You and Me
Joe Bonamassa
Premier Artists
Taking a cue from his last release’s Led Zeppelin-influenced track “The River,” blues-rock guitar wunderkind Bonamassa teams with producer Kevin Shirley (engineer/mixer for Zep’s “How the West Was Won”) to great effect.
Jason Bonham even plays drums for the album, along with Carmine Rojas on bass and Rick Melick on keyboards. But fear not, it’s not a Led Zep tribute disc.
While Page-Plant’s “Tea for One” is covered (with guest lead vocals by Doug Henthorn of Indianapolis-based Healing Sixes, a group Bonham joined seemingly out of nowhere for a while), the recipe for 2004’s “Had to Cry Today” thankfully is repeated: one part originals to two parts covers.
The originals include “Bridge to Better Days,” a tune that again displays Bonamassa’s knack for compositions in the vein of ’60s blue-eyed blues artists such as the Yardbirds, Cream and Free. Among the covers are the kickoff Charley Patton number and the traditional railroad-tunnel work song “Tamp ’Em Up Solid,” which is credited in the liner notes to Ry Cooder (who covered it on his own “Paradise and Lunch”).
