Good article, especially interesting was the quote by Joe:
As for originals, Bonamassa admits he’s not a lyric man.
“The best songs I’ve ever been involved with were the ones that somebody else wrote the lyrics. I never will be Bob Dylan.”
An exception is “Richmond” on the “Sloe Gin” CD.
“To have that song so well-received has actually been a confidence builder for me. The worst thing in the world is to write a bad song that people make fun of. I’m just so honestly sensitive about that. That’s why I don’t write many songs.”
Seems that Joe underestimates himself, he has written some great songs.
Looks like tickets are still available for this show at the Surf...
Music is good for the Soul...
