How did you score a copy of Revival by The Answer? I'm still waiting for the USA release....not even on iTunes yet (and even if it was I'd wait for the proper cd.....not a fan of itunes at all)

Re: Your Favorites For 2011

I'm waiting hard to get my copy of Dust & Scratches from Thorbjorn Risager.
Ordered it about 2 weeks ago ...
Album played at the Spirit of Verviers during dinner ... and sounded good. Whether it will be within my 2011 favourites? I have to lay my hands on it to be sure.

So, too early for my quote.

Geez Eva, how long have you been sitting on this cat?  Just casually checked out Thorbjorn and the my jaw immediately tinked my keyboard.  I love this type music and understand your frustration not getting the new album....yet!  His "You Walked Right In" is so, so soulful.  Reminds me a little of Jonny Lang if Jonny was taking steroids.  "Here I Am"...is that a Stevie Wonder song?  That one does put a smile upon my face.  Excellent shout!
Gotta include a vid (or 2) for this guy...

Re: Your Favorites For 2011

It was a exceptional year for quality releases
Here's My Fave's ...

The top 2 are set in stone, and Don't Explain is so close to pipping Dust Bowl, but the sheer depth of Dust Bowl is Killer with songs like Slow Train, Dust Bowl, The Last Matodor of Bayonne, No Love On The Street and Prisoner
Don't Explain is so great though it is so so close imho

11 from 11

Dust Bowl - Joe Bonamassa    10 out of 10 , Joe and the band in Killer form, Rifftastic epics)
Don't Explain - Joe and Beth Hart   (Stunning, truly breath taking arrangements here)
BCC 2 - Black Country Communnion  (Powerful tunes that rock so hard)
The Radium - Virgil and The Accelerators  (Awesome debut, which deliver the hardest bluesrock album of 2011)
Chantel McGregor - Like No Other (she is just that, Beautiful and stunning release by Chantel)
Stoney Curtis - Cosmic Conn3ction  (this album kicks real hard, brilliant rock/blues tunes)
Here I Go - Kenny Wayne Shepherd  (very strong album by KWS, some tough blues on show)
Eric Gales - Transformation  (a real wrecker of the toughest blues, Eric in blistering mood)
Adele - 21  (love this album, for my quieter side and some truly emotional touching songs on display)
Etta James - The Dreamer   (just that voice, that voice and great songs make it into my list)
John Hiatt - Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns  (have to thank that administrator for the heads up)

............... Michael

Joe Bonamassa .......  His Greatest 3 Videos ... IMMHO   After Much Deliberation
