The thing about Joe is that he's a total jerk. I've met him and my brother in law has played with him. He's more arrogant than people with twice his talent and 100 times the money. It's hard for me to listen to him after this. His style is very easy for me to get sick of, kind of like Eric Johnson. This is my opinion only and I'm not trying to insult anyone or influence anyone who's never heard him. I think he's a good guitar player who poorly executes his talent. He's a show boater.
Bloodline-"Bloodline" Smokin' Joe Bonamassa
I just received the CD Bloodline-"Bloodline". It was released back in 1994, but I had never heard of them.
I've really gotten into Joe Bonamassa, (thanks Theo) and this was his first band. He is actually billed as "Smokin' Joe Bonamassa" on this album and was only 17 or 18 years old. The other members of Bloodline are the sons of Miles Davis, Berry Oakley, (Allman Brothers) and Robbie Kreiger, (The Doors). Thus the name Bloodline, I guess.
This CD mixes hard driving blues with killer southern rock-n-roll. They only did this one album. It has become one of my favorite albums of all time.
It's kind of hard to find and it's pretty pricey used, but IMHO, well worth the search and price.
