Twenty years since the release of his best-selling album Blues Deluxe, which celebrated “the year of the blues” with unforgettable reinterpretations of classic tracks, JOE BONAMASSA is taking stock of how far he and the genre have come with the upcoming release of ”Blues Deluxe, Vol. 2”.
Featuring 2 new originals and 8 new covers of some of the most influential names in the blues, Bonamassa returns to his roots and gives new life to the classic tracks that have informed his own artistry.
One of the original tracks is “Hope You Realize It (Goodbye Again),” a song Bonamassa wrote with Tom Hambridge. The track has a deep funk groove that Bonamassa has attributed to his decision to give it “a real Tower of Power treatment.” It’s fast and smooth, with emphatic drums and an exciting mid-song Bonamassa solo.
