Topic: Recording Update and recent happenings

Hey Everybody,
         After flying back from Copenhagen I went right into the studio with Anton Fig ( Thanks for taking time off from the Late Show to play on my album) Carmine Rojas and Rick Melick and cut 7 very nice electric tracks for the new (I dont have a title ) Album.  I just got back from Pheonix playing with the great Keb Mo.  He was so good and writes greats songs.  I did 7 songs acoustic including High Water Everywhere which will be in the new set coming this tour along with songs from the new album.  I wanted to also write and say thanks to all in Europe for making the spring tour second leg very enjoyable.. I managed not to gain any weight and had a blast playing alot of new countries for the first time.  Spain and Italy and Sweeden especially.. It was our first time to those places and we had a blast.. Again thanks for being the best fans anybody could ask for.. I'm going to try to manage a few days off this month I'm hoping for 3 this week.. maybe.. I'll be at the Dallas guitar show playing acoustic stuff on Saturday.. My Dad is coming to hang which is cool brings me back to 15 years ago helping him out at the guitar shows.. Although as I approach 30 in 3 weeks my guitar buying days are coming to a end. Why you ask? Just different priorities and Im getting bored of collecting. Something I never thought would happen.  I also think a guitar should be played and enjoyed.. I rarely play most of mine and I dont need anymore 200 is plenty.  God 10 is plenty... Anyway thanks again and say a prayer for those kids in Virginia..Its very sad day here in this country.  Joe Bonamassa

Re: Recording Update and recent happenings

Glad to hear the new stuff is progressing. Did you happen to hit up Anton for a spot on Late Night by any chance? You've deserved a shot for a long time now. I watch Late Night regularly and click it off during the music half the time. I can't believe some of the acts that make it on there. Hopefully your time has come. True it's a very sad day due to the events @ Va Tech today. My prayers go out to them.

                                                                                                       Peace to All,

                                                                                                       J Dawg

Re: Recording Update and recent happenings

Thanks for the update Joe.  Glad you got to hang with Keb...   Hope you enjoy some of your days off, you are a hard worker for sure.  All of us on the forum kept up to date on your European tour and could tell that you were making new fans each and every city/country.   Collecting is fun, I have a microphone collection among other things, and I know what you mean when you reach a limit...  Look forward to seeing you guys on your next leg and hearing the new album...
Take care

Re: Recording Update and recent happenings

Joe, first of all, welcome back home. I'm glad it was a great trip and I'm looking forward to the new tour set and (eventually) the new album.
Thanks for the update, and for keeping things in perspective in regards to the tragedy in Virginia. Prayers to all those affected...those stricken as well as their family and friends.

Re: Recording Update and recent happenings

We'll just have to be patient for the new album but we know for sure it'll be worth the wait.  I'm excited about the prospect of hearing High Water Everywhere in the next setlist.

Re: Recording Update and recent happenings

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the heartfelt post.  My prayers go out to all the families affected by the Virginia Tech massacre.  Very sad.

On a lighter note, It's very exciting news to hear about the progress of your new Album.  I'm so looking forward to hearing some new "Bonamassa" tunes in addition to "High Water Everywhere". 

Be seeing you at the SLO show in May.  Oh, and have a very Happy Birthday smile

Susan
