Missed by 50 sales for two weeks. That means we ALL need to keep getting this Man's name out to all we know.
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.
Joe,
Hard work, perseverance and talent pay off! Congratulations...you deserve everything that's happening and so much more. You have brought countless hours of joy to the people on this forum and beyond.
I said it before and I'll say it again....this album is gonna have a long ride at the top of the charts!
Thanks Joe.

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.
Great news Joe, well deserved!!! We are hoping that it will continue to stay on top for many weeks to come...
If it's making you Happy and You're Having The Time of Your Life .... That's Cool
Cos it sure is making the time of alot of peoples Music Listening lives Happy .... It is a Truly Fine Damn Album and Worthy of The Top Spot for all Those and Numerous Weeks to Come , It is Still Growing in Stature the More you Play it and Get into it ....... Just wanna Hear a Long Version of " Jelly Roll " I'm Crazy 'bout that Jelly
Well Done Joe and all that Contributed to it's Creation ........ It's a Modern day Musical Masterpiece
I Just Love the all Round Feel of Sloe Gin
................................ Michael
Congrats Joe!! We should be thanking you for all you have done for us, musically and spiritually.
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!!!
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.
Well done Joe. It's well deserved man!!!! I've been saying for ages that Sloe Gin has "Classic Album" status written all over it.
IT'S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME...Congratulations Joe and thanks for taking us along for the ride!!
(one smiley from each family member)
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
One thumb way up with a goofy smile and a big thanks, Sir, for picking up this inter-galactical hitch hiker! No need to drop me off Around the Bend. If it's OK with you , I'd like to keep riding along...Who knows what we can experience together bending that time / space continuum just a liiiittttttttttllllle more backwards or forwards or sideways, or...anyways!!! If you accept requests, can you get us up to 88 mph???
Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket
P.S.-Vote Fans
That's great news Joe.To be nr.1 again with Sloe Gin.
But like everybody already mentioned this.
You deserve it.
You're a great artist who travels around the world for his fans and that's why everybody loves you and bought the album.
Keep up the good work!
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.
So happy for you!!!
The Bonamassa train is rolling!!!
Hey Joe, I still sign off on my e-mails that "sloe gin" is the number one album in the country, so I'm thinking your getting some good karma from alot of us!
Dave
Congrats Joe , you deserve it , Thx for the great music
