Sloe Gin Amazon Review (Page 2 of 2)

Had to edit in the bold to be accurate & pitch the Live CD & DVD's! Man, this is like work or something! OK That's it!

Indeed a gift to the musically thirsty! Includes free refills! I don't care what you call it, modern or throwback (retro), adult contemporary, rock, whatever. YOU be the judge! For me, like heck this isn't a great blues rock album! This one album, Joe Bonamassa's sixth studio release (seventh total counting "A New Day Yesterday LIVE", which also was one of two outstanding DVD's, the other being "Live at Rockpalast"), his second with top-notch producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, who seems as high on Joe's talent as anyone these days, happens to be a cornucopia of blues-inflected rock stylings worthy of high praise and expenditure of your hard-earned, low net balance funds.

This is a "blues deluxe" album more so than the namesake album by Joe Bonamassa from 2003. That was more traditional style. This is mentored style blues perhaps, but it's also the most original blues album of the young century / millennium, brandishing in your face much more than Joe's biting guitar & amazingly soulful vocals, it's the real deal! A gift-wrapped package of delights, despite side trips through depressive states, for the ears and soul. It defies categorization and no description does justice. The whole album showcases the amazing talents of everyone involved. Not the same old same old anything, it's just a creative, living, breathing creature start to finish.  A modernized, male-spirited version of something new, significant, rock & stroll, yet still beautiful. Even if it develops Sloe-ly, like trying to get a buzz off a watered-down sloe gin fizz, it's a four seasons, five stars, any frame of mind or mood listen you'll enjoy.

Rock On & Keep the Faith,

I think that's something to take to the streets.  Underground.   Covert Ops.  Word of mouth.  Certainly for older fans. Not so for the younger crowd, who might think Carole King is Larry King's wife, or something similar as you might hear on The Tonight Show's Jaywalking. It was a little ostentatious for just a written music website review (Rocket not yet dumbed down for the masses ).  I stand by my feelings about it.  I feel there IS a real correlation between the two.  Other editing reasons besides space considerations were that Carole King's Tapestry was not male-spirited, it was a modernized female-spirited version, etc....  I used to it to compare, mostly for shared instant critical acclaim status. Then actually got woried about a jinx.  Quadruple Grammy winning is nothing to sneer at.  I feel most of us would be happy if it "only" gets a nomination, and set our expectations at nil.  Yet if it turns out that way will be peeved at the Grammatypical error!!!
Rock On & Keep the Faith,
