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)
