Hit: 5 Stars
...there is a lot of folks here who might be dissapointed Joe didn't stay with a more straight on Blues style like Blues Deluxe rather than mixing in more rock influences, but I would disagree. I actually like You and Me way more.I typically just listen to You Upset Me, Blues Deluxe and Long Distance Blues.The way Joe opens the solo of Long Diatance Blues with the quote from John Mayall's Beano cd version of Double Crossing Time featuring Eric Clapton slays me every time, but I find myself hitting the "next" button more often than I'd like to admit(51 year old attention deficiency? hmmm...)In any case that does not happen with You and Me.I just press play and go along for the ride(I do skip Torn Down though ).One of my favorite tracks is the first one I heard,the beautiful "Asking Around For You" thanks to the 501 Blues feature on KFOG radio.Joe actually thanks the station in the liner notes.What can I say, I'm a sucker for wailing melodic solos,kind of like Around the Bend from Had to Cry Today.Other faves would be "So Many Roads" with Joe nailing the V to IV transition here with those Hendrix inspired up down bends in the second solo,bringing the laughing and crying at the same time response from me almost every time,and the awesome "Tea for One".Extra credit for having Jason Bonham laying down the stomp like his dad John.I love the leads Joe unleashes here,reminding me a bit of Since I've Been Loving You(Aeolian mode?).Just flat out smokin'."I Don't Believe" is another jam along fave.Anyway,to me Joe B is almost a national treasure and while "Sloe Gin" also gets the "next" treatment, I'm confident I'll be buying every CD this cat releases.Smokin' Joe indeed!
You & Me Poster
A powerful fusion of the "big rock sound" and swampy blues, You & Me gets much of its inspiration from such masters as Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker. Bonamassa delivers all the excitement and power of his electrifying live performances while mixing it up with dynamic music choices; from hard to soft, electric to acoustic, a music roller coaster seldom achieved by recording artists today.You & Me also marks the debut collaboration of Bonamassa and producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Joe Satriani). Says South African-born Shirley: "When I was approached to work with Joe, I already knew he was an awesome talent, but I also knew I'd want to do something a little different from a straight blues album. There are a lot of very good blues players performing copycat versions of classics. I wanted more of a rock sound, and I wanted Joe to showcase his depth and versatility; his vocals as well as his incredible guitar playing."
Highlights include: "Asking Around For You," a classy, poignant bluesy ballad a la Ray Charles; "Django," a Jeff Beck-flavored tribute to Django Reinhardt; "High Water Everywhere," a grungy, Delta blues tribute to the recently devastated city of New Orleans; "So Many Roads," a blues classic made famous by legend Otis Rush; and "Tea For One," a lesser known Led Zeppelin song which has been embellished with full orchestra - featuring Jason Bonham on drums.
You And Me (featuring Jason Bonham on drums) marks the debut collaboration of Bonamassa and producer Kevin Shirley and is a powerful fusion of big rock and swampy blues, You And Me gets much of its inspiration from such masters as Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker. Bonamassa delivers all the excitement and power of his electrifying live performances while mixing it up with dynamic music choices; from hard to soft, electric to acoustic, a music roller coaster seldom achieved by recording artists today. Provogue.
