Joe [no longer Smokin'] Bonamassa's new CD is New Day
Yesterday, and it is amazing!  Joe trods little too close to his
influences at times [too much like Gary Moore's 'blues' albums and a
couple too many Eric Johnson licks] but in general, it's great stuff.
The rest of the band, esp bassist Cremo Liss can rock out too.  And
Joe can really pull it off live as well.  Definitely get the CD and see
him on tour...
