JOE BONAMASSA – Driving Towards The Daylight

Recorded at Studio At The Palms in Las Vegas, The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, and The Cave in Malibu; Driving Towards The Daylight is a balanced, back-to-basics album that highlights Bonamassa’s signature style of roots blues with rock-and-roll guts, while honoring the traditions of the original blues musicians.
‘We’ve taken some really traditional old blues songs – the Howlin’ Wolf song ‘Who’s Been Talkin’?’ and the Robert Johnson song ‘Stones In My Passway,’ and we’ve tried to imagine how they would do them in a rock context,’ said Shirley. ‘It’s a very exciting return to the blues in a very visceral way. It’s vibrant and it’s gutsy and it’s really, really rugged.’

ANDERS OSBORNE – Black Eye Galaxy

A genuine triple-threat guitarist, singer and songwriter, Anders returns with Black Eye Galaxy, produced along with engineer Warren Riker and Galactic’s Stanton Moore. Sounds on the album range from heavy electric mayhem to joyous acoustic melodicism. This is a journey of sorts moving from the uncontrolled, primal chaos of ‘Send Me A Friend’ to the inner peace of ‘Higher Ground.’ The gentle ‘When Will I See You Again?’ finds Anders rebuilding broken relations, while the feral and confrontational ‘Black Tar’ says farewell to a dark past.
‘Anders Osborne blows my mind. His singing is so great; his guitar playing is so intense. He’s my favorite guy out there these days.’
- Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars)

BETH HART & JOE BONAMASSA – Don’t Explain

One of music’s most powerful female voices and one of the world’s greatest guitar players come together on the new album Don’t Explain, featuring soulful covers that both celebrate and rethink the original recordings. Each known for their potent and expressive blues-rock sounds, Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa deliver scorching versions of ten classic songs first made famous by artists including Billie Holiday, Etta James, Tom Waits, Ray Charles, Delaney & Bonnie, Bill Withers, and Aretha Franklin.
The album was recorded live in the studio over the course of four days in early 2011, with producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes) capturing the raw energy generated by Hart and Bonamassa’s spirited collaboration. As charged as the tracks are, Hart also colors her interpretations with tenderness and vulnerability, adding nuance in equal measure to passion.
