Is Joe re-defining the modern day Blues? (Page 4 of 4)

From the Liverpool City Beatles portal

Joe artistry spans and morphs into other genres, he is a rare musician who does not stay firmly in one area of music, he is willing to take risks trying out and experimenting in all kinds of music
look at his past voyages into Blues his main artery then Rock which has become more evident in his live shows of reecent years, so a mixture of both in his own unique way, it is polished blues rock for a modern audience but also delving into the history of where he first got into music a la BB King "Yonders Wall" "Someday After a While"  this is his first love by far but with the added twist of those british rock bands from the 70's  Cream Free & Led Zeppelin makes for that edgier sound on album and in the live show,  Funk found its way with Rock Candy Funk Party, another love of a band of musicians he hangs with and relishes that different challenge, The Heavy Rock/Metal side he tried with Black Country Communion and it was fun while it lasted briefly, too much intense intensity was affecting his own normal career and would have engulfed and broken him away from what he built up over 2 decades, his success and goals was always to play blues predominantly, Joe has moved into Soul with Beth Hart which i feel is his best move and there's so much more these 2 can do together, writing, performing live hopefully baround the world cos in just the few shows they done last summer there was an unbelievable chemistry  imagine when they click live on a proper tour.
Plus he has done an acoustic album and tour which showed it all stripped back to a country folk feel, i must say i look at that "Vienna" show    it is to me his highest acheivment  even over RAH and such a wonderful haunting recording showing all manner of emotion, superb JB

So my answer is yes, in his own way to the modern day and that is the key word "Modern"   Joe is the torch bearer, i hate using that phrase but he is at the forefront of Blues now while BB, EC & Jeff Beck who are still huge in legendary terms  youngsters i guess want a cool  lol looking guitar here to look up to and audiences want something fresh, Joe delivers all that with an epic live show and his guitar playing is world renowned now as is so clinically clean and truly awesome like all the old greats from a bygone era his is re reviving that guitar maestro image that all lovers of Rock Blues and any other genre always crave to see, someone screaming the life out of a guitar and then subtlely like an angels heartbeat

Joe is a rare gifted artist spawned out of the usually unheard genre of blues who can and is slowly bringing it to the forefront of the live and music attentitive world

So Blues has Joe to thank

ps ...... i'd like to see Joe hook up with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart with Carmine on Bass and do a sort of American/British songbook of tunes from yesteryear   like a male version of what he's doing with Beth

Perfectly said.
