Joe has a fantastic rock supergroup with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian. It's called Black Country Communion (named after the coal mining region Glenn and Jason were raised in in the UK). They broke up for awhile but they're back together now but it's pretty much a side project for all involved now (Glenn just joined The Dead Daisies). Joe and Glenn both share vocals in BCC and honestly their music is a fantastic throwback to 60s-70s hard rock. The song The Battle for Hadrian's Wall has Joe on vocals and it's just stunning. Hopefully the new CD scheduled for 2021 actually comes out but it's late already due to the health situation out there.

[@garywillingham3644]

Glad to hear they are picking together again I love the DVD LIve Over Europe Hopefully they can all put away their egos and tour what a fun show to see

@@garywillingham3644 I fully agree with you. After seeing the latest work from both Glenn (in the Dead Daisies) and Joe (solo online) I think both may have found a happy return to their past loves of music. Both seem to be just as good as they were in their prime peak years.

@@richardstoddard9111. You are right. Joe was gifted the guitar from the late Albert Kings estate. Look closely and you will see Albert’s name, rather faded, on the fret board. It wasn’t even necessary to change the nut at the end of the neck, as Albert, although he played left handed, the guitar was strung for a right handed player. Good job Albert didn’t have to play conventional chords with that set up, but it didn’t prevent him from playing incredible guitar.

Playing Albert King’s Flying V guitar ‘Lucy’. Upside down of course!

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

You might recognise the keyboard player as Reese Wynans from Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band

[@davidbreazeale7257]

Jamel, you should check out "Redemption" from Joe. Do the official version.

[@JCB-bc1lb]

Please review "Midnight Blues" by him. Hauntingly stimulating 👍

[@daxmojones9025]

Ok since we doin this.... check out Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

[@marielaveau5321]

YES!! An insanely talented young dude, he's a friend of my son's. Both Mississippi boys. 🥰💜💚💛✌️

Thanks Jamel, first time I’ve seen a reaction for Joe Bonamassa, this was a tribute tour to blues guitarists BB King, who Joe opened for when he was 13, Freddy King and Albert King. Keyboardist is Reece Wynans who played with SRV. Highly recommend Drive, How Deep This River Runs or What Would I Do, plus about 100 other songs.

[@gbcrowne271]

Glad you reacted to this Jamel! Joe is one of the most relevant blues performers around!!! 🎸

[@inertiallychallenged]

I first heard this song on Albert King's record album..."Live Wire Blues Power". If you like blues music, it is a must listen to.

[@jlhilbert1]

Saw Joe when his band was a 3 piece and he was setting up his own equipment. He’s come a long way since 2004.

[@michaelangelo1955]

Also , the lead back up singer is Mahalia Barnes. Check out Lazy with Joe B and her father Jimmy Barnes. One if the best things you'll ever hete start to finish!

billy strings, dust in a baggie

Billy Stings & Marcus King

If we're talking blues, I'd love an Albert Collins reaction video. His band the Ice Breakers were funky as heck.

[@theninja001]

More Joe! His guitar playing is insane, and great singing! I recommend “So Many Roads”

[@poemdog1125]

Since you've listened to this version, you may as well go ahead and listen to the original Albert King I'll Play the Blues for You. Lost of folks have tried to play this song but Albert's is the best in my opinion.

[@mowergal9776]

Another great guitarists! Love it when Joe does his Blues songs OMG!

[@j.l.armendariz1483]

The organ player in Rock in Roll hall of fame with Double Trouble,Stevie Ray Vaughn band.😎

[@buckeyeman7631]

Check out "Black Lung Heartache" by Joe....you'll love it, maybe do a review on it too?

[@jonmolnar5440]

You outta try his cover of Zeppelin's "tea for one." Maximum stank face.

[@michaelschleifer3820]

Reese is always great and Joe brings everyone in the band together; great wind section

[@arcangel6]

He is actually using the great bluesman Albert King's guitar. His name is written on he fingerboard.

[@stevehood8617]

Hey Jamal, has anyone recommend Don McLean, American Pie?

[@deeohgee4574]

Would love to see your reaction to the "Live at Carnegie Hall" show...will you an idea of Joe's acoustic talents...

[@alanhembra2565]

Please do “Bleached Blonde Bottle Blues” by Larkin’ Poe. They’re sisters with slide guitar solos.

[@donnachristian9567]

So I checked them out when I saw this comment. Thank you for turning me on to these ladies!♥️

[@MrNatev715]

This song is great. Such a great jam.

[@geoffbold3168]

Jamel, you will love Larking Poe. You’ll recognize them from the Playing for Change the Weight video. They have played with Joe, here’s the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4ilmJKui9aHlZY
