The limited edition print-run includes a comprehensive 8,000 word, 60-page digibook that chronicles Bonamassa's fascinating rise in popularity as one the most exciting blues guitarists of our time. Written with passion and authority by Henry Yates (guitar correspondent for Classic Rock, Total Guitar and Guitarist), the exclusive collector's edition book features never-before-seen personal photographs dating back to Joe's early childhood as a budding guitarist.
'Dust Bowl' is Bonamassa’s 9th studio release in Europe and his J&R Adventures label (which he created with long-time manager Roy Weisman) in the US and his 6th collaboration with Dust Bowl’s producer, Kevin "Caveman" Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Crowes, Black Country Communion).
Recorded in sessions at Black Rock Studios in Santorini, Greece, Ben’s Studio in Nashville, TN, The Cave in Malibu, CA and The Village in Los Angeles, CA, Dust Bowl combines the gritty, blues-based tones of Bonamassa’s first albums with the fluid, genre-defying sounds he’s mastered in the years since.
Along with the best of intentions, 'Dust Bowl' benefits from collaborations with the best of Nashville, legends Vince Gill and John Hiatt. Gill lends his signature guitar stylings to the John Hiatt/John Porter-penned 'Tennessee Plates,' on which Hiatt duets with Bonamassa. Gill also plays on 'Sweet Rowena,' a song he composed with frequent writing partner Pete Wasner. Arlan Scheirbaum, Beth Hart and Blondie Chaplin play on the Michael Kamen/Tim Curry track 'No Love On The Street,' and Glenn Hughes sings on the Paul Rodgers-penned 'Heartbreaker.'
