Working again with his longtime producer Kevin Shirley at Grand Victor Sound in Nashville, he co-wrote most of the material with Nashville songwriters including James House and Tom Hambridge, giving the album a strong, song-first backbone rather than a simple excuse for extended jamming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"This Train\" comes in at full steam, and \"Mountain Climbing\" keeps the momentum rolling. The epic \"No Good Place for the Lonely\" stretches past eight minutes, a slow-burning showcase for the patient, soaring solos that made his name, while the title track \"Blues of Desperation\" adds a darker, more brooding shade to the middle of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross 11 tracks his tone is huge and his phrasing unhurried, with plenty of fireworks for guitar devotees and enough melody to keep the songs front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of big, blues-rooted rock guitar played with conviction, this is Bonamassa at his most confident and expansive, and a highlight of his studio catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67757780402466,"sku":"804879568780","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Joe_Bonamassa-Blues_of_Desperation_2LP.jpg?v=1794291588","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/joe-bonamassa-blues-of-desperation-2lp","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
