Missed by 50 sales for two weeks. That means we ALL need to keep getting this Man's name out to all we know. smile

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

My well deserved congratulations to you!!!!

Sloe Gin is a brilliant album!  Why? Because it is one of those album which get better everytime you listen to it. Many albums are great the first time you listen to it but the more you listen to them, the more you get bored.
I had that with all U2, many Gary Moore (because of his singing) albums: never play them anymore.

The real musical treasure open after a while, like  Allman Brothers, Litte Feat, JJ Cale . Sloe Gin has the same, the song itself will become a classic. Mind my words. 
                 
I told my wife that when I will die, hopefully in a very long time: Sloe Gin must be played at my funeral!! I hope you Joe, will do it live for one of your truly fans!!! I'm much older than you so there is a chance!!!

Joe, you kept our prediction, mine and my friends Rudi and Johan. We three saw you the first time in Duiven November 19th 2004. We said this is a treasure, he will be famous in the future, he is so good. And look: It is going to be that way.
Hope to enjoy your shows in The Hague and Hardenberg in March.

I have a question for you Joe, maybe this is not the right place. I work at a school in Winterswijk , pupils age 12 till 19. We have 1350 pupils, so it must be possible to get a group for you. It is not far from Hardenberg where you perform on Firday March 13th. That Friday would be perfect.. Is it possible to do a bluescollege at our school?? First one in Europe, newspaper, I try radio, Dutch TV to give it more impact for you. Please let me know if you are interested.
I know it is a bit impudent but it would me awesome.

Thank you for the joy your music brings me.

Andre Wittebroek.

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

YEAH YEA RECORD NUMBER 1, whatever.  That is like saying the sky is blue, or water is wet.  Joe Bona-somebody or other put out ANOTHER number 1 record.  sigh.

Its like saying Micheal Jordan was going to take the last shot.

Of course its number one.

I say this...eat more vegetables.  Drink more water.  And work with your trainer to prevent carpal tunel.

The fact is these people want to be your fan for 100 years, and you need to buy a scarf, a stocking cap, take vitamin c, and stay healthy.

And I think you need to wear a seatbelt.

And buy a PSP for the road.

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.

I can't speak for EVERYONE, but I can say that you sure spoke for me Stu.  18 years ago I KNEW it was going to happen, I just never expected it to take so long.  How many people are just getting exposed to Joe's talents & will marvel at his instant success?  It's been a long, hard road, and Joe deserves all the accolades he's receiving.

Congratualtion Joe!!!

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

More congratulations from Holland, Joe! Here's to many more weeks at the top!

Both the title track and the cd as a whole are killers. I have to agree with my friend Andre a few posts up this page - the secret is that this is a piece of music with class and staying power, something which ever more people are discovering.

In all honesty though, there is no substitute for your live performances, which are off the planet!! So I'll be at least two gigs here next March, though I'm hoping to make three.

RIP Iron Man

Rock On and keep the Faith

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

Very happy to hear that your CD is #1 again.  Joe's music is the only music on my Ipod.  I listen to my Ipod while working out at the gym.  Good music to listen to while doing cardio.

Re: Sloe Gin # 1 again

So happy for you!!!

The Bonamassa train is rolling!!!
