I was fortunate enough to meet Reese at a hotel bar after a JB gig a few years ago. He was a genuinely lovely guy who took the time to have a (borderline) lengthy conversation with me about his career and passion for music. Such a humble superstar of a man and to take the time to do that after hours of slapping the keys was an absolute privilege. What a legend.

[@DanaGuerra-r8l]

This performance and this song is the first I had seen /heard of Joe Bonamassa.. I sat there mesmerized by this man and his music.. so moving and I’ve been hooked ever since! Love him ♥️🎶

[@andrewlowe9969]

Joe is one amazing guitarist. He was a child prodigy and his genius shows in all his playing. One of the best to carry on the legacy of the Blues into the future. We need more artists like Joe and this stuff should be mainstream radio displacing most of the garbage cookie cutter pop tunes that are more noise than music. The Blues have soul and purpose and bring people together no matter their background. It's intellectually stimulating too.

[@Utube-s8m]

He’d been playing since he was a kid. There’s vhs learning tapes now on utube. It took him yrs slow and hard work to become well known. I think touring relentlessly and when he went to the UK something changed. He did the Royal Albert Hall dvd and was on the cover of Guitarist magazine. He put out the Royal Albert Hall dvd and that set things in motion. I have that dvd but tbh I like this one better. FYI that’s Kirk Fletcher playing rhythm. He’s a top notch player himself. That’s Stevie Ray Vaughan’s keyboard player.

[@rosiekitties]

you have to see him in concert i just seen him two nights ago it was the best performance i've ever seen and i have seen alot.
