Joe Bonamassa

Joe Bonamassa is known for his raw, gritty voice and technically accomplished guitar playing in the same blues-rock style as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang.

Joe Bonamassa cites the three albums that had the biggest influence on his playing; John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton (the 'Beano Album'), Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour and Goodbye by Cream.

One notable thing about Bonamassa's influences are the range of genres they cover - Rock, Blues-rock, Jazz, Country, Delta Blues, Electric Blues - which are all displayed in Bonamassa's unique playing style.
