn on Jethro Tull's summer tour, later releasing his debut solo album, A New Day Yesterday. Produced by longtime fan Tom Dowd, the album marked a move toward a more organic and rock-sounding direction. He put together a power trio with drummer Kenny Kramme and bassist Eric Czar and hit the road to support the album. Upon returning from the road, he hooked up with Dowd to record the muscular and sweeping studio disc So, It's Like That and released a document of the tour, A New Day Yesterday Live. The following year Bonamassa put out Blues Deluxe, featuring nine cover versions of blues classics alongside three originals. The muscular You & Me appeared in 2006, followed by the more acoustic-tinged Sloe Gin in 2007. A year later, Bonamassa released the two-disc live album Live from Nowhere in Particular, followed by the all-new Ballad of John Henry in 2009.

Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe [2000]
Review by Al Campbell @ALLMUSIC.COM

Joe Bonamassa's first solo release in 2000, A New Day Yesterday, paid homage to classic '70s blues/hard rock. Three years later, with the release of Blues Deluxe, the young guitarist is doing the same with the roots of the blues. Eight of the 12 tracks are covers: B.B. King's "You Upset Me Baby," John Lee Hooker's "Burning Hell," Buddy Guy's "Man of Many Words," Elmore James' "Wild About You Baby," T-Bone Walker's "Long Distance Blues," Freddie King's "Pack It Up," Albert Collins' "Left Overs," and Robert Johnson's "Walking Blues." The problem with about half of the disc is the difficulty of covering this type of material without being able to add much to it. At this relatively early stage in Bonamassa's discography, it may have been a better idea if he would have mixed 70-percent originals with a few covers instead of vice-versa. It's obvious Bonamassa has devoured this material, but his take on "Burning Hell," for instance, doesn't come close to matching the strength and realism of the original. The album's strong points are the three originals — "Woke Up Dreaming," "I Don't Live Anywhere," and "Mumbling Word" — and the Jeff Beck Group's "Blues Deluxe," which features smokin' guitar pyrotechnics. Still, thanks to musicians like Bonamassa, the more traditional blues artists covered on this disc continue to gain just as much exposure as younger artists as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, or Jimi Hendrix.
