Bonamassa: Consider Yourself Introduced

Joe Bonamassa, the most recent guitar phenom. If you don't like blues rock, blazing guitar, and a thumping bass go ahead and exit out of this! Joe can blaze it or bring it smooth. The Ballad of John Henry is worth the time you took to even get here so at least check that one out (The last one). Dust Bowl is the title track from his most recent album and is a studio version (not live). The CD to buy is Joe Bonamassa Live at the Royal Albert Hall-- all of which can be viewed song by song at youtube. They say there is nothing quite like going to see Joe in concert and I am gonna make an effort to get that bucket list item done this year somewhere.

All-Time Great Album One More From The Road

Lynyrd Skynyrd One More From The Road

This is one of the great live albums of all time and right now you can download it at amazon.com for $14.99. If you were to only own one Skynyrd record this is the one to have. It is indeed one of the best live albums of all time in my humble opinion. This is the only live album of the band in their prime, pre-plane crash.

The Zoo!

The below is one of my favorite Scorpion tracks. If you enjoy Michael Schenker on guitar I highly recommend Strangers in the Night live by UFO. As for as the Scorpions go it is hard to pick a best album though Lovedrive is quite an accomplishment. You might also be surprised at their newest release called Humanity Hour 1. As for live albums the 19 song World Wide Live (Remastered) is quite a good deal on Itunes for $9.99.
