My copy came yesterday from Amazon. I think this is a fantastic album. Joe’s playing really kicks some **** on this one. This will be in my repeat play pile for a while.
When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Bravo
Re: Blues Deluxe Vol. 2 Coming 6 October, 2023
Its an excellent album. It seems skewed towards more of an R&B stying. A good amount if horns. I know that is a turn off for alot of folks here. Would not be my first choice of blues style, but still enjoy it.
Just taking it in. Def different from the original. Joe’s singing sounds great too!

Re: Blues Deluxe Vol. 2 Coming 6 October, 2023
Um
Trumpet, sax, trombone
Those are horns,
Watch Royal Albert Hall Concert 2009 get an idea of horns are used
Or watch the 3 Kings Tour from The Greek Theatre

Perhaps English is not your main Language?
What I mean as the music has a horn section used quite often. Compared to the first Blues Deluxe which was a guitar bass and drum mostly

Is not. My second language is English, I studied it at school and university.
Thanks for the clarification about the "horns")
In our mentality, “cuckolding” means treason, deceit towards a man.

Listening to this album again - it still doesn't do it for me. The first Joe's album I didn't buy. And if you know me - it tells you a lot. But! There is always a "but" - a few songs are growing on me - " Win -O" and "Is It Safe To Go Home" (although it's funny to think that what it would be if I asked an AI to wright a song in " Joe Bonamassa style")
Still absolutely loving Joe's guitar and all over his voice lately. Fantastic, sensual and touching tone. But Vol 2 is hard stop NO from me. Will stick with Vol 1 , The Masterpiece.

I do like first BD better. Style wise fits in where I am more. I wasnt sure on this first.
But its a grower for me. I think I have to be in the right mood for it. Same with Tine clocks.
Or maybe it was me expecting a more power trio type of album for this.
I will say Joe does mix things up. I have been hoping he would come back full circle and do a power trio or 4 piece album as with keys. Maybe that ship has sailed forever.
I will say the over all quality is there on the last two studio albums.
Maybe not my favorite Joe material over all.
but still enjoyable to me.
I do get where your coming from though.
If you just cant get into it then that is just the way it is. Hopefully next one will be a winner for you .
I am looking forward to the next BCC!

Great album “Blues DeLuxe” vol2 bravo, Joe !!!
Re: Blues Deluxe Vol. 2 Coming 6 October, 2023
For all those who - just like me - don‘t like Joe’s BD 2 that much- why don‘t you give Germany‘s multiple Blues Award winner Kai Strauss a try?! This guy really deserves it - for starters compare this version with Joe‘s

And what about this one, basically a song about Donald Trump

Really looking forward to new BCC. Have a feeling it will be fantastic! Hoping for at least a few tour dates, although the information on this is contradictory.
