NOW THIS IS A FUNKY WHITE BOY! First Time Reaction to Joe Bonamassa 

*Disclaimer* For those offended by my use of, “white boy”… Hear me out… IN THE SOUTH, while we do say sir/ma’am (formally) as a sign of respect. The use of boy/girl (informal) in certain context, is NOT offensive. “White boy” in this context was intended and used in a complimentary fashion like the Wild Cherry song, “Play that funky music white boy”. For example: There could be a 50 year old man playing the piano at church and someone will say, “That boy know he can play!” That man could be black, white, yellow, or orange. The same for women, “girl, those shoes are cute!” And you could be damn near 40. In New Orleans they say baby, doesn’t mean you’re a baby. In Georgia we say Chile doesn’t mean you’re a child. I get it, some people don’t like it. It’s a term of endearment, it’s part of the culture! This is why I hate the internet but love it at the same time. For the people who misconstrued my intentions, bless your hearts. I love the song, I love the blues, and I love you who continue to help us discover artists who are keeping our AMERICAN CULTURE alive! In this world, there seems to be a lot of things that divides us. Music is one of those things that can bring us together. DESPITE our differences. So please stop throwing the “R” word around or intentionally trying to offend me because you are offended. Thank you, -Management

Joe Bonamassa is a blues man and trying to keep the Blues alive. He started his career at age 12, when he opened for B.B. King.

Joe's collaborations with Beth Hart are amazing. He's been playing since he was a child.

Joe has quite a catalog, one of the best blues guitar players today....an incredible talent.

The guy playing the keys is Reese Wyans SRVs key player.

Joe is a complete guitar nerd. His collection of rare and historic guitars is incredible. The one in this video, I believe, belonged to Albert King, the late blues legend. It's probably worth more than my house.

My husband and I go to Joe Bonamassa’s concerts every time he comes to Long Beach and it truly is a treat, he is a truly amazing musician!

The blues is alive and well when it sounds this good. Bonamassa and his musicians and singers here are elite pros. Whew!

Fabulous performance by a master musician!! Loved this!! Thanks Tasha!!! 😊

Nothing compares to his live performances! If you ever get a chance to experience him live, don't miss it!

Joe's cover of Led Zeppelin's Tea For One is absolutely ridiculously awesome.

He is one of the few greats that is still playing. If he tours near you I highly recommend you go and see him. Saw him for the first time last year in Virginia Beach..... the man is a beast on the guitar. He has 15 studio albums and a lot of great work amongst them. You can't go wrong with these: You Upset me Baby, What I've Known for a Very Long time, I Gave up Everything 4 u, Trouble Town, Just Cause u Can Don't Mean u Should, and Redemption are some of my favorites.I enjoyed your reaction,TY.

Please react to Beth and Joe live in Amsterdam...singing "I'd Rather Go Blind".

He plays with a lot of artists who are all amazing.

A great guitarist. He reminds me of Frank Marino but even more bluesy.

Have seen Joe live in concert twice in very small venues. UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE.

His father owned music store started him playing at 4, now by the time he was 7, his father said he could out play him.. The story I heard was BB King saw Joe play when he was 11 and took him on tour with him.

Joe is the man. and his world class musicians he has with him are equally as talented.

It's nice to see you reacting to Joe Bonamassa, he is a guitar prodigy and singer. He was touring and opening for BB King when he was twelve years old

T you got to check out the song “l’ll take care of you” by Joe Bonamassa & Beth Heart live video performance is Legendary.

Bonamassa is worth the price of admission. Large catalog of polished soulful guitar work

I wonder if this show is on CD.I'd go out and get it right now.

Check out The Ballad of John Henry. With Eric Gayles. 2019 Keeping the Blues alive cruise.

