New to the Blues... this is an excellent start to your collection. Really great blues guitar work. If you like the slow blues rhythm and "slow hand" licks you will like this album. When I first listened to Dust Bowl I knew I had to have it.
Joe Bonamassa has ability to play any style he wants,and has went about doing so for much of his solo work ,lately more toward the blues.I personaly like this style so no complaints about this mode he is in.I LOVE the black country communion,the 1 cut on this album with Glen Hughes is my favorite as well as the 2 with Vince Gill.John Hiatt makes an special guest aperance also.
This is a solid blues/rock album, his best since The Ballad Of John Henry
Joe is still one of the best blues guitarists to come along since Stevie Ray Vaughn. I do wish he would rock more though like he used to on his earlier albums. Dust Bowl is a heavy, slow blues album lacking the life of his earlier work. He needs to get the spark and energy he had on his eariler albums. Heavy blues is great in small doses.
Fantastic guitar prodigy brings blues and rock together in a soulful way. Is there a better guitar player out there ?
