Hart Beth & Joe Bonamassa: Live in Amsterdam -14 [2 CD]

Det går inte alltid som planerat... Johnny spelade in en ny skiva, kanske hans bästa sedan sjuttiotalet. Han bad vänner gästa honom och alla kom! Brian Setzer kom, Ben Harper likså,<br/>liksom Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Dt John, Joe Perry, Leslie West, Billy Gibbons... Turné bokades - allt var frid noch fröjd - men sedan händer det. Rocklivet tog olustigt slut för Johnny 16e juli. Detta var tänkte som den stora comebacken. Nu blev det ett postumt mästerverk.

From the first time Walter Trout, as a tormented teenager, heard the haunting guitar playing of Mike Bloomfield, he instinctively knew the blues was his calling. 2014 marks the year Walter Trout looks back at an almost 50-year commitment to playing and singing the blues. "The Blues Came Callin" will be released worldwide on Monday June 2..The songs on the album reflect Walter's thoughts about mortality and his renewed appreciation for being alive<br/><br/>Recorded throughout 2013 and early 2014, the new album features 12 new songs including 10 originals. Walter reunites with John Mayall on the title track The Blues Came Callin' along with Mayall's Piano Boogie. Walter searches his soul on this album and lays it bare allowing new appreciation for life. The blues comes full circle; both as a reflective statement about his life and career, and as an all-penetrating desire to get back on stage and do what he loves most.

Blues-rock star Joe Bonamassa will release Tour De Force - Live In London 2-CD and 3-LP on Provogue Records (a division of Mascot Label Group), an unprecedented live concert event recorded in 2013 at four iconic London venues which he has previously played: The Borderline, Shepherd's Bush Empire, Hammersmith Apollo, and the Royal Albert Hall. <br/>The sold-out concerts, which saw over 12.000 fans in attendance, chronicle Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Every individual evening was marked by a particular theme - his early trio years, the blues, rock and roll, and an all encompassing set at the Albert Hall - and every setlist, arrangement and ensemble was designed to fit in with the evening's prescribed theme providing the viewer with four different and unique performances. Each corresponding disc in the set features a different selection from over 60 songs played from his extensive catalogue - some having never been performed live - with a different and unique band configuration to highlight the diverse elements of Bonamassa's style. <br/><br/>About the Shepherd's Bush Empire show: At his heart Joe Bonamassa is a blues player and it was for this evening at Shepherd's Bush Empire that he elected to put on a display highlighting his true love of the genre. Backed by a full horn section, Bonamassa rolled through blues-tinged stalwarts from his vast collection.
