LIVE FROM THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL is the fourth live album by American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. Recorded on 4th May 2009, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, it was released on 22nd September 2009 by J&R Adventures. Joe Bonamassa was opening for B.B. King when he was only eight years old and was a veteran of the road and gigging by the time he was twelve, so it’s tempting to toss him in the trash, but that would be a big mistake. Bonamassa has soul, plenty of it, and he plays guitar with a reverent grace, and sometimes lost in all this is that he’s a pretty good singer, too. His stunning headline show from the Royal Albert Hall, which featured guest spots by Eric Clapton and Paul Jones, was released also on DVD, but this two-disc set marks the first official release of the concert as an album in and of itself. Bonamassa is the real deal, and tracks here show a musician, one who has learned that a guitar lead should serve the song and not the other way around. There is nothing better than hearing him live. The nineteen song set list does include a few songs not on any of Bonamassa’s studio albums such as “Just Got Paid”, which is also on Live From Nowhere In Particular. The other track is “Further On Up The Road” featuring Eric Clapton, which is fantastic. All the other tracks you can find on other Bonamassa albums. Hearing Joe and Clapton rock out on the same track is worth the price of the album itself.

Organic, as a wildfire, Joe Bonamassa has become a hugely popular artist, particularly in the UK. Paul Jones has given him generous exposure on his Radio 2 show, a fact acknowledged from the stage of London's Royal Albert Hall. Paul Jones to blow hard harmonica through ''Your Funeral My Trial''. There's also the matter of another major guest player. Eric Clapton joins Bonamassa for an axe-duel during ''Further On Up The Road''. Amidst the ensuing rollin' and tumblin', it's kinda hard to tell them apart as they scorch up the stage. Joe astutely maintains the blues-purity elements of his sound, at the same time as courting a more mainline rock-anthem grandeur. He reaches two distinct crowds, capitalising on the fact that these camps frequently overlap in their tastes. ''Django''... the sun rising as a flock of Harleys moves out across the Arizona endlessness. Or maybe a lone rocker lies hunched over a bar, flagon clutched in his oily talons. No fretting, as ''The Ballad Of John Henry'' soon tramples all such reveries underfoot with its sludge rockin' momentum. There's a Kashmir lumbering that's only the first of Bonamassa's recurring Led Zeppelin motifs. ''Last Kiss'' has a trundling pulse, then ''So Many Roads'' is a prime example of Bonamassa's high, soulful vocal delivery, borne on waves of excess, as the twin drums pummel alongside surging keyboards and a punchy three-piece horn section. ''Sloe Gin'', which has become Bonamassa's signature slowie, massed cigarette lighters held aloft. Disc two gushes with much the same alternation of moods. The spiralling guitar solos continue, the horns hit hard, and the riffing maintains an unstoppable forward motion. Bonamassa deftly shunts between cathartic blow-outs and sensitive washes of melodic emotion. And this is the key to his success.
