A New Day Now (20th Anniversary Edition)
Review by Gary Hill
This is an intriguing disc. It's a re-master of Joe Bonamassa's first album.

Black Rock
Review by Mark Johnson

A much harder and heavier album than The Ballad of John Henry, the blues really shines on this album.

British Blues Explosion Live
Review by Gary Hill
There is no question that Joe Bonamassa was heavily influenced by the British Blues Movement. It could be argued, though, that the movement was one of the biggest influences on popular music in the last 70 years or so.

Review by Gary Hill
This new live album finds Joe Bonamassa playing tribute to the three Kings of the blues, Freddie, Albert and the one true king BB.

Live At The Sydney Opera House
Review by Gary Hill

When you dig into an album by Joe Bonamassa, you have a good idea what you are going to get. His brand of blues and rock is pretty well established.

Review by Gary Hill
I reviewed the video version of this album in the previous issue of Music Street Journal and promised the CD review for this time around.

Redemption
Review by Gary Hill
This is the brand new release from Joe Bonamassa, and he's outdone himself. While I can't say that I've heard every album he's done, I've followed his career quite a bit.

Royal Tea
Review by Gary Hill
This new album from Joe Bonamassa might be his best release to date. The opening track, which definitely leans toward progressive rock in a big way, could well be the best song he's ever done, too.

The Ballad of John Henry
Review by Mark Johnson

This has a great sampling of guitar blues/rock classics mixed with Joe Bonamassa’s original songs.

Time Clocks
Review by Gary Hill
I really have to preface this review with a little bit of a rant about music and fandom in general.

Joe Bonamassa - British Blues Invasion Live BluRay
Review by Gary Hill
After  a short bit of documentary that outlines the British blues movement of the 1960s we’re taken into the concert to continue. It is immediately apparent just how good Joe Bonamassa and his band are as they tear through the opening instrumental medley.

Joe Bonamassa - Live At The Greek Theatre DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I previously reviewed the audio set of this concert. As good as that was (and it was very good), this is so much better.

Joe Bonamassa - Now Serving: Royal Tea: Live From The Ryman DVD
Review by Gary Hill
The brilliant Royal Tea album that came from Joe Bonamassa last year was a victim of bad timing.

Don Airey - All Out
Review by Larry Toering

Following up his last release seemed to be a fairly swift effort, but it was a good idea for Don Airey, as this one is a little more up my alley.

Review by Gary Hill
I was under the impression that Guy King was a blues guitarist. That is one part of his picture. He's also a jazz musician, though.

Black Country Communion - Live Over Europe BluRay
Review by Larry Toering

Since Black Country Communion arrived on the scene, still less than a year ago, they have managed two studio CD releases, and to top it off they have produced what is an absolute state of the art video, and it's tailor made for the Blu-ray experience.
