180g 3LP Set On Colored Vinyl!
  Tribute To Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page!
  Includes Exclusive Bonus Track "Taxman"!
 
  Joe Bonamassa, the two-time GRAMMY-nominated blues rock guitar icon releases   British Blues Explosion Live on 3LP.
 
  Joe’s salute to the icons of British blues features the unbelievable music of   Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page! Joe recently paid tribute to his heroes   during a short but very sweet tour of Britain – 5 performances only. This show   was recorded at Greenwich Music Time at The Old Royal Naval College in   Greenwich, London on July 7, 2016.
 
  Joe Bonamassa has been more influenced by the impact of British Blues than by   any other music out there. From a young age, the musically inclined Joe fell in   love with the hard-rocking, gritty, and pioneering sound that emanated from   early 1960’s Britain.
 
  Joe’s admiration for legends Clapton, Beck, and Page reaches far deeper than any   other musician from this influential era. For the first time, with this   unforgettable performance, he was able to give special homage to the British   guitarists who inspired him the most.
 
  The five-piece band included Michael Rhodes (Bass), Reese Wynans (Keyboards),   Anton Fig (Drums) and Russ Irwin (Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals).
 
  Bonamassa passionately believes in the need for this and future generations of   blues musicians to continue to explore the music of these three icons of blues   history. “If it wasn't for certain British musicians of the early 1960s, the   Blues may very well never have exploded into Rock music as we know it today, and   indeed may have passed into history,” says Joe.
 
  The explosion of British Blues that occurred in the 1960s built an essential   bridge between the blues and rock music, two forms of popular music that have   meant so much to so many people over the last century.
 
  When one thinks of the similarities between British Blues powerhouses Clapton,   Beck, and Page, one is almost immediately drawn to think of the fact that they   all held tenure in one of the most important – the most important, according to   some people – blues bands that came out of Britain, The Yardbirds. However, the   connection between these three guitarists lies so much deeper. All three of   them, inspired so much by the American blues icons that came before them, have   paved the way forward for Rock ‘n’ Roll and blues music.
 
  As one of the world’s leading guitarists and a passionate devotee to the sacred   form of art that is the British Blues, there is no person more qualified to   preach the British Blues than Joe Bonamassa. A Salute to the British Blues   Explosion is a cross-generational musical moment that will be unlike anything   else you’ve experienced. Go with Joe Bonamassa on a journey to re-discover the   music of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, and fall in love with the   British Blues all over again.
