Release Notes:
--------
Different Shades Of Blue (J&R Adventures) is Bonamassa's first studio album in
two years and the first album of his career to feature all original material.
The result is a record with more of an experimental edge than previous Bonamassa
records. It s a blues record that explores the outer reaches and the many
different sounds that shape the genre.

'It s been a while since I've been involved in the writing on an entire album.
So I decided I wanted to make a completely original blues album', said
Bonamassa. 'I've really had to push myself to make everything I do better than
the last project. I know the fans expect it. And I feel like I owe it to the
fans to give them an original record after all these years'.

To prepare for the record, Bonamassa took 2013 off from releasing any new studio
material, a rarity in the tireless bluesman's career, and instead spent time in
Nashville writing with Jonathan Cain (Journey), known for hits Who s Crying Now,
Open Arms, and When You Love A Woman; James House (Diamond Rio, Dwight Yoakam,
Martina McBride), and Jerry Flowers (Keith Urban).

'The writers really inspired me, and having access to really great lyricists and
songwriters made it such a great experience', said Bonamassa.

Recorded at Studio At The Palms in Las Vegas, NV, Different Shades Of Blue was
produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin), who has
helmed Bonamassa's last fifteen projects including his solo projects and
collaborations with Black Country Communion and Beth Hart. To compliment
Bonamassa s signature guitar style and vocals, Shirley brought together a group
of musicians including Reese Wynans (organ, piano), Carmine Rojas (bass),
Michael Rhodes (bass), Anton Fig (drums, percussion), Lenny Castro (percussion),
Lee Thornburg (trumpet, trombone), Ron Dziubla (saxophone), the Bovaland
Orchestra (strings), and Doug Henthorn and Melanie Williams (background vocals).

'It s definitely my favorite Joe Bonamassa record to date', said Shirley. 'It s
an album that deserves to be listened to in its entirety. Luckily Joe s fan base
really seems to appreciate a body of work and not just songs'.

Shirley said, 'I think Joe has learned the value of not underestimating his
audience. He plays music as well as he can, and always tries to bring music of
depth to his audience. We try very hard to make the records as multidimensional
as possible and really try not to cut any corners in delivering them'.

Bonamassa has twelve #1 Billboard Blues Albums (more than any other artist) and
received his first GRAMMY nomination in 2013 for his collaboration with Beth
Hart on the duo's sophomore album Seesaw. His 2013 solo acoustic project An
Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House was nominated by the Blues Music
Awards for Best DVD and his 2009 DVD Live From The Royal Albert Hall recently
received RIAA Platinum Certification.
