Joe Bonamassa: An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House versie op 2CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Provogue in samenwerking met Mascot Label Group op 2. april 2013.

For 25 years, Joe Bonamassa can not only look back on an impressive career as a professional musician, but he has also left behind a remarkable and diverse musical footprint. He plays more than 200 concerts a year around the world and continues to live his musical life in various side projects. In addition to his live performances, Joe Bonamassa has four important recordings coming this year: his first purely acoustic concert "An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House", recorded at the venerable Vienna Opera House, is in stores. This album is part of his unprecedented 2012 concert series. For 2LP, Joe's longtime producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, John Hiatt and many others) gathered an international ensemble around him and chose an opera house in the "capital of music" that was perfect for the job, not only because of its history and its connection to legendary composers. And so Joe Bonamassa shares the stage, where in his time Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler and Haydn performed their works, with Irish violinist Gerry O'Connor, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mats Wester (nyckelharpa), keyboardist Arlan Schierbaum on piano and percussionist Lenny Castro, who hails from Puerto Rico. "An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera" contains a lot of varied music, rich in all kinds of rare and special instruments. Highlights include "Woke Up Dreaming", a popular instrumental that Joe regularly plays during his electronic performances, as well as "Around The Bend", "Driving Towards The Daylight", "Ball Peen Hammer" and "Sloe Gin". Product Information Joe Bonamassa is cementing his reputation as one of the world's finest guitarists while transforming himself into a charismatic blues-rock star and singer-songwriter with stylistic depth and emotional resonance. His ability to connect with audiences in concert is transformative, and his latest project, the acoustic 2-LP Joe Bonamassa: An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House (J&R Adventures), captures the magnetism and maturity Bonamassa displays as an artist. Joe Bonamassa: An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House was recorded at the historic Vienna Opera House last July during a special two-week unplugged tour that played to limited audiences at seven exclusive European concerts. Unlike his predominantly electric blues shows, this was an all-acoustic concert performance that was a unique and very special show that fans had been waiting for for years. Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Shirley, Joe is assisted on his vintage acoustic instruments by an eclectic lineup of craftsmen from around the world. They include: Gerry O'Connor, a music historian and traditional Irish fiddler from many generations of Irish music, will play Irish fiddle, mandolin and Irish banjo; Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mats Wester will play Nyckelharpa, a Swedish keyed fiddle; Los Angeles keyboardist Arlan Schierbaum, whose extensive recording career has focused on organic instruments, will play accordions, celesta, toy pianos and more; and legendary Puerto Rican percussionist Lenny Castro, whose work spans genres and is like a roster of artists including the Rolling Stones, Sir Elton John, Eric Clapton, Boz Scaggs, Toto, Stevie Wonder, David Sanborn, Avenged Sevenfold, Little Feat, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more.(jbonamassa. com) Review "No one on the blues-rock scene plays with such passion and talent, and also with such respect for those who have stood on stage before him.
