Having just earned a remarkable26th #1 on theBillboardBlues Chartfor his sprawling and extensive live concert film and albumTales Of Time, the blues rock iconJoe Bonamassais back with a brand-new single from his highly anticipated new studio album, due out later this year on hisJ&R Adventureslabel.
Joe shows off his blues roots with a captivating rendition of “I Want To Shout About It” originally performed byRonnie Earl and the Broadcasters.
Bonamassa’s joyful version features solos fromReese Wynanson organ andPaulie Cerraon sax, as well as some killer adlibs from vocalistsDannielle DeAndreaandCharles Jonesas the track winds to a close. When Joe recently performed the song on his UK tour, UK music websiteSonic Abusedescribed it as “a glorious, fifties-style boogie.”
Bonamassa called upon his close friend, band mate and co-producer Josh Smith to produce this track. Smith recalls, “Shout About It is a song originally by the great Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters with Darrel Nullisch on vocals.
It’s a tough/high song to sing and Joe really pushed himself and nailed it. It’s a real rave up, a party song. Joe has been playing it live lately and the crowds are really digging it!”
The world’s busiest bluesman’s singing is better than ever, and he still turns in a foot-stomping blues riff better than most” & “He is, in short, a modern-day king of the blues.” –Classic Rock Magazine’s Louder Sound

Cited byGuitar Worldas “arguably the world’s biggest blues guitarist,” Bonamassa is known for taking risks and venturing into uncharted territory throughout his wide-ranging career. His most recent full-lengthTime Clocksmarked his most raw, rocking studio album yet, withAmerican Songwritersharing, “Bonamassa pushes into fresh territory while staying within a blues-based framework,” and “there is more than enough proof in this sprawling set that Bonamassa doesn’t intend to rest on his laurels or take his star status in the blues-rock genre for granted.”
Hailed as “a near spiritual experience” by Classic Rock Magazine and featuring songs from his latest #1 studio album,Time Clocks, Bonamassa’s latest live concert releaseTales Of Time, captures a stratospheric performance by the blues-rock titan at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which found his virtuoso guitar style and unique technique and flair elevating the evening to an almost heavenly high. The project was produced by long-time collaborator and producerKevin Shirley(Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Journey).
“This live show represents our most progressive and largest production to date, focusing on my most ambitious studio album to date,” commented Bonamassa. “My band was a force of nature on this show, and it truly was a special night.” For more information onTales Of Time,clickHERE.
