_____________WednesdayJuly1st2009Santorini, Greece

Ten tracks into the new 2010 Bonamassa album, and it's going great. Some very heavy blues, a handful of very youthful rock tracks, and a couple of sensitive "world-blues" tracks make up the bulk of the album - thus far. Above, the amazing Greek musicians who played on three tracks of the album - that's me, Thanasis, Joe and Manolis. Click their names to see them playing their instruments! I think it's been an eye-opener for the Boss to experience close proximity intraction with these talents - and it's all good for the musician within.

I definitely am making the most out of being here -I absolutely LOVE Greece, it's totally amazing and creative being here - and this Black Rock studio is fantastic, but I am ready to be home.....

_____________MondayJune29th2009Santorini, Greece

It's my birthday today. I'd prefer to be with my family, but it's not the worst way to spend a birthday (hey, my eldest son called and even sang to me!!!). Firstly, I love working in the studio, which is where I'll be. We started the day with a long walk to a bay, with deep, clear blue water, and had a big swim in the ocean, under huge overhanging cliffs with visiblity clear to the ocean floor about 60 feet below. The recording of Joe Bonamassa's new studio album is going so well - we're making a darker, heavier record: dark Blues tracks plus a couple of rockers that steam - in the style of the 70's rockers. Not perfectly sequenced and perfect - just beautiful raw music, and it sounds great! We know, it's impossible to impress everyone, all the time (Rolling Stone gave all the Led Zep albums bad reviews!) so we're making the kind of music we like to listen to. And hope y'all do too..........

 

Peace
