DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE is the eleventh studio album by blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. It was released on 22nd September 2014. Okay, by now you know who Joe Bonamassa is. The blues titan has gone from “the greatest guitar player no one has ever heard of” to the Number One guitar player in the world. Joe Bonamassa’s reputation precedes him, and will continue to do so for life. His lust for the blues comes through full force in his solo work. His versatility is proven in the side projects he’s championed through the years. DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE is just the next notch on his bluesy belt. He is able to channel the soul and spirit of the genre like no other in today’s market. This album is Joe’s effort to bring the fans an album from scratch, if you will. He wrote and composed all the tracks, with the help of studio companion and producer Kevin Shirley. Joe is able to take the influences he has mastered, and transform them into a fresh and vibrant original work. The album features all the keys to the blues, including a lot of keys, among trumpet, backing harmonies and that suave guitar. The blues wunderkind has set out to create something raw and new, something his fans can grab a hold of, and something he can call it his own. Joe succeeds in composing yet another kickass compilation set to drive the crowd wild. His arsenal is ever growing, and it’s inspiring to see him set his eyes on a new challenge, and better yet, see it shine.

Joe Bonamassa has moved far past his initial incarnation as a kid guitar wiz with a Stevie Ray Vaughan fascination, and has developed into an elegantly reverent guitarist and a fine singer as well, bringing a little R&B blue-eyed soul to the blues. For DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE, Bonamassa co-wrote songs with veteran Nashville songwriters Jeffrey Steele, Gary Nicholson, James House, Jerry Flowers, and Jonathan Cain, then took eleven of the songs and tracked them in Las Vegas at Studio At The Palms with a solid band of studio musicians. Bonamassa used twenty different vintage guitars for the project, along with thirteen different amps, and lists each one in the liner notes. Consequently, this is an album about guitar tones, as each song demands its own and Bonamassa empties the tool kit. The best songs here, like the poppy and R&B-laced, the hard-driving honky tonk blues, a slice of horn-driven garage blues, are vintage Bonamassa, blending all of his influences, from Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Rory Gallagher to Jimi Hendrix and Hank Garland. The clear highlight here, and undoubtedly already or soon to be a high point of Bonamassa's live shows, is the stately and powerful "Oh Beautiful!", which alternates between hushed vocals and slashing, soaring electric guitar breaks, a sort of 21st Century version of Blind Willie Johnson adorned with tone washes and blistering guitar. It's a striking and timeless recording, and a great blues song by anyone's standards. The problem here, though, is that the songs on DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE shade toward the generic side of things, and no matter how wonderful and gorgeous the guitar tones may be, it's hard to make a generic song sing memorably.