Love this Tasha. The man is AMAZING. You should go down the rabbit whole. You won't regret it lol

A few words about Nightwish (Floor Jansen), Dimash and more. Alan Dean Foster, the famous American fantasy and science fiction writer who applied his writing talent to such hits as Star Wars and Star Trek, maintains a music section on his blog. "There are many good singers, fewer great singers, and a very small number who are unique singers. Diana is a natural dramatic contralto. This is the lowest range for a female singer. She is also polyphonic. Roughly, this means that when she sings she often sounds like more than one person singing at once. As you can imagine, the combination is extraordinary. So too is her full range. Singers at age 14 can do things that astonish us. Witness the careers of Jordan and the Dutch prodigy Amira Willighagen. But even when included in this company there is something special about Diana. I love the performances of the two singers I just mentioned, but they are (perfectly) controlled and measured. Diana is more akin to a force of nature. One of the most common descriptions of her performances is “shamanistic.” Some of this has to do with the remarkable timbre of her voice, some with the sheer intensity of her performing. In this she is closer to Floor Jansen. With both women you can see as well as hear the intensity, the emotion, contained with both the lyrics and the music. A duet between the two would be something magical. I’m mentioning her now because while she was remarkable at 14(“Rechenka”) and 15 (“Wicked Game”), she just turned 18 and for the past year has been studying at the prestigious Russian Institute of Theatre Arts in Moscow, and those studies have enormously aided her in developing not only her control but her upper register. The Russian music entrepreneur and composer, who has worked extensively with Dimash (another name you should know if you do not), bought her an apartment in Moscow so she could safely further her musical development." I would also like to draw your attention to this young vocalist Diana Ankudinova.

Live at the Greek Theatre Every song is awesome

Joe Bonamassa and Eric Clapton - Further On Up The Road live is amazing!

Mmmmmm ..... proper music!!! Cheers and thanks!

My name is Sean pendragon. I am a blues man I have played with some of the best pickers. Joe bonamassa Is by far the top player there is I have yet to play alongside with him . This would be the best experience for me Ever. Honer this incredible man

For a mindblowing experience Joe Bonamassa & Jimmy Barnes Stone Cold🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥💯

Check out "This Train" Live at the Sydney Opera House and "I'd Rather go Blind" with Beth Hart live in Amsterdam. Unbelievable performances. Then for a couple of cool studio videos "Redemption" and "Lazy" with Jimmy Barnes. WOW

Joes guitar skills are as natural as ur good looks❤️

Not only is he playing Albert Kings song, but he is playing Albert Kings song with Albert Kings guitar!!!!! Lucy is the guitars name, loaned to Joe from Steven Seagals collection.

Joe keeps the blues alive. Tasha, I'm a white boy and not offended, cause it's the way God made me. :)

Joe is a class act and a phenomenal guitar player actually of many styles. His guitar teacher used to be the late great Danny Gatton. Blues/Rock is his forte but he can play a lot of other music very well too. The SRV reference is perfect to describe keeping the Blues alive. Same as Slash bringing Rock back. Joe looks like your ordinary Joe until he has a guitar in his hands. Keeping the Blues/Rock music alive he has also put out alot of signature guitars for players to learn or advanced. He is a Geek in a good way lol. As far as The White Boy reference?? I can dig it and no one should be triggered. Keep music alive the language we can all enjoy.

Add Beth Hart''s bluesey voice to Joes blusy singing,and you have a genuine winner.

Bonamassa’s delivery is soul to soul.

I'm getting pumped to go see Joe next week in concert!!!

If you get the opportunity listen to Him and Beth Hart Live in Amsterdam doing a cover of I Rather Go Blind. It will leave you emotional, in tears

Dear Lady, that’s the blues. Got the name right! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So great you liked it! Not only is Joe a great blues artist he is in several other bands. One is Rock Candy Funk Party! He plays everthing! ❤❤

Check out Dust Bowl by Joe.....cool song.... And Thanks for this one.....

You gotta hear: Boogie Woogie Woman

Joe Bonamassa! Carrying on the Blues. Long over Due! 😎🆒🍷

Joe can play it all. Rock, blues and yes funk. He's the total package 💙🎸🎶🎤❤️🔥

He came out of the womb with a guitar 🎸 in his hands

Yes, Joe B. was a protege of BB King so there’s that. Phunky as phuk!! 😇

Yeah, with some unfortunate passings Joe is becoming the new "king "of blue eyed blues and each new video of his shows more of his old school blues roots, that he's sharing with us 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤

Please check out any of Joe's "Blues Cruise" videos. He'll have 4-5 blues artists on a cruise ship performing for passengers.

