Joe Bonamassa Songs & Greatest Hits
With the wide range of songs and albums Bonamassa has put out, it’s hard to choose just a few to recommend to new listeners. But we’ll try and find the music that you need to hear if you’re a brand new fan or if you want to recommend a “best of” selection list.
Starting with “Happier Times” which has a fantastic dreamy quality to it that sucks in listeners to this rich song. The vocal-guitar work is top notch and really does a good job of uplifting the lyrics to the stars. A lot of fans consider this to be the kind of trance like tone that the best guitarists can pull listeners into.
If you prefer killer guitar work then “Woke Up Dreaming” is the song for you. This acoustic guitar piece has a hint of spanish guitar work that is so thrilling to listen to. The way his fingers dance across the strings is nothing short of magical and this was certainly a highlight of Blues Deluxe. And it’s an excellent example of how this artist’s guitar work doesn’t even need lyrics to excel.
Finally, be sure to check out “Mountain Time”. This song has an interesting story where it began as a shorter 4 minute composition. But it has since been expanded into a ten minute epic that is always a fan-favorite during live performances. The guitar work is on full display as Bonamassa takes listeners along a cool trip to an exquisitely chill vibe.
