Ballad of John Henry album Product Description

Ballad of John Henry album by Joe Bonamassa was released Feb 24, 2009 on the J&R Adventures label. Blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa gets up to his usual tricks on THE BALLAD OF JOHN HENRY, dabbling in a variety of genres, but injecting them all with a serious dose of guitar heroics. Ballad of John Henry songs Like his musical forefather Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonamassa is both soulful and a shredder, and he brings those qualities to tracks like Tom Waits's "Jockey Full of Bourbon," Ike & Tina Turner's "Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter," and a handful of rock and blues-fused originals. Ballad of John Henry album Bonamassa has a progressive sensibility, but that never keeps him, on any of BALLAD's 12 tracks, from rocking like no one's business. Liner Note Author: Joe Bonamassa.

Another Gem
This has to be the best Bonamassa cd so far [ I think I say that after every new one ] A great mix between electric & acoustic - Joe even has a horn section in a few - Really give a good listen to track # 7 - Happier Times - Wow ! Just crank this one - Good job Joe ! Wish I could see play Royal Albert Hall in May - What an honor ! You deserve it all man !

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT !!!
Was a great event to see him live in Greensboro,NC on March 25,2009. I bought this CD at the event & can't wait to see him in Oct. 2009 in Charlotte,NC.I will order his DVD from Rockaplast & am a member on his website. Only wish he had more appearances in our area. Great evening of entertainment and he never left the stage. You'll get your money worth & will purchase all CD's as my money allows. Would love to see him on an Austin City Limits, or late night shows for more exposure. Too many people just not exposed to such a talent and style.

Two times through and your hooked
Just saw Joe at the Spreckles Theatre in San Diego. 2 hours of non stop guitar at its best. Played many songs from this new release. 1500 people left exhausted and happy with money well spent. Joe Bonamassa - an American gift.............

Just Buy It !
No need for a song by song explanation, it's all great. Rockin' Blues or Bluesy Rock in the tradition of Zeppelin and Clapton, as good as any SRV release. Joe Bonamassa is the best living Blues guitarist. Buy the CD , then plan on going to see Joe in concert.
