Topic: Sloe Gin # 1 again

I dont know what to say its number one again... Its been # 1 for 9 out of 11 weeks.  We were # number 2 for a two weeks and missed it by 50 records.  I am so honored by all the support.  Thank you so much for making my year and career.  Its been the time of my life.  Joe Bonamassa

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Hey Joe - that's great news but we should be thanking you for making such a darn fine record in the first place!  It's not been out of my car CD player since August and I will never get tired of hearing Sloe Gin.  I hope sincerely that this year is the start of something much bigger for you.

You deserve it, Joe!  smile
You deserve it like no one else to be honoured for your fantastic music and for putting your whole soul into this music ...

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Joe,
There is a very good reason for Sloe Gin being # 1 , it is outstanding.
You just keep getting better and better. I truly believe that your present band is the best yet from you.
Thanks for the great music.

Congrats Joe, when you start next years tour in the states, your bus should really be pimped out with the duckets ya got rolliing in!! How bout HD/LCD teles all through the bus, a mini bar, lazy boy loungers, just a thought. No, I got it , have your name all across the bus, ya know they have those huge stickers you see on peoples cars for advertisement. Ah never mind, think i drank to much coffee this morning, have a great day, and keep the legend growing smile

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Very cool. I think I speak for everyone when I say we all knew it would happen, we just didn't know when. I think it's almost as fun for us as it is for you, to have been along for the ride. It's also exciting to think about the groundwork that has been established by the success of this record, and the broadened fanbase and exposure you've gained. I've got a hunch that all these factors combined will create so much anticipation for your next release that whenever it comes out, it just might explode...fun stuff for sure.

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Congrats Joe!  We are all excited too...

It looks like Stevie Ray Vaughan's Real Deal Vol. 1 was the one that took the honors the last few weeks.  It's a shame that when people pick a SRV album that they buy that one.  Pretty weak compilation if you ask me.  I'd take any studio album over that and for sure any of his live stuff...

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Congrats Joe and no surprise. I'll bet You and Me is still in the top 20 also! So that means it's possible to have 3 in the top 20 when the next project is released. I dare anyone to say Joe who?             Cathy

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Glad you're making a dime out of it...you deserve every penny with interest!
....and hopefully we can all laugh our way into the history books....

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Yipppeeeee!!!!   And so well deserved, my friend.  I am so happy for you and for us (your devoted fans ) .

I have to tell you, I am not surprised.  It has truly been a magical music journey you've taken us on  and I'm looking forward to many more years of it. 

Be seeing you in Florida in 3 weeks and 3 days.  (Maybe sooner if we manage to make it to the West Palm show). 

Stay Healthy and Be Safe.
