GRAMMY-nominated blues-rock guitar icon Joe Bonamassa announces today his brand-new studio solo album, Blues Of Desperation (Provogue), will be released March 25, 2016. Like his previous solo disc, 2014\u2019s Top 10 Billboard hit Different Shades of Blue, the new album features all-original material, and it sees the maverick superstar guitarist, singer and songwriter tossing away the rule book as he continues to reinvent and redefine the blues-rock genre like no other artist working today. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI want people to hear my evolution as a blues-rock musician,\u201d says Bonamassa, \u201csomebody who isn\u2019t resting on accomplishments and who is always pushing forward and thinking about how music can evolve and stay relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The writing sessions for Blues Of Desperation took Bonamassa back to Nashville, where he\u2019d composed Different Shades of Blue, to work with some of Music City\u2019s top tunesmiths, people like James House, Tom Hambridge, Jeffrey Steele, Jerry Flowers and Gary Nicholson. \u00a0\u201cThese are some of the best guys in the business,\u201d Bonamassa raves. “Lyrically, you\u2019ll hear the proverbial trains, mountains, valleys and other blues references about heartbreak and loneliness, but there are also some poignant moments about getting away from the stressful, crazy demands of life and losing yourself with your special someone. I think anybody will be able to relate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bonamassa and his long-time producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Journey) convened at Nashville\u2019s Grand Victor Sound Studios (formerly known as RCA Studio A), and during an intense, five-day period they recorded 11 galvanizing songs with a crack group of musicians including drummers Anton Fig and Greg Morrow, bassist Michael Rhodes, keyboardist Reese Wynans, horn players Lee Thornburg, Paulie Cerra and Mark Douthit, and background singers Mahalia Barnes, Jade McRae and Juanita Tippins.<\/p>\n
