Sloe Gin
Voted by Guitar Player readers as 2007's Best Blues Guitarist, blues-rock guitar virtuoso, vocalist, and songwriter JOE BONAMASSA is set to release his seventh solo album, SLOE GIN, on August 21, 2007. Bonamassa's fourth release, the disc re-teams him with producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Satriani, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Leppelin), who produced 2006's YOU & ME, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Blues Chart in June of last year.
SLOE GIN effortlessly ranges through heavy blues and acoustic numbers alike, a textured flow that Bonamassa says was in part inspired by Rod Stewart's legendary 1969 debut solo LP. In the liner notes, Joe adds, "I sequenced the album as a throwback to the side A/side B set-up of vinyl records...listening to an album as a whole is a lost pastime. i wanted to bring that experience back around.
Renowned for this fluid phrasing and post-modern fusion of traditional roots blues with rock and roll guts, Bonamassa began playing guitar at age four, and toured with blues icon B.B. King when he was twelve. Recently, Joe was named Best Blues Guitarist in Guitar Magazine's 2007 Reader's Choice Awards. He is also the youngest member of the Memphis, TN-based Blues Foundation's Board of Directors, and a spokesperson for their respected Blues in the Schools Program. more

After you see his live dvd's, its hard to give this 5 stars when you know he is capable of so much more.

- 1st exposure to Joe Bonamassa **WOW what a talent***
In my opinion this album is very deserving of the praise. Perhaps the difference is that I am an eclectic listener and not locked into any particular genre when it comes to music. I like everything from heavy metal, like Metallica, to...

If you love rock and roll and blues rock in particular - you have got to get anything by this guy. After you listen to the audio cd get the dvd "Live at Rock Palace".

- Disappointed Fan
First of all, I'm a huge JB fan, own everything he's put out, and even pre-ordered Sloe Gin before its release, based on hearing the title song performed earlier this year at the Birchmere (where I used go to see Danny Gatton)....
