JASON BONHAM To Guest On New JOE BONAMASSA Album
December 28, 2010, 13 years ago
Guitar International has issued a new interview with JOE BONAMASSA (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION), currently hailed as one of the hottest blues-rock guitarists. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Brian D. Holland:
Brian: Is there anything new on the horizon?
Joe: "Yeah. We just finished a record a couple of weeks ago. Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN, BONHAM) played drums and Carmine Rojas (ROD STEWART, DAVID BOWIE) played bass. It sounds a lot like a refined A New Day Yesterday."
Brian: Why a refined A New Day Yesterday?
Joe: "The production is a little bigger and a little more sophisticated. It’s being mastered right now."
Brian: You have the ability to sing well and play an instrument in an extraordinary manner. Does one take away from the other, or is there a happy medium?
Joe: "I absolutely think that one helps the other. Doing all of the singing takes pressure off of having to play all the time; when you play something it means more. Playing also takes pressure off of singing all the time, so it means more when you sing something. That’s the way it works."
