Joe Bonamassa - Different Shades of Blue (2014) mp3@320{1337x}-kawli

Grammy-nominated guitarist Joe Bonamassa's new album Different Shades Of Blue is Bonamassa’s first studio album in two years and the first album of his career to feature all original material. The result is a record with more of an experimental edge than previous Bonamassa records. It’s a blues record that explores the outer reaches and the many different sounds that shape the genre.

There are few blues-rockers today who are as consistent as Joe Bonamassa but sometimes consistency can lead to stagnation. To outdo himself and push his art forward with the bar already set pretty high, Bonamassa left his long-standing template of mixing in covers with originals and had a hand in writing every track for his next album, Different Shades of Blue. But instead of writing the songs on his own, he partnered in Nashville with established composers like James House who’s written hit tunes for Diamond Rio, Dwight Yoakam and Martina McBride, as well as Jerry Flowers, known for penning tunes for Keith Urban.

Kevin Shirley is on board as producer as he’s been for the prior fifteen Bonamassa albums and he declares Different Shades of Blue his “favorite Joe Bonamassa record to date.” Like the title of the album and the deeply soulful song of the same name, this new batch of songs points up the fact that the blues does come in so many different shades. And all of it is good.
