*Disclaimer* For those offended by my use of, “white boy”… Hear me out… IN THE SOUTH, while we do say sir/ma’am (formally) as a sign of respect. The use of boy/girl (informal) in certain context, is NOT offensive. “White boy” in this context was intended and used in a complimentary fashion like the Wild Cherry song, “Play that funky music white boy”. For example: There could be a 50 year old man playing the piano at church and someone will say, “That boy know he can play!” That man could be black, white, yellow, or orange. The same for women, “girl, those shoes are cute!” And you could be damn near 40. In New Orleans they say baby, doesn’t mean you’re a baby. In Georgia we say Chile doesn’t mean you’re a child. I get it, some people don’t like it. It’s a term of endearment, it’s part of the culture! This is why I hate the internet but love it at the same time. For the people who misconstrued my intentions, bless your hearts. I love the song, I love the blues, and I love you who continue to help us discover artists who are keeping our AMERICAN CULTURE alive! In this world, there seems to be a lot of things that divides us. Music is one of those things that can bring us together. DESPITE our differences. So please stop throwing the “R” word around or intentionally trying to offend me because you are offended. Thank you, -Management

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

It may be because I'm from the south myself but I knew exactly what you meant, you shouldn't have to explain yourself on your own damn channel. Anyone who was offended with anything you said clearly wasn't paying attention, keep doing you! Great reaction.

[@davidd5407]

Don't get twisted about it, man Those of us with common sense and a tough inner core? We get you and we are fine. Those who don't possess the above? No room for them in a lucid world.

[@danzusername]

No worries, T !

[@rebeccaarseneaux6474]

I'm 68 years old. Growing up (in the south) we were taught to have a backbone, and thick skin. If you aren't bleeding, shake it off, get up, and get on with your life. Sadly, this iway of life will die with my generation.

[@soulcrusher0357]

I'm a "white boy" and it's ridiculous you feel you have to explain anything. People are so damn sensitive! Keep doin what you doin and the real ones will keep watching. Much love from SC.

[@michaelrocker9000]

Joe Bonamassa is a blues man and trying to keep the Blues alive. He started his career at age 12, when he opened for B.B. King.

[@TheBarkinFrog]

He started his career before age 12. That's how B.B. King found out about him, heard him play, and hired him as an opening act. He was playing with Danny Gatton at the age of 11.

[@goldenruletv7301]

Joe's dad, who also played guitar, said Joe could outplay him by the age of 7.

[@rebeccaarseneaux6474]

Joe's collaborations with Beth Hart are amazing. He's been playing since he was a child.

[@redzone77p]

Joe has quite a catalog, one of the best blues guitar players today....an incredible talent.

[@debratroeak77]

My husband and I go to Joe Bonamassa’s concerts every time he comes to Long Beach and it truly is a treat, he is a truly amazing musician!

[@cynthiacampbell7433]

The guy playing the keys is Reese Wyans SRVs key player.

[@keith6485]

Reese is a beast! We just saw them last November, and Reese can still bring the house down!

[@richdiddens4059]

Joe is a complete guitar nerd. His collection of rare and historic guitars is incredible. The one in this video, I believe, belonged to Albert King, the late blues legend. It's probably worth more than my house.

[@alesiaking5578]

Yes, that's the guitar Albert used in his session with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@darkmage212]

@@alesiaking5578it’s also a loaner if I remember correctly. Steven Segual owns that piece of history right there and loaned it to Joe B for his 3 Kings tour.

[@classiclife7204]

The blues is alive and well when it sounds this good. Bonamassa and his musicians and singers here are elite pros. Whew!

[@pamagnolia]

Fabulous performance by a master musician!! Loved this!! Thanks Tasha!!! 😊

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@peggypatterson5656]

Nothing compares to his live performances! If you ever get a chance to experience him live, don't miss it!

[@lynnborsa7201]

I’m going to see him live in November and I can’t wait

[@timothynelms2683]

It's nice to see you reacting to Joe Bonamassa, he is a guitar prodigy and singer. He was touring and opening for BB King when he was twelve years old

[@glennburch1081]

He is one of the few greats that is still playing. If he tours near you I highly recommend you go and see him. Saw him for the first time last year in Virginia Beach..... the man is a beast on the guitar. He has 15 studio albums and a lot of great work amongst them. You can't go wrong with these: You Upset me Baby, What I've Known for a Very Long time, I Gave up Everything 4 u, Trouble Town, Just Cause u Can Don't Mean u Should, and Redemption are some of my favorites.I enjoyed your reaction,TY.

