00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Today's topic Joe Bonamasa. Tune in and lend me your ears,

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>because we're about to dive into the world of none

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>other than Joe Bonamasa. This American blues rock titan not

4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>only scrums the scrings of his vintage guitars, but also

5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the very scrings of the hearts. Can you believe he

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>kicked off his career at just twelve years young opening

7
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>for the legendary b. B. King. That's like being a

8
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>baseball rookie hitting a home run off Babe Ruth. Since

9
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the turn of the millennium, Bonamasa has been cranking out

10
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>those blistering solo albums through his own label, J n

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>R Adventures. He's no slouch, with a wopping eleven of

12
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>those albums hitting the pinnacle of the Billboard Blues chart.

13
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>He's racking up those numbers like a true rock and

14
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>blues maestro. You want so, He's got it in spades,

15
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and oh the company he keeps. This guy has jammed

16
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, proving

17
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>time and time again that he's more than just a name.

18
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention

19
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 1>those three Grammy nominations. That's right. This man is not

20
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 1>just playing around. But let's talk about that anthem titled

21
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I Wanna Shout About It. What a tune. It's got

22
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>all the elements we love and a killer rock jam

23
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>with lyrics that give off strength and devotion. It captures

24
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>love that's not only fierce but uplifting. Well, she's strong

25
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>enough to hold me, strong enough to turn me loose.

26
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>You can just feel the passion and the raw energy

27
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>in every line. That's what we crave, that connection to

28
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the music and to each other. Bonamasa is out there

29
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>telling us he wants to sing his song and do

30
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the best he can do, and you better believe he's

31
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>doing just that. This is a modern day blues prodigy

32
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>who's keeping the flame alive and handing it off to

33
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>the next generation. So let's get out there, turn up

34
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>those amplifiers and give a hearty shout about it, because

35
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.000
