Release Notes:
--------
The Crown Prince of the Blues pays homage to two of his forefathers.
After being Mr. BonamassaÆs biggest critics; this double album and DVD package
has genuinely won me over and I can honestly say I am now an unashamed fan.
The double live album is a faithful recreation of his tribute concerts at the
famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre across the Labor Day weekend in 2014 and the DVD
comes with a wonderful extra disc featuring BonamassaÆs road trip to the
mythical Crossroads at Clarksdale, a look behind the scenes at the concerts and
some footage of Muddy Waters and HowlinÆ Wolf that IÆd never seen before.
As usual with JoeÆs work the recording of the concert is pin-sharp and bares
repeated plays; which is unusual for me and a Live Album; and the video has just
the right amount of cutaways in the edit to keep even those with a short
attention span (me!) happy across the two and a half hours.
IÆve long been a critic of all the current crop of guitarslingers for their
incessant noodling solos; and JB has been at the top of the list; but here; as
with his recent excursions with Beth Hart, the solos are all relatively short
and impeccably sharp (rarely more than two or three minutes) and the young
Maestro is never shy in stepping back and letting the band members have their
moment in the spotlight too.
The concert is split into three distinct parts; opening with eight Muddy Waters
songs; followed by three Wolf tunes; but donÆt worry, as the third track is an
amazing medley that showcases not only BonamassaÆs dexterity on the guitar but
also finds a new range in his voice. Although it was a bit of a surprise to me,
Bonamassa finishes with a short set of his own songs; which sends his fans
ballistic.
I canÆt actually think of a track that shouldnÆt be here; but there are also
gems littered throughout the concert; with the hand-picked band swinging the
Hell out of WaterÆs Stuff You Gotta Watch and Real Love; while that medley of
Spoonful/Killing Floor/Evil/All Night Boogie will have me returning to it many
times in the coming years. Of his æownÆ songs Oh Beautiful from his latest album
is outstanding; and this is probably my favourite version of Sloe Gin that IÆve
heard.
On the Extras DVD I heartily recommend you get to see Joe and KevinÆs Excellent
Adventure, where Bonamassa and Kevin Shirley drive a big Red Convertible down to
the Delta and visit a couple of museums and the mythical Crossroads where Robert
Johnson æsold his soul to the DevilÆ.
When they find the Crossroads they get out of the car and take some photos, and
while talking to the camera, a man from the Diner approaches them with a flyer
about the history of the area. The next five minutes had my smiling as the guy
not only doesnÆt recognise Joe Bonamassa, but when told his name, it doesnÆt
mean anything to him either. A lesser man would have left that out of the edit;
so hats off to Joe!
Two more things that sounded like throwaway lines; but have helped me warm to
the New Yorker:
Bonamassa is visibly humbled by the Sell-out crowd of 9,000; which he says is
the biggest crowd heÆs played to. For some reason I presumed he would have
played to bigger crowds; but apart from Festivals canÆt think of another modern
Blues act who could actually attract that many under their own name, so again
æhats off to JoeÆ for mentioning it.
The guitarist gets criticized for his ædress senseÆ more than anything else; but
he makes the point that he wears a sharp suit in homage to artists like Waters
and Wolf who treat their audiences with respect by looking smart on stage; and
if it was good enough for them itÆs good enough for him and his assorted bands.
So, there you have it Joe Bonamassa has not only produced a truly excellent
Double Live album, but has included a bonus DVD in the concert packaging that is
well worth watching as a documentary on its own.
