Joe Bonamassa Books North American Fall Tour

Released last week, Blues Of Desperation marks Bonamassa’s 12th solo album. An announcement on his website calls the 11-track collection his “most powerfully diverse and boldly realized album yet.”

“I want people to hear my evolution as a blues-rock musician, somebody who isn’t resting on accomplishments and who is always pushing forward and thinking about how music can evolve and stay relevant,” Bonamassa says.

And there’s nothing like seeing the songs performed live.

A review by Wales Online of his Oct. 27 show proclaims, “Joe Bonamassa Live In Concert was billed as ‘the guitar event of the year’ and it certainly didn’t disappoint, delivering two hours of mind blowing guitar virtuosity at Cardiff Motorpoint.”

The write-up adds, “I’m fairly sure that a) his fingers are made of steel and b) he has more than 10 of them! After two hours, I was still mesmerized watching his fingers fly around the fretborad.”
