Former Creem editor Jaan Uhelszki’ said of Bonamassa’s Blues Deluxe Album, “New York guitar phenomenon walks tall in the blues tradition…jettisoning fiery riffs inspired by John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Elmore James, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman.” Big praise and big shoes to fill for Bonamassa, a challenge and standard he always manages to meet, as well as setting his own standards in his own right with his own personal touch and style that only contributes to the modern blues genre, making it richer.
