Joe Bonamassa is one of the last new real blues guitarists that I've seen come out. While he might be odds on favourite to hold the distinction of being the last of a dying breed (especially since Jeff Healey died and Jonny Lang withered away stylistically), he is surely deserving to be placed in the same conversation as some of the other great blues guitarists of all time such as Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the rest of them. Following his 2003 amazing album (Blues Deluxe) in which he managed to play in the style of many of the afore mentioned guitar players, he released in 2004 the album Had To Cry Today with the title track being a cover of the famous Blind Faith song from 1969. And what a cover it is! I've always maintained that whenever an artist is covering a song he should do his best to take that song to achieving as close as 100% of its potential. Well, boy does Bonamassa ever deliver! This being, hands down, the best version of Had To Cry Today I have ever heard and I think he truly brought the song to a point from which there can be no further improvements. That's what I call 100%!
