Re: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

I like them ALL!!!  smile  Tons of great options here.

But, I am partial to "Midnight Blues".  I am a big fan of Gary Moore and Joe's rendition is off the charts outstanding.  And I am a huge fan of this particular rendition, from my first Joe concert...

..but not my last.  I'm looking sooooooo forward to his November show in St Louis.  smile

Yes!!! Yes, I'm agreeable to both of your sentences' premises.  And, once again "best" should be exchanged for "favorite(s)."

Now, also amongst my "favorites" within Joe Bonamassa's slow blues repertoire, I have to add "The Thrill Is Gone," and, he and Rock Candy Funk Party's Baked Potato performance of "Wee Wee Hours." Of course, I'd have to rank many listed in previous posts as favorites, and, when I "Reconsider, Baby," as expected, "The Great Flood" also definitely floats to the top.  But now, after I stop to add "Stop," I have to mention a slow blues song authored (not a cover) by Joe that slides into the deep recesses and trenches of my soul, personally, with it's stark, yet profoundly resonating, visceral, bluesy emotional stratus, whoa... "From The Valley!"

On internet forums talking about music, "best" always means "favorite."  Just an automatic word substitution I do.  Like autocorrect in my brain. wink

Re: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

On "Wandering Earth," a great slow burner, I call it a definite (fun) favorite when he sings the "to see fortune and Faaaaame! big_smile

Re: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

Although I already listed Reconsider Baby #1 and TGF as a close second, I have to say that  I have never seen a better guitar solo than The Great Flood from the first Royal Albert Hall show.
Does that mean I have Reconsidered Baby? Yeah, I guess so.

Without a doubt "Asking Around For You". My wife and I have decided the lyrics will be engraved on our tombstone.

Good call.  I was reading through all the previous posts thinking to myself.....why has no one mentioned Last Matador of Bayonne!!  Besides that, I LOVE Midnight Blues and The Great Flood.  All the others listed are obviously great, but those are my personal favorites.
