An ode to Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart

If music be the food of love, play on….

Music is one of those things that reflects your feelings, moods and the moment. Whether you are at work, out at a bar or club, at home working or chilling, even exercising, we all have a soundtrack we choose to listen to. Tastes in music also change and develop with us. This is a good thing, you can enjoy and remember the memories evoked by the tunes you listened to and you can create new memories as you start to enjoy a new genre…. Life would be dull if we stood still, thus as music evolves so do we. A duo that have been going a long time, but are new to me are Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart

A combination that gets my seal of approval…… When it comes to music and especially the blues, these pair separately and together have it all. 😀

Joe Bonamassa plays the blues (plus Rock and Soul) and in a band formation played with, amongst others, the son of John Bonham (drummer Led Zeppelin) Together there is a distinct Led Zeppelin groove brought right up to date.

Beth Harts voice is reticent of Janis Joplin, she has a gutsy blues voice that is both amazing and awe-inspiring….Her influences include rock, blues, gospel, jazz and classical. Described as a storyteller…..

Damn that girl can tell me stories all night long 🙂

Put the two together and BAM….. A dynamic introduction to the Blues players of today.

Both American, both emerged out of shadows that was the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Joe a guitarist and  Beth a pianist, together they still got the blues.

They worked together on a track for his Album “Dust Bowl” (march 2011) and worked together on an entire album of blues classics together, entitled “Don’t Explain” (sept 2011)

 

They both have a catalogue of albums reflecting their love of music and have worked with an array of musicians to give their music that special something else.
I highly recommend you go have a listen….whether separately or to their collaborations, you might just find a new type of music to love, or rediscover that you still got the blues 😀
