BLACK ROCK is an album by the American blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. It was recorded at Black Rock Studios in the Greek island of Santorini and it was released worldwide on 23rd March 2010. BLACK ROCK was recorded at Black Rock Studios and named for this studio. On the album, Bonamassa enlisted the help of some of the best Greek musicians to add a little flavor to a couple of the tracks. Joe also signed up Blues legend B.B. King for a duet on a rendition of the Willie Nelson-penned song, ''Night Life''. After the highly successful 2009 release, The Ballad Of John Henry, Joe Bonamassa is back at it again. He doesn’t disappoint. Bonamassa does it all in BLACK ROCK from blues to rock to world music. As guitar heroes go, Joe Bonamassa is something of a talented oddity. He's a one-time child prodigy who opened for his admirer B.B. King when he was just twenty years old, he's a massive fan of blues-influenced British rockers from the 70s, and he's now developing an interest in wider global styles. The result is a wildly varied album that includes reminders of all the above, but is too often dominated by predictable blues-rock riffs and bursts of rapid-fire solo work. When he switches to the blues, he shows off the variety in his playing. Collaborations with Greek musicians include a guitar-and-bouzouki blues, the self-composed ''Athens To Athens'', and a drifting, Mediterranean treatment of Leonard Cohen's ''Bird On A Wire'', featuring wailing Greek clarino. One of the great things about Bonamassa is nearly all his albums can be played from start to finish without skipping a track. It’s a great album and probably his second best to date behind The Ballad Of John Henry. It will be intriguing to see where he goes next.

It’s a sign of Joe Bonamassa’s increasing profile that he got blues legend B.B. King to guest on his eighth album BLACK ROCK. Joe Bonamassa doesn’t tinker with his formula here, retaining a little of the folky undertow of The Ballad Of John Henry, but with its remaining roots in a thick, heavy blues-rock more redolent of ‘60s London than the ‘50s Delta. Of course, Bonamassa has never shied away from his love of Brit-blues, even underscoring it with a good streamlined cover of Jeff Beck’s “Spanish Boots”, but he retains a healthy respect for all manners of classic blues, kicking out a Chicago groove on a cover of Otis Rush’s “Three Times A Fool”, reaching back to Blind Boy Fuller for “Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind” and ably replicating B.B. King’s latter-day soul groove on a horn-smacked cover of Willie Nelson’s “Night Life”. Bonamassa has an ear for non-blues writers too, cherrypicking Leonard Cohen’s “Bird On A Wire” and John Hiatt’s “I Know A Place”, tying it all together with beefy lead lines, but the provocative moments on BLACK ROCK are all self-penned, whether it’s the clattering stomp “When The Fire Hits The Sea”, the British folk lilt of “Quarryman’s Lament” and “Athens To Athens”, or the droning dramatic epic “Blue And Evil”. These are easily the most intriguing songs here, suggesting Bonamassa realizes that the familiar covers allow him to stretch out elsewhere, and while it might be interesting hearing him follow this path for a full album, what’s here on BLACK ROCK is both satisfying and admirably, if reservedly, ambitious.
