One can't help but be happy for Joe Bonamassa when listening to him tell his story during the Live from Royal Albert Hall interview. "I don't know what that is, but it's really cool," he recalls saying about his experience at age 4, while watching Eric Clapton play guitar on Cream's Farewell Concert. Undoubtedly, in that one moment, his life changed forever. He's had a guitar in his hand for over 30 years, doing what he loves to do best: Keeping the blues alive.
Bonamassa has said of his latest musical adventure, "It's a departure from anything I've done before." So much so, the British blues enthuisiast switched out his beloved '59 Gibson Les Paul for 12 acoustic models.

PRESS RELEASE:
NYC indie-rock artist, Freedy Johnston is performing on April 6, 2013 at Club Passim.
Heading out on the road, Freedy will be supporting his eleventh full-length album, Rain on the City.
Listen to his music at his website: http://www.freedyjohnston.com/music/
Rolling Stone and Spin hailed Can You Fly as a masterpiece. Robert Christgau called it "a perfect album." Its success led to a major label deal with Elektra, for whom Johnston released "This Perfect World" in 1994. Not only did that album showcase Johnston's increasing sophistication and range as a songwriter, but it also included his breakthrough hit, "Bad Reputation."

I've just finished watching the latest musical offering from Mr. Joe Bonamassa. "An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House" was released today and is available on two disc DVD, BluRay and CD format. Purchases can be made at most large retail music stores, at on-line music sites or via the artists official website.
My first impression: Mr. Bonamassa is elegant and deserving of headlining this historic venue. His classically trained guitar skills are prominent on each of the newly arranged songs, as four, handpicked and culturally diverse, musicians from Ireland, Sweden and the USA add their own unique spice to the audible brew. An Irish bango, mandolin, baby piano, accordian, glockenspeil, Nickelharpa and various ethnic percussion, create a colorful and worldly sound.
As you will see, the official trailer is designed to be a teaser and is no replacement for actual viewing of the full-length feature. I highly recommend purchasing this DVD as soon as possible.
Look for my full review in the days to come.
Yours in music,
DebFromMaine Hebert
