JOE BONAMASSA--Different Songs of Blue III

This is the third of a series of Joe Bonamassa collections (the first was Different Songs of Blue) which I intend to post. The first was a collection of 12 of Joe's "quieter" song performances. The remaining posts are groups of songs without a common theme except that they each are a mixture of songs, band members, and stages of Joe's career that are not usually found together.

My task was to group them and put them into a set list with an order pleasing to the listener. At the moment I have 106 songs recorded from 2005 to this year on 9 discs. Since they seem to be of interest, I will probably post each new one as soon as the previous post reaches 100 or so downloads. We'll see.

Enjoy!.

*Various tracks were shortened using CD Wave Editor. Then, Audacity was used to fade in and fade out on certain tracks, to amplify or decrease the volume as needed, and to add silence at the end of some tracks.

A big thanks go out to the various tapers who captured the shows these tracks came from. You are doing an excellent job. Seven of the tracks on this disc are from digital audience recordings while the other 3 were recorded from an FM broadcast, and I would rate each of them A/A+ considering their origins. Of course they won't all sound exactly the same as they were recorded by different people on different equipment in different venues. I have included 2 samples in the comments which I think are representative of their quality. I have also included some simple artwork as I now have for the first 2 of the series.

Most importantly: The intent of these volumes is to introduce you to Joe Bonamassa's music or to enhance or renew your appreciation of it. All of Joe's albums are still available, and hopefully if you don't have all of them or need new copies, this will encourage you to purchase them. They are available at Joe's own web site (www.joebonamassa.com) and at Amazon.com.
