Re: Billboard Blues Chart, Week of May 31, 2008

I'm getting sick of seeing SRV greatest hits on this list!

I thought Back Door Slam was #2 or #3 a couple weeks back!? they dropped to #9?
Nice to see Joe up there!

where do you get these stats? Do you have to pay for a subscription or something?

#3 AND the 39th WEEK !!!!!  cool





When I look to see where Sloe Gin stands, I just go to Billboard.com and type in Joe Bonamassa.  It brings up Joe of course.  The listing that Bluezman posted, I dunno.

Never get tired of Stevie. I just wished they'd release something more than a compilation. It's been awhile now since the Montreux stuff. I'm thinking Daytona Beach 1988?

My wife heard Michael Burks (#12) on XM the other day, came home and immediately downloaded a few of his songs from itunes...really nice stuff.
It's somewhat unusual for her to rush home and download a new artist, let alone a blues artist. I must be making progress!

Oh yeah, nice to see Joe still hanging near the top.

I'm with Patty - # 3 after 39 weeks!!!  Not bad.  Not bad at all.  Also, of course, it's impossible to begrudge Stevie or Jeff anything, isn't it??

And Nic, perhaps the BDS drop may be a reflection of their recent nearly month long break from their tour.  Tonight is THE first night of another 4 months on the road.  It will be interesting to watch the charts and see what happens after they've been back on the road for a few weeks, yes??

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-

Doheny probably helped Joe climb up a bit in the chart, judging from the reviews I've read so far. Seemed like he opened some eyes, dropped some more jaws, and prized open a few purses/wallets out there!?!

I agree with Libby too, am sure the BDS boys will climb again once the gigs start rolling again.

I have nothing bad to say about any of the artisit's in the top 10. Thrilling to see Sloe Gin creep back up. Where is "You and Me?"...I bet Joe's the only one with 2 CD's on the charts...and maybe 3 by the end of the year!!

Bill..Michael is a monster on the guitar, and a sweetie in person. Bob (Tarus52) just won a signed MB guitar from Alligator records!!                    Cathy
