Joe Bonamassa – Sloe Gin 2007 flac

For his seventh studio album, guitar wiz Joe Bonamassa has chosen to work again with producer Kevin Shirley, who produced the highly successful and huge-sounding You & Me for Bonamassa in 2006. This outing, though, is far from a ditto session, with a much more acoustic feel and a greater focus on Bonamassa’s singing, which unfortunately has been generally (and unfairly) overshadowed by his guitar playing.
