[Slowhand] Joe B...

[Garret74 at aol.com]

>>>I listened to the Joe Bonemymassa version of 'Had to

Cry  today'.......I guess I'm getting old but I fail to
see the fascination with  this guy, who to me is just
another SRV/Hendrix clone who brings  absolutely
nothing original to the table...Clapton (in his prime)
said  more with 5 notes than this 'hot shot' does with
100 notes......
 
g.w.<<< 
 
I've bought a couple of his CD's, and I find his guitar playing to be very  
good...He's not over the top as some are, and I don't find him a 'clone' of SRV 
 (like KW Shepherd is)....All in all, I recommend going to see Joe play and I 
 don't think you'd be wasting your money in buying his CD/s...I find him to 
be a  fairly original artist.
I don't care much for his cover of The Blind Faith song Had to Cry, though.  
But he is a good blues player.
 
 
Clapton says even more with five notes now than anyone else I know  of...

 
Are you saying Clapton isn't in his prime right now? ; )
