Joe Bonamassa Different Shades Of Blue

When total unknowns perform at itty bitty hole in the walls on dark deserted streets. You truly don't realize at any given moment the musicians you just cut a commercial for could go onto to become legendary. From the I Heart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Blues Guitarist Joe Bonamassa... Deerfield Beach, FL, October 2, 2014: In an incredibly competitive release week with 15 new entries in the top 30, blues-rock guitar hero Joe Bonamassa was able to outsell and beat multiple superstar artists on the Billboard Top 10 including Lenny Kravitz, Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, and Gary Clarke, Jr. with his brand new solo album Different Shades Of Blue (J&R Adventures) debuting at #8 on Billboard’s Top 200. This is Bonamassas’s highest charting album, first top 10, and biggest sales week ever. The album also earned #1 spots on Billboard’s Indie Chart and Blues Chart. This is Bonamassa’s 13th #1 Blues album – more than any other artist. Bonamassa's Top 10 Debut was engineered by J&R Adventures, the label Bonamassa founded with longtime manager, Roy Weisman. It has divisions in publishing, management, and memorabilia and is branding itself as a disruptive and independent entity in the music business. By vertically integrating its business to meet the needs of the artist and the fans, it gives control to the artist and its management directly, rather than to a handful of outside individuals. From this, J&R Adventures has been able to compete against the major labels in the record industry to generate Bonamassa’s current top 10 chart position. According to Billboard, “Different Shades of Blue is the highest-ranking blues album in almost two years.” Buy Different Shades Of Blue here: http://shop.jbonamassa.com/collections/different-shades-of-blue/products/different-shades-of-blue-cd
