Re: Some Fantastic stuff on the new CD

Me too! I love everything on the cd, wish I could hear it all live, but Tamp em up was my first choice for what to add to the set list.

Re: Some Fantastic stuff on the new CD

I think that most of the material off "You and Me" could be performed live and sound just fine. The songs might not sound exactly like the record but that's ok. I would like to see Joe work up a solo acoustic arrangement of "Asking around for you." That could be a great live song. Another option would be a solo acoustic open, bring in the bass and drum during the middle of the song, and either complete the song together or return to a solo acoustic finish. It could work either way...

Re: Some Fantastic stuff on the new CD

Hey Rick,

Could you please reply with exact web address for Amazon in the UK. I am having trouble getting to their site.

I don't want to wait for the CD either. I heard some of the new tunes at the IMAC show and they are great. Reading your post has got my curiousity going once again.

Many thanks,

Pat

Rick,

Thanks very much. The link was perfect.

I ordered three from the UK (me, my wife and our son!).

Can't wait.

Thanks again.

Re: Some Fantastic stuff on the new CD

I've been listening to the new CD for about a month now (Internet sample) and was able to purchase a signed copy before the U.S. release date at the Raue Center show.  While getting it signed I wish I would have taken the time to ask Joe about the cover version of Led Zeppelin's Tea For One.  I just can't get over how much it sounds like a vintage Robin Trower song.  Joe's tone and phrasing are simply amazing, and Doug Henthorn's vocals only reinforce the Trower connection.  Brilliant cover!

Django is a haunting instrumental that I seem to play frequently as well.  Also, teaming up with Pat Thrall on Bridge To Better Days brought back some of my Pat Travers Band memories.  Pat is a good guitarist and it was nice to hear from him again.  You & Me is truly a great CD.

Re: Some Fantastic stuff on the new CD

I keep singing Tamp em Up Solid around the house, too... I love the new CD but I REALLY love how Joe can play an acoustic guitar. (got my alarm clock set to play Palm Trees, Helicopters and Gasoline at 5 o clock every morning...)

It got me to thinking that I would love to hear a stripped down album from Joe, just an acoustic guitar and his voice- could be just me, though...

I know it might not fit with the whole electric blues trio thing he has going on, but I know it would be an amazing set of recordings!

Hi A.J.- Love the acoustic idea and have thought before of how great a "Joe Bonamassa Unplugged" CD would be!  Some current songs reworked, new ones or covers added...voila'...a formula for adding some new fans to the following and an acoustic guitar endorsement...
