“Right now, there’s no better blues-rock artist than Bonamassa,” Gibson.com recently noted in their article “Five New Blues Guitar Releases To Blow Your Mind.” Joe Bonamassa’s Billboard #1 Blues masterpiece Sloe Gin was named as one of them, in addition to being cited as one of Gibson's Best Blues Albums of 2007. Early 2008 has also brought new praise to Joe including being named "Best Blues Guitarist" from Guitar Player Magazine's Readers Choice, for the second consecutive year. On the heels of this success,
Bonamassa will release FROM NOWHERE IN PARTICULAR, a 2-CD live album recorded during his epic fall 2007 U.S. tour, on August 19, 2008.
