I'm surprised this guy doesn't get much more recognition. He opens for B.B. King, whips out guitar solos that gives me goosebumps, he's unstoppable... Normally I claim to be a metalhead, but this man... he is... he's amazing... Although I don't deny that it is likely that the attraction comes from metal's roots in blues, I think anyone who appreciates one genre or another would love this music.
My dad turned me on to him actually. Usually we disagree fundamentally on everything music, but Bonamassa is undeniably amazing. Everything I've heard him play is genius. I'm not a huge fan of his songs from what I've heard but when he gets playing he always tears it up, no matter the setting. One of the best for sure.
Here he is guesting for Gov't Mule, imo Bonamassa steals the show here. And that's a very difficult thing to do when you're sharing the stage with Warren Haynes.
