joe with sloe gin in german newspaper (stuttgarterzeitung).....

Here's a really bad translation of the article from Google Translator.  I'm not sure how much it helps, but here it is anyway:

New CDs in September
CD - Joe Bonamassa: Sloe Gin
Joe Bonamassa: Sloe Gin
Provogue/Rough trade

In this country one has the New Yorker Joe Bonamassa secret tapping status. The readers of the magazine “Guitar Player” lent however already once the title “best Blues guitarist to it 2007”. That one does not end, in order to attain such a title not necessarily not fatiguing 12-Takter and to wanting Soli play must, makes Bonamassa with its sieved album “Sloe Gin” clear from the first clocks.

Chris Whitleys “ball Pen hammer” begins acoustically, however soon by strong electrical guitars on a varied Bluesrockpfad is led, which schlängelt itself by the following ten titles.
If Bonamassa rockt, he provokes pressureful Powerchords like once that unfortunately much too fast again into the Bedeutungslosigkeit Billy Squier disappeared. Some arrangement a certain sponsorship from the corner of the brothers Allman is not to be denied to its Slidespiel like also. All the same whether electrically also acoustically - he seems to have heard its LED Zeppelin plates likewise more frequently. Producer Kevin Shirley smoothed some corners and missed “Sloe Gin” a modern sound, which does not harm the album however.

Despite many identifiable influences “Sloe Gin” carries a clear own handwriting, which manifests itself not only in Bonamassas play and strong singing but also in the quality of its self-compositions and the selection of the Coversongs.
