BE SUPRISED! - By: steve hughes, 06 Aug 2008 
I have a wide musical taste but my first love is blues.
Knowing that he is normally a rock man,he like many others go back to blues.
All i will say is,if you are a Blues fan...buy it.
Jo reminds me of a modern day Johnny Winter(much,much underated guitar player by many)not only of electric but slide & acoustic.
I still have the fist vynil album i ever boughtin 1968 by Johnny....still a stunning album!!...this will join ranks.
Along with great voice,stunning guitar some very nice harp playing on this CD.
Just wish i had that much talent when i was his age!!
Jo comes up trumps for sure....
Blues Deluxe Joe Bonammasa - By: Mr. Simon Thorne, 27 Dec 2007 5* Album Best blues guiterist on the planet a present. See him live to fully apreciate. Just buy the album & dream of being able to play half as good if you can then you will be an excellent guitarist
definitely deluxe - By: P. Lettenmaier, 19 Jan 2007 I first heard Joe Bonamassa on Paul Jones' fabulous BBC2 program [thanks to the good ol' internet].
I ordered "You & Me" immediately & loved it. Craved more so decided to get "Blues Deluxe" sent over.
WEEEELLL...... I know comparisons at this level are a little meaningless but this album challenges my view that Stevie Ray Vaughan is as good as it gets.
Every track is a cracker. What impresses me about Joe is his versatility- there's the hard rockin' electric stuff, acoustic magic, sweet slide...
I mean, where does this guy end? He ends with "Mumbling Word", track 12, a luscious piece of classic blues with that lovely tinny Dobro sound [although the sleeve notes don't mention a Dobro, maybe it's that 1936 Gibson?].
Do yourself a favor, treat your ears to some of the most deluxe blues you'll ever hear!!!! 5 stars? Make it ten!
another great young bluesman - By: R. Grant, 26 Oct 2006 first heard of joe on walter trout "full circle" cd .so i had to buy an album to try him out .i wasn't disappointed ,great blues & great guitar playing i'm playing this album alot ."blues deluxe" & "woke up dreamin" are my favourites but the whole album is great . i'm now listening to his album "you & me" that arrived today as i write this . got his dvd "at the rockpalast" for xmas ,can't wait . anyone who hasn't heard him will like this album .
Another Gem from Joe - By: R. McFadden, 30 Aug 2006 This guy is GOOOD. Great songs, great production & (as always) fine guitar work. This is the best of electric blues with an individual touch of class that Joe's playing & singing brings to every track. Not a duff song on the album - check out my personal favourite - Burning Hell, shades of the late, great John Lee Hooker with some fine harp playing to boot. You will not be disappointed with this CD - guaranteed.
