I can describe the latest release from Pop sensation Joe Bonamassa for you with just one word… Outstanding! I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Blues Deluxe. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Bonamassa on several of the tracks. Artists like Jon Paris and Benny Harrison just to name a couple.
Overall Blues Deluxe is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Pop fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Man Of Many Words, track 6 - I Don't Live Anywhere, and track 7 - Wild About You Baby.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is You Upset Me, Baby. Wow!