[@goldenruletv7301]

The man doesn't have a bad song, nor does Beth Hart. Together they're magic.

[@ronaldminissali-ib3gu]

Live at the Greek Theatre Every song is awesome

[@cynthiacampbell7433]

He plays with a lot of artists who are all amazing.

[@tomatolady11]

Have seen Joe live in concert twice in very small venues. UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE.

[@michaelleftwich8186]

I wonder if this show is on CD.I'd go out and get it right now.

[@MasterTapes1960]

Joe's cover of Led Zeppelin's Tea For One is absolutely ridiculously awesome.

[@sixslinger9951]

Joe is the man. and his world class musicians he has with him are equally as talented.

[@alesiaking5578]

Good to see Reese Wynans from SRV playing those keys.

[@davidd5407]

Bonamassa is worth the price of admission. Large catalog of polished soulful guitar work

[@metalmark1214]

A great guitarist. He reminds me of Frank Marino but even more bluesy.

[@micko11154]

Mmmmmm ..... proper music!!! Cheers and thanks!

[@jimwhite3719]

Please react to Beth and Joe live in Amsterdam...singing "I'd Rather Go Blind".

[@lazaruslong6382]

Oh,MY!!!!!!!!

[@Rick-or2kq]

His father owned music store started him playing at 4, now by the time he was 7, his father said he could out play him.. The story I heard was BB King saw Joe play when he was 11 and took him on tour with him.

[@descendantoffools9767]

Joe Bonamassa and Eric Clapton - Further On Up The Road live is amazing!

[@cynthiacampbell7433]

Check out The Ballad of John Henry. With Eric Gayles. 2019 Keeping the Blues alive cruise.

[@cynthiacampbell7433]

Love this Tasha. The man is AMAZING. You should go down the rabbit whole. You won't regret it lol

[@monolit73]

A few words about Nightwish (Floor Jansen), Dimash and more. Alan Dean Foster, the famous American fantasy and science fiction writer who applied his writing talent to such hits as Star Wars and Star Trek, maintains a music section on his blog. "There are many good singers, fewer great singers, and a very small number who are unique singers. Diana is a natural dramatic contralto. This is the lowest range for a female singer. She is also polyphonic. Roughly, this means that when she sings she often sounds like more than one person singing at once. As you can imagine, the combination is extraordinary. So too is her full range. Singers at age 14 can do things that astonish us. Witness the careers of Jordan and the Dutch prodigy Amira Willighagen. But even when included in this company there is something special about Diana. I love the performances of the two singers I just mentioned, but they are (perfectly) controlled and measured. Diana is more akin to a force of nature. One of the most common descriptions of her performances is “shamanistic.” Some of this has to do with the remarkable timbre of her voice, some with the sheer intensity of her performing. In this she is closer to Floor Jansen. With both women you can see as well as hear the intensity, the emotion, contained with both the lyrics and the music. A duet between the two would be something magical. I’m mentioning her now because while she was remarkable at 14(“Rechenka”) and 15 (“Wicked Game”), she just turned 18 and for the past year has been studying at the prestigious Russian Institute of Theatre Arts in Moscow, and those studies have enormously aided her in developing not only her control but her upper register. The Russian music entrepreneur and composer, who has worked extensively with Dimash (another name you should know if you do not), bought her an apartment in Moscow so she could safely further her musical development." I would also like to draw your attention to this young vocalist Diana Ankudinova.

[@monolit73]

Alan Foster writes further:: "Her first two-minute performance on the show (all the initial performances are brief) is of a very dark version of Elvis Presley’s “Can’tHelp Falling in Love.” I’m not sure what you anticipate hearing, but I guarantee it won’t be anything like what you expect. The show’s production values are also outstanding. Two things I noticed immediately when comparing this performance to Diana’s previous ones: first, her control shows the results of ayear’s worth of professional voice training, and second, as she matures her power is becoming fully unleashed. When someone says she blows you away, it carries a literal meaning. " Alan's full article on Diana is posted in my Community section. Best choice from Diana's channel: Can’t Help Falling in Love 4.4 million views 141k likes - total 771 reactions to this performance by Diana. (all added to my playlist)

[@roberthendershott8972]

For a mindblowing experience Joe Bonamassa & Jimmy Barnes Stone Cold🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥💯

[@shortstroke5667]

T you got to check out the song “l’ll take care of you” by Joe Bonamassa & Beth Heart live video performance is Legendary.

