Breakthrough

Joe Bonamassa

Polished blues rock with a surprising funk undercurrent. High-octane guitar work meets soulful, road-weary narratives and pristine studio engineering.

It's Joe doing what he does best, but with a funky swagger that makes the solos hit even harder.

A high-octane blend of road-weary reflection and technical triumph.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive wah-wah solo on Trigger Finger that mimics a vocal argument.
The seven-minute slow burn of Broken Record where the guitar tone evolves from a whisper to a scream.
The tight, syncopated funk interplay between the bass and drums on the title track.
