#547 :: LIVE Blues Recording :: Crossroads Revisited with Eric Clapton

The Blues Room #547
Wednesday 27 July 2016 
9pm-10pm, FreeFM89.0, 
Hamilton, NZ.

Nearly four hours of live performances from Eric Clapton's acclaimed Crossroads Guitar Festival are coming to CD for the first time. This new 3 disc collection coming out now on Rhino will feature 41 tracks of landmark performances from all four Crossroads Guitar Festivals, which were held in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2013.

Founded in 2004 by the legendary guitarist, Eric Clapton, the Crossroads Guitar Festival has given fans an opportunity to witness truly historic performances by some of the world's greatest guitarists. While fans have been able to relive those magical moments thanks to a series of successful DVD and Blu-ray compilations, only a few of those performances have made their way to CD.

A veritable "Who's Who" of guitar music can be heard on this set, including Clapton, Jeff Beck, Gary Clark Jr., Robert Cray, Billy F Gibbons, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Joe Walsh, Ronnie Wood, and Jimmie Vaughn, just to name a few. Naturally, the all-star jams deliver some of the collection s most unforgettable moments.

Held every three years since 2004, the Crossroads Guitar Festival raises funds for the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a treatment and education facility that Clapton founded in 1998 to help people suffering from chemical dependency.

Nate has selected some of his favorite performances from Crossroads festivals, including a tune by Taj Mahala nd Keb Mo which wasn't included on the 3 CD release. Enjoy!

1. Rock Me Baby – Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, B.B. King & Jimmie Vaughan [2004]
2. Drums Of Passion (Jingo) – Carlos Santana with Eric Clapton [2004]
3. Hell At Home – Sonny Landreth with Eric Clapton [2007]
4. Mas Y Mas – Los Lobos [2007]
5. Lay Down Sally – Vince Gill with Sheryl Crow, Keb’ Mo’, Albert Lee, James Burton & Earl Klugh [2010]
6. Five Long Years – Buddy Guy with Jonny Lang & Ronnie Wood [2010]
7. Born Under A Bad Sign – Booker T. with Steve Cropper, Keb’ Mo’, Blake Mills, Matt “Guitar” Murphy & Albert Lee [2013]
8. Please Come Home – Gary Clark Jr. [2013]
9. Diving Duck Blues - Taj Mahal and Keb Mo [2013]

Joe Bonamassa Announces First Ever New Zealand Show


Bonamassa Will Open for Bonamassa! – NZ Show Will Feature Both Full Acoustic and Full Electric Sets 

Town Hall, Auckland, New Zealand, September 12th 2014 : Guitar Hero Joe Bonamassa will perform his first ever New Zealand Show. Tickets on sale Monday May 5th & 6th for fan presales and general public sales from May 7th. Tickets from Ticketmaster.

The show will offer two entirely new and exciting band line-ups with Bonamassa essentially opening for himself. The first set will feature Bonamassa alongside the acoustic band from his #1 Billboard acoustic CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House playing an assortment of rare, vintage, organic and “oddball” instruments alongside performers Gerry O’Connor, Mats Wester, and Lenny Castro. Together they will run through an hour of the signature acoustic performance from Bonamassa’s Vienna show, treating the audience to a gorgeously textured unplugged experience. Bonamassa will then shift into electric mode for the second half of the show featuring his regular touring band: Carmine Rojas (bass), Tal Bergman (drums), and new touring keyboardist (and fellow Black Country Communion member) Derek Sherinian. Recent kudos for Bonamassa include his very first Grammy nomination for Best Blues Album, his twelfth #1 Billboard Blues Album (more than any other artist), and his DVD Joe Bonamassa: Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring Eric Clapton joining him onstage, earning platinum status.

Bonamassa has a full catalogue of albums that have blown away New Zealand fans for years “You and Me”, The Ballad Of Joe Henry”,Had to Cry Today”, “Driving Towards Daylight”, “Live The Royal Albert Hall” and “Dust Bowl” are a few of his solo albums. Projects with Beth Hart “Don’t Explain” and “SeeSaw” and “Live in Amsterdam” have added another dimension to his music as have his Black Country Communion albums ( Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham,Derek Sherinan).

This year he will also be working on a much-anticipated new solo studio album featuring all-new, all-original material. Joe is currently playing a few select tracks from this new album Live on Tour.

“Joe is unquestionably among our greatest living guitarists, destined to be counted among the greatest of all-time.”The Orange County Register

“The New King of Blues” Guitarist Magazine

“Right now, there’s no better Blues-rock artist than Bonamassa” gibson.com

“Bonamassa is a bold talent.” Billboard

“Wicked guitar thrills.” Mike Joyce, Washington Post

“This kid deserves to be in the same class with Stevie Ray F*&cking Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck.” Rock guitarist Ted Nugent after a recent jam with Joe for VH-1’s Supergroup