[@cmaxwell3515]

My name is Sean pendragon. I am a blues man I have played with some of the best pickers. Joe bonamassa Is by far the top player there is I have yet to play alongside with him . This would be the best experience for me Ever. Honer this incredible man

[@gls3894]

Not only is he playing Albert Kings song, but he is playing Albert Kings song with Albert Kings guitar!!!!! Lucy is the guitars name, loaned to Joe from Steven Seagals collection.

[@marklynn3994]

Check out "This Train" Live at the Sydney Opera House and "I'd Rather go Blind" with Beth Hart live in Amsterdam. Unbelievable performances. Then for a couple of cool studio videos "Redemption" and "Lazy" with Jimmy Barnes. WOW

[@ShadysMyCat]

So great you liked it! Not only is Joe a great blues artist he is in several other bands. One is Rock Candy Funk Party! He plays everthing! ❤❤

[@doltim]

Bonamassa’s delivery is soul to soul.

[@vikiryan822]

Joe can play it all. Rock, blues and yes funk. He's the total package 💙🎸🎶🎤❤️🔥

[@michaellambert5223]

Joes guitar skills are as natural as ur good looks❤️

[@michaelheller8841]

Joe is a class act and a phenomenal guitar player actually of many styles. His guitar teacher used to be the late great Danny Gatton. Blues/Rock is his forte but he can play a lot of other music very well too. The SRV reference is perfect to describe keeping the Blues alive. Same as Slash bringing Rock back. Joe looks like your ordinary Joe until he has a guitar in his hands. Keeping the Blues/Rock music alive he has also put out alot of signature guitars for players to learn or advanced. He is a Geek in a good way lol. As far as The White Boy reference?? I can dig it and no one should be triggered. Keep music alive the language we can all enjoy.

[@alesiaking5578]

Speaking of SRV those keys are being played by his keyboardist Reese Wynans.

[@williamcabell142]

Dear Lady, that’s the blues. Got the name right! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joewiley62]

Check out Dust Bowl by Joe.....cool song.... And Thanks for this one.....

[@michaelleftwich8186]

If you'll notice on the fretboard, there's a name on it. Albert King. This was his guitar.

[@sasu52]

I'm getting pumped to go see Joe next week in concert!!!

[@lazaruslong6382]

Add Beth Hart''s bluesey voice to Joes blusy singing,and you have a genuine winner.

[@lwardjr1]

Joe keeps the blues alive. Tasha, I'm a white boy and not offended, cause it's the way God made me. :)

[@dandehoyos8379]

You gotta hear: Boogie Woogie Woman

[@homertipton2102]

I'm a white guy. From the South. The term "white boy" is NOT offensive, especially in this context. Loved your reaction. Thank you, ma'am!

[@markwilliams5606]

Joe Bonamassa! Carrying on the Blues. Long over Due! 😎🆒🍷

[@mariolevasseur731]

Anyone mention the guitar he's playing? That was the late great Albert King's Gibson Flying V

[@markjohnson-vw6yj]

Joe does play a song on Albert's V but this one isn't. Notice the knobs are on the bottom as is normal for a right hand V. Joe does play Albert's on "I'll play the blues for you". If you source out that video you will see the knobs are on the top and Alberts name engraved on the fret board. Albert V was on loan from Steven Segal.

[@michaelwaller7365]

Please check out any of Joe's "Blues Cruise" videos. He'll have 4-5 blues artists on a cruise ship performing for passengers.

[@allengardner4672]

If you get the opportunity listen to Him and Beth Hart Live in Amsterdam doing a cover of I Rather Go Blind. It will leave you emotional, in tears

[@brucecronin6396]

Great song, great reaction !!

[@MARKB3946]

Awesome. Can't beat Joe.

