I have not read all the posts, I am taking a short break from work - are you saying BCC is touring the U. S.  next summer?

An educated guess.

FANTASTIC!  On this site's entry, there is a news update about JB's interview with Billboard Magazine that is a 'grabber.'  The centerpiece is "Driving Towards The Daylight," #1 on BB's Blues Charts, but the article/interview goes further regarding JB's meld with Black Country Communion.  The entire article is WELL WORTH a read, ALL Joe Bonamassa folks !

That statement he made about the tour last year running him into the ground says it all. He's learned that pacing his energy is very important. There are so many irons in the fire it is hard to grab a cool handle. I'm as big a fan of BCC as any but I'll defer pleasure to when he can fit it in. Meanwhile, BCC3 is in the can! big_smile

Rick, have you read the 'news' article on the site's main page, re:  Billboard's interview with JB ?

"There's a lot of people that are in so much of a hurry to be, I guess, to be famous or that they don't want to take the time to learn to play and do all that.They'd rather just knock it down off a computer and maybe get on a game show and get famous..That's fine if that's what you want to do.

Re: Joe's Interviews

100% correct about playing acoustically being a challenge etc.. Strip away the loud amp and easy breezy electric guitars and trying to "shred" on an acoustic was very difficult for me to get used to and I'm just a joe blow with nothing to lose playing in small bars.

Watched this a couple of days ago

This interview is notable for a couple of points.  The first being that 50% of what Joe says is completeley unintelligible because of the background music.

Secondly, Joe makes a point of mentioning that he feels he has lost dexterity in his playing, not only over 20 years but over the last 5 or 6 and that his fingers just dont go as fast as they used to.
