is the absolute best blues/rock guitar player I have heard in a very long time. I just watched the one-hour version of his show at the Beacon Theater in New York from a couple years ago, it was on Palladia and I recorded it. I am absolutely floored with JB's guitar work and the rest of the band was good too. The show was great, no mega-buck varilight show or pyro needed, no backup dancers or stupid twerking stripper wanna-be's on stage, nothing fancy at all, just great blues/rock played by super talented musicians. The musical junk that is being churned out nowadays is just plain garbage. Only once in a blue moon does a good band or good player come along who actually has real musical talent. JB will be on tour here in the States this fall, I hope to be able to catch his show when he hits Florida...

I met Chris Duarte hes a pretty cool dude.
 
Joe is an amazing talent. If you like him, check out his other band Black Country Communion.

I've seen Joe live twice. He puts on a good show. Gov't Mule is in Cleveland tomorrow. I can't wait to see them live.

Yes, Joe is a great guitar player and musician. I have seen both he(in several concerts), and BCC on Paladia. This is certainly great music!
 
Joe is awesome! I've seen him live twice now and wouldn't think twice about seeing him again. The man is an absolute machine. Both times I saw him, he played the entire time. No intermission. The rest of the band members took a break, but not Joe.



Salv mentioned Derrek Trucks, but neglected to mention his beautiful and talented wife, Susan Tedeschi. Love them too.
 
JB is legit. Saw him a few times. Last year I caught his show in Fort Wayne, IN.

Another blues man that hasn't been mentioned yet, is Johnny Lang. He's even more intense than JB.

Now that I'm sober, I can get bored with the predictability of 1-4-5 blues. I've always been most attracted to musicians who can "go off" and explore new territory. Bands who aren't afraid to take a risk and maybe fall flat on their face. Bands who change the set list up every night. Improvisation.

Of course, the greatest band that has ever kept my attention is Phish.....no one comes close for me. Phish is a band that is all their own. Insanely Ingenious.