[@derrickgoodwin4130]

He came out of the womb with a guitar 🎸 in his hands

[@realbser1956]

Yes, Joe B. was a protege of BB King so there’s that. Phunky as phuk!! 😇

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Ms. T., Mr. Joe is a great guitarist.. ♠W.G.

[@anthonyhitchman9789]

There’s not another guitar player in the world that has more guitar solos than this guy. He is 2nd bar none. Otherwise known as the best ❤❤❤❤

[@kristahartmann6712]

Etta James sings this so so good...video of her performance at North Sea Jazz Fest Or just get recorded track. Her band is fantastic..horns on this track are fire.

[@stonephilips9361]

Forget John Goodman. Joe Bonnamassa is the real third Blues Brother

[@paulmulryan9624]

Uh...well, he damn sure is one funky white boy...one funky white boy to another Good choice of vids, Bonamassa is top shelf

[@malcshone4409]

I’m old enough to remember the original version by Bette Midler from about 1973/4! That was good but this is amazing!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Oh wow didn’t know Bette did this originally.

[@malcshone4409]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Think it’s on her second album “ The Divine Miss M”. Not quite as much guitar on her version!!

[@aardvarkusrex]

The original release was by Ann Peebles. It was popularized in the blues community by Albert King.

[@aardvarkusrex]

Bette did not do the original version. It was first released by Ann Peebles, but popularized in the blues community in 1972 with Albert King's version.

[@Rassskle]

If you like blues and great guitar, then I recommend Joe with legendary Australian Wild Man, Jimmy Barnes..... Stone Cold in Love With You, live in the studio. Also their cover of Lazy.

[@Ziggy_MI]

One of the backup singers on this track is Jimmy Barnes daughter Mahalia Barnes

[@Rassskle]

@@Ziggy_MI I thought I spotted Mahalia but I don’t know if this reactor is still on air........ thought I would just throw her a gold plated crumb and see if she responds. lol

[@michaelshelton5488]

If you like Joe Bonnnamassa, you should check out the Cajun blues guitarist/singer Tab Benoit

[@7Taric]

If you are interested not only in talented instrumentalists, but also in outstanding singers, then pay attention to the unique singer from Russia - *Diana* *Ankudinova* . Everyone who heard her for the first time claims that they have never heard such a voice in their life! Check it out!

[@rogerallen3206]

You should check out Joe Bonamassa with Beth Hart doing Tina Turner's Nut bush city limits. I'll bet you'll enjoy the video.

[@lextek.]

Joe is the real deal. He's got tons of great material, a great deal of it live in concert. He tours all over the world. I recommend digging into his material on You Tube. Just had a thought though, here's one cut from an all acoustic concert at the Vienna Opera House that shows off his powerful voice as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHyoZJyqgZl0prs

[@jerrymitchell154]

No offence taken. Loved the "bless their hearts" comment.

[@mikehall3114]

He has the same keyboard player as stevie ray vaughan

[@robertlear2712]

This is cover of the same song by the great Albert King who released it as a single in 1972. Albert King was the greatest blues guitarist of all time.

[@river4837]

Joe's got a black boy guitarist in the band backing him up.

[@thechemistofdiscord9568]

Pick a Flying V, plays Albert King licks... picks up a Les Paul and plays Eric Johnson... the best....

[@petertoal371]

I can't believe anyone would be offended by such a descriptive remark. Say it like it is. Funky as f**k

[@bravowild]

Where I come from colour is never referred to at all .Bonamassa is a blues musician and that's it .The colour of your skin has nothing to do with playing music or how good you are. Customary or not, it is ludicrous to use that in a title in the year 2023 or anytime

[@davidscroggins7728]

You have beautiful skin. More Joe please

[@ckjamn]

I'm white. Being offended never entered my brain. people speak. You can actually tell when someone is gonna fuck up and say something offensive. that is where the rare character references become relevant. There is alway's context. peace . ..

Hey he is white and gets down right funky..like Stevie Ray...the man just gets down...no adult would be offended by your use of that term...Im white and wish I could do that shit...you go girl

[@paul2862]

If you haven't reacted to Joe & Beth Hart's version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3arqIKViqqjbaM), then you're missing out. I saw Etta James do this song live--she was GREAT--but I actually like Joe and Beth's version better.
