Topic: My Mistake

How is it that this song was not a MONSTER hit?  It is quite possibly the catchiest tune Joe has ever recorded.  I bring it up tonight because I just noticed that it is one of the most frequently played tunes on my iPod and is far and away my most frequently played Bonamassa song. 

Up tempo, great hook, engaging vocal, tasty as hell guitar solo. Damn I love that song.

And damn!  Why have I never heard Joe play this one live?  It would be a killer!

Re: My Mistake

Just goes to show how the "music business" per se is more about marketing and payola than it is about quality tunes.  That plus the fact that the young are lemmings looking to see what everyone else thinks is cool and aping them equals the lowest common denominator radio airplay and music video situation we now have.  I have to think that quality will eventually rise to the top though, and like D i c k Dale, Joe will not have sold his soul or his catalog for temporary fame when he gets there.

Re: My Mistake

I could not agree more.  To date, SILT is still far and away my favorite album.  Dont get me wrong, I love the more blues oriented stuff he has done, but in my opinion he is at his best when he does the more blues/rock stuff.  The best evidence of this is on SILT and ANDY.  I am extremely disapointed that we hardly get to hear some of my favorite SILT songs in his shows (my mistake, lie #1, the hard way etc).  This was the first album of Joe's that I heard and there was one thing that really stood out in my mind.  This was the fact that he set himself apart from his peers (for instance Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne are two that came to mind at the time a few years ago), by not only having incredible guitar, but having catchy songs to back it up.  I come from a much younger generation, and while I love all of his albums, SILT was still easily my favorite.  With each album release and show attended I keep hoping to hear more of this type of music from Joe.  I think having it helps him to stand out as a more well rounded artist, and thats one of the things I like most about him...very versatile.  I also would like to see more acoustic songs (Woke Up Dreaming still blows me away every time I hear it).  But either way it is all amazing, so keep it up!

Re: My Mistake

I know this sounds sick, but it is what it is...I absolutely, positively LOVE this enitre album...to the point of consciously putting it down for a while, so I wouldn't burn it out or bear witness to the abuse in my household.  A deliberate test of self control so that when I played it again, it was sweet all over again.  (Think of being on a diet and refraining from your favorite caloric item (for me sweets) and then treating yourself...it's to be savored!) It keeps delivering...When I play it again, I always play it several times in a row, just because I can't get enough of it.

My Mistake is an incredible song, so is Lie # 1, I love the entire album.  I wish Joe would play any of the songs from this CD that he doesn't play.  roll

Re: My Mistake

I LOVE this album too.  'My mistake' ... what a perfect song to start.  It ticks all the right boxes and always makes me feel so good listening to it.  My feet start tapping, I start singing along and then the bass line comes in and everything sounds soooo darn good.  Do you think if we all asked Joe nicely he would include it in the next set list?  Just a thought ...

Re: My Mistake

A topic near and dear to my heart. SILT has always been the JB Holy Grail for me. Great songs. What an opener! My Mistake followed by Lie #1. Two of my absolute favorite JB tunes. Then of course Pain and Sorrow. Heck, I don't need to recite the track listing to you. It's not my intent here to be politically incorrect or stir up any (explative deleted) but have you ever really listened to the bass lines in those songs? Brilliant, simply brilliant, and they lend so much to the overall product. But without regard to that, SILT is my favorite JB Studio release, and the 1-2 combo of My Mistake followed by Lie #1 should make any DJ look forward to "Double Shot Tuesdays" !!!

Two of the catchiest funky tunes, great lyrics, and amazing counterpoint(s)... not overdone, not underdone, and definitely have the testosterone seal of approval...heck the whole undamned CD PLUS the Bonus DVD.....Wowser says Inspector Gadget!

so it's like that is probably the least blues rock cd hes done maybe besides sloe gin.  maybe.  you have takin the hit and pain and sorrow.  and the title tracks.  outside of that id call all the other songs light rock.  i dont mean that in a bad way, more in the way if anything besides the songs i listed got radio play it would be on the light rock station.  i say that because i believe like people are saying it should probably have been his best selling album(even though i dont think it is his best) and gained him a bigger audience than it did.  i love the album, but this is not his blues/rockstuff.

Re: My Mistake

Here we go......a mod posting in a thread that had long since been moved to old topics. When I moved it I obviously forgot to "close" it too and it's alive.

That being said -

SILT is one of my favs too. I really like "Under The Radar". That sound of that song reminds me of how a Saturday morning feels when you are a kid.

Really like the rockin sound of that whole CD, and some of the live versions that were spawned off of it. Top shelf!