If you like Joe Bonnnamassa, you should check out the Cajun blues guitarist/singer Tab Benoit

Anyone mention the guitar he's playing? That was the late great Albert King's Gibson Flying V

Forget John Goodman. Joe Bonnamassa is the real third Blues Brother

If you like blues and great guitar, then I recommend Joe with legendary Australian Wild Man, Jimmy Barnes..... Stone Cold in Love With You, live in the studio. Also their cover of Lazy.

Great song, great reaction !!

Awesome. Can't beat Joe.

Hi Ms. T., Mr. Joe is a great guitarist.. ♠W.G.

I’m old enough to remember the original version by Bette Midler from about 1973/4! That was good but this is amazing!

There’s not another guitar player in the world that has more guitar solos than this guy. He is 2nd bar none. Otherwise known as the best ❤❤❤❤

Etta James sings this so so good...video of her performance at North Sea Jazz Fest Or just get recorded track. Her band is fantastic..horns on this track are fire.

You should check out Joe Bonamassa with Beth Hart doing Tina Turner's Nut bush city limits. I'll bet you'll enjoy the video.

If you are interested not only in talented instrumentalists, but also in outstanding singers, then pay attention to the unique singer from Russia - *Diana* *Ankudinova* . Everyone who heard her for the first time claims that they have never heard such a voice in their life! Check it out!

No offence taken. Loved the "bless their hearts" comment.

This is cover of the same song by the great Albert King who released it as a single in 1972. Albert King was the greatest blues guitarist of all time.

Uh...well, he damn sure is one funky white boy...one funky white boy to another Good choice of vids, Bonamassa is top shelf

None Taken ✌️✌🏿

♥

He has the same keyboard player as stevie ray vaughan

Joe is the real deal. He's got tons of great material, a great deal of it live in concert. He tours all over the world. I recommend digging into his material on You Tube. Just had a thought though, here's one cut from an all acoustic concert at the Vienna Opera House that shows off his powerful voice as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NKE3itL4ApY.html

Enjoyed your reaction to Joe bonamassa I enjoy hi music and I subscribed, try Angelina jordan It's a man's world in concert at 12

Like this check out Stone Cold with Joe and jimmy Barnes

Joe's got a black boy guitarist in the band backing him up.

Pick a Flying V, plays Albert King licks... picks up a Les Paul and plays Eric Johnson... the best....

That ain’t no boy, that’s a man…sweetheart

Please react to some John Mayer gravity!!!

I'm assuming you DID know that Joe is covering a song done by Albert King, right?

bojo in da'house.

While we are at it,how about a shout out to the drummer?

good job check out bob seger nutbush city limits

nun taken

And him and Beth Hart: I'd rather be blind

Hey he is white and gets down right funky..like Stevie Ray...the man just gets down...no adult would be offended by your use of that term...Im white and wish I could do that shit...you go girl

I'm white. Being offended never entered my brain. people speak. You can actually tell when someone is gonna fuck up and say something offensive. that is where the rare character references become relevant. There is alway's context. peace . ..

If you haven't reacted to Joe & Beth Hart's version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UEHwO_UEp7A.html), then you're missing out. I saw Etta James do this song live--she was GREAT--but I actually like Joe and Beth's version better.

we could've had so much better a look at that. Good one, anyhow. ;>D

Where I come from colour is never referred to at all .Bonamassa is a blues musician and that's it .The colour of your skin has nothing to do with playing music or how good you are. Customary or not, it is ludicrous to use that in a title in the year 2023 or anytime

JB is the GOAT !! 🐐

Check out Joe and Beth Hart I will take care of you.

Please, do yourself a favor. Check out Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa doing “I’d Rather go Blind”, Live in Amsterdam.

#HOGtheARMY

Albert King is where it's at....the white boy...".pales" ....in comparison.

No funky at all, this is Blues.

By your criticism you express that you’re an expert in racial matters. Well, actually, you’re too young and very far behind the valid commentators. I understand because you’re a very young and inexperienced black girl.
