“The guy who has helped the blues industry the most is Joe Bonamassa and I would say he is more rock than some rock stuff, so to me blues is whatever you want it to be!”
Simon McBride in my interview with him in Blues Matters! Issue #56
The thread also includes my brief review, a more detailed review will hopefully appear in Blues Matters! magazine in a month or so.
