Critically acclaimed British guitarist and singer songwriter, Joanne Shaw Taylor, universally hailed as the UK’s premiere blues rock guitarist, is announcing the release of her sixth studio full-length record The Blues Album on Friday September 24, 2021.
The album will be released via Joe Bonamassa’s independent blues label KTBA Records. It was produced and recorded by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
The hotly tipped 11-track album features Joanne’s personalized covers of eleven rare blues classics originally recorded by Albert King, Peter Green, Little Richard, Magic Sam, Aretha Franklin, Little Milton, and many more.
The Blues Album, the follow up to 2019’s critically acclaimed album Reckless Heart, features Josh Smith (guitar), Reese Wynans (keyboards), Greg Morrow (drums), Steve Mackey (bass), Steve Patrick (trumpet), Mark Douthit (sax), Barry Green (trombone). Joe Bonamassa plays guitar and sings on the track Don’t Go Away Mad. Mike Farris also joins as a special guest on “I Don’t Know What You’ve Got.”
“I’d known from the beginning of my recording career that one day I wanted to record an album of blues covers, I just wasn’t sure when the right time to do that would be,” says Joanne. “I’ve always found it far easier to write my own material than come up with creative ways to make other artists’ material my own.”
“We wanted to make a tough vocal centric straight blues record that showcases Joanne’s amazing talent but in a slightly different light," explains Bonamassa. “Joanne is a dear friend and a superstar. Josh and I focused on testing her limits and pushing boundaries that might not have occurred before. It's all about making a statement and having the listener want to play the music repeatedly."
Joanne’s covers album pays tribute to artists and bands that are not obvious choices including Little Village, Little Milton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, James Ray, but, at the same time, she covers seminal blues icons including Albert King, Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green and Magic Sam. Some of the songs covered are B-sides of singles.
“We try not to live in the well-worn trails of the blues,” explains Bonamassa. “Each song has to has to stand on its own while paying tribute to the original masters."
“Joe made it known from the get-go that his main objective for this album was to push me as a singer,” recalls Joanne. “Obviously, Joe has seen me perform many times over the years and knows my voice well. I think he felt that he could my vocal performance more, and get more out of it, especially since I’d had over a year to rest my vocal cords.”
As a musician and a recording and performing artist, Joe Bonamassa has always been a fan of Joanne’s music. Ultimately, what did Bonamassa set out to achieve by co-producing this magnificent, rich, and beautifully recorded and performed album for Joanne? Joe explains, “If you focus on what people might not associate with an artist and work hard on those areas it allows her fans to discover things and sets her up in a different light. Joanne’s a great singer and always has been. The guitar unfortunately has over-shadowed it until now. A lot of us in the business have the same problem. "
“On the new album, I mostly played my own guitar, my 1966 Esquire ‘Junior’,” says Joanne. “I tried to use a few of Joes Tele’s, but they’re set up for much bigger hands than mine. I did use Joe’s vintage amps - I believe one of his 60’s Vibroverbs mixed with a fumble overdrive for pretty much all of it. We didn’t use any pedals.”

Luv ya soul Honey...from 73 year old blues man
What a great line-up of gifted musicians, and what a sad thing to realize that so few people today are interested in real, hand-made music. Maybe this is why Joe shows his first grey hair here? I love you all and I am looking forward to the new album!
Etta James could have killed it! Js

@@dalemarieglenn5866 Joanne IS....
Takes me back to the melancholy sound that was popular in mid-1960s R&B; folks like Percy Sledge. Great song. Great vocal stylings. And that guitar work!
Respect to JST, to have some of the best Blues Musicans on her side shows her rank in a very special way. Great tune.
Now, that's what you call a Classic !!!!!!! Awesome .......
Be proud as hell of that one Joanne Shaw Taylor. Goosebumps!!
Alluring guitar only Joanne can gift which is so influential to me as a guitarist and her singing is so divine!
Great stuff in the late-60's to early-70's style, reminds me of the late Janis Joplin & the late Melanie - both two wonderful artists! This is a real classic one.
Joanne with her voice of velvet -then she plays the guitar just shredding it. She’s amazing, and that’s an understatement
BOY!!!! thank you JOE!!!! she is a ticking timebomb!!!! That felt good!!! Thanks Joanne fantastic!!!
Great, Joanne, !!!!!
Can't wait to hear this new album. I love Joanne's voice 👍 and a fan of both JST and Joe Bonamassa.
Got the album today it’s as good as you would expect from such a talent as JST
Good Lawd, that was LUSH!!!
As always, Joanne is great.🥰 She NEVER disappoints, but I would have liked to have listened a few minutes longer ...
Greetings from Germany
Sweet
Oh Lady, you are a blues version of Aretha Franklin! Mixed with Stevie Ray and BB King ....they don't stand a chance... So good, stronger than ever!
With a touch of Janis Joplin. Just DAMN!!
Looking forward to the new album! Joanne is one of my all-time favorites!
My goodness that was impressive, her voice is so captivating. I feel so ashamed that I am just now learning of these fine musicians, but they have gained a new fan!

👍
being in the same room as Josh and Joe would make me sweat for sure,,,,
I spy Josh Smith and Joe Bonamassa and her Tele morps into a LP...
I guess the only disappointing thing is that this album seems to be all covers. I always prefer original material first and Joanne’s songwriting has always been the best part of her as an artist. But I’m still curious and excited to hear what she does on these cover songs as I know cover songs are not all the same.
It’s a covers album
!!!!!!
some damn fine plank spankers...
WHY - for cryin' out loud - had it to be a 'fade out'...?
Is Joe B. on every CD made?
Where are the horns I keep hearing,?
Вторая Дженис Джоплин и плюс SRV.
Seems like the audio and video aren't in sync on this one. Unusual for for a JB production. But the music is good. She needs to smile though
And that is HOW this sausage is made !
This is why when the media is all “omg H.E.R. is the best guitarist and the next Hendrix” I get just a little annoyed.
Either my audio/video is out of sync, or the mix here is beyond distracting. It doesn't look or sound like that's her singing in real time with what I'm hearing.
You are listening to the final cut while showing you a montage of various cuts in the studio they don’t record one take that would be a live recording.
sounds of Janis Joplin
Local wench, done good.
She sounds very Joplin on that.
Your missing a whole lot of demographics for record sales by not recording in 5.1
As much as I'd love to get something like that, hi res and surround formats account for a very small percentage of most record sales, certainly not a large enough percentage to justify the recording and production costs of smaller acts like JST.
@@BudgetRC_Channel Understood and still love your voice and music :)
Great music and musicians...but...Am I the only one who doesn't like the edit of the video? Vocals and guitar work not matching the audio, especially during the solo...I feel like I'm watching a poorly dubbed kung Fu movie.
The singing at 0:43 - 0:50 isn't good, how did Bonamassa miss that?
