Another great reaction.

One of the things joe does is take young and struggling singers on tour with him to help them get there name out there . He learned that from BB

[@RedDawnRocker]

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

[@RedDawnRocker]

@@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.

The original album by Albert " I'll play the Blues for you" was one of my favorites. Joe did a tribute to Albert at the Greek and all the cuts are fantastic.

Smokin Joe ! His singing is underrated imo . Great reaction , great video, thanks Jamal

[@sonoftherabbitpeople4737]

This is an old Albert King song, hence his choice of guitar. Albert King is one of the three Kings of the Blues...BB (of course), Albert, and Freddie. All are worth your time checking out.

Four Kings in a deck...New Orleans, late great, Earl King. Even Jimi Hendrix covered him, Ronnie Earl changed his last name in his honour. The man was also a incredible songwriter.

[@sonoftherabbitpeople4737]

@@loilt5091 Yes, I know about Earl too. I don't consider him to be quite in the league of the other gentlemen, though he was certainly very good. Just my opinion though, I mean no offense.

[@savannahbos6343]

Well thank you Jamal I've never heard this song before and I'm so glad that you played it.... I love this thank you..

[@Respecttheriff]

Check out Joe on ‘Sloe Gin’ or ‘Ballad of John Henry’

[@waynepurcell6058]

Ballad of John Henry is the "heaviest" blues riff I have ever heard. That song is awesome.

[@j.a.reynolds3632]

Awesome reaction & great content Jamal! Joe is one of the best live performers on the planet. Always high quality sound & production value with no frills! 🔥

Everything about JB is underrated. You'll never hear him on the radio, but his stadium shows are standing room only.

[@patclark3024]

At the Fox theater in Atlanta!

Joe was a child prodigy and opened for the great BB King at the age of 13 years of age. Love your musical style and your knowledge of some of the greatest music ever made. Keep up the good work and your passion for music my friend. Check out Blue and evil by Joe Bonamassa.

Is his singing underrated? He's underrated all around.

[@sherryramirez6329]

[@rayskocaj8499]

[@roymoore3156]

Joes humility has exposed the world to Soo many great younger artists! Thanks Joe!

[@stevious7278]

Man, you oughta hear Joe and the fantastic Beth Hart do the Etta James number "I'd Rather Go Blind"...Mmm-Mmm. That is some fine stuff right there!

[@garywillingham3644]

he has reacted to it already

[@stevious7278]

@@garywillingham3644 Oh. I didn't know. thanks.

[@obryapgmail]

Been to several Bonamassa concerts. Not only is he extremely talented, he always fills the stage with incredible talented musicians. "The River" is one of my favorites, but there are too many to name.

[@jasonmurray1812]

Joe Bonamassa "Stop" or "Driving towards the daylight" for the Marines.

[@cheryljackson5659]

Man, have you ever heard something that you didn't know you really NEEDED? This cut by Joe Bonamassa did it for me. I've seen him on PBS before, but this song made me really want to hear more. Fantastic blues guitarist and his voice reminds me of another favorite, Boz Skaggs! JB and Jamel: Thanks, I needed that!
