Recorded at The Palms, Las Vegas, NV; The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, CA; The Cave, Malibu, CA.

Driving Towards the Daylight is the tenth studio album by blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. It was released on May 22, 2012. Recorded at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, CA and Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, NV, Driving Towards the Daylight is a balanced and "back-to-basics album that highlights Bonamassa’s signature style of blues, roots, and rock & roll". Driving Towards the Daylight was produced by Kevin “Caveman” Shirley (Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin), making this Bonamassa and Shirley’s seventh album collaboration in six years. The album debuted at number 2 in the UK. This constitutes the highest performance to date of a Joe Bonamassa album on a non blues- or rock-specific chart. In Canada, the album debuted at number 55. In the U.S. the album debuted at number 1 on the Blues albums chart and number 23 on the Billboard 200.



Ein neues, brilliantes Meisterwerk von einem der besten Gitarristen unserer Zeit - Joe Bonamassa! Am 18. Mai veröffentlicht der 34-jährige New Yorker, der als Superstar des zeitgenössischen Bluesrocks gefeiert wird, sein neues Album Driving Towards Daylight. Das die internationale Presse ihn mittlerweile in einem Atemzug mit Legenden wie Eric Clapton, John Mayall oder auch Jeff Beck nennt, kommt nicht von ungefähr: In künstlerischer Hinsicht gibt es zurzeit keinen bedeutenderen und einflussreicheren Gitarristen als Bonamassa! Das aktuelle Album folgt den grandiosen Veröffentlichungen The Ballad Of Joe Henry (2009), Black Rock (2010) oder auch Dust Bowl (2011), mit denen er weltweit die Charts hochschoss und ruhmreiche Auszeichnungen fast im Monatstakt einheimste. Der rote Faden zu diesen fabelhaften Scheiben ist unverkennbar - Bonamassas charismatische Stimme, seine feurige Gitarre und sein facettenreiches Songwriting. Produziert wurde Driving Towards Daylight von Joe's langjährigem Begleiter Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Black Country Communion, Iron Maiden u.v.a.). Ltd. Deluxe Edition - CD im Digibook mit 72 Seiten Booklet inkl. Gitarren-Liebhaber Story. Limitierte Erstauflage.

He'll never be the new Stevie Ray Vaughan, but at the rate blues-rock (emphasis on the latter) guitarist Joe Bonamassa is going, he can take a stab at being the next Gary Moore. Like the Irish guitarist, Bonamassa is influenced by the British blues-rockers more than the Americans they lifted their licks from. He's also just as prolific; this is his thirteenth album in twelve years and that's not including side projects with Black Country Communion and Beth Hart, and DVDs grabbed from his 200-night-a-year road schedule filled with sweaty, high-energy performances. Makes you tired just reading about it. Bonamassa isn't much of a songwriter so he wisely contributes only four tunes to this disc's eleven, with some relatively obscure deep blues covers from Howlin' Wolf ("Who's Been Talkin'"), Willie Dixon ("I Got All You Need"), and Robert Johnson ("Stones in My Passway") gravitating toward his roots side. Also included are offbeat choices from Bill Withers ("Lonely Town/Lonely Street") and Tom Waits ("New Coat of Paint"). For better or worse, they all end up sounding like Joe Bonamassa tracks, since he feeds them into his leathery rock sensibilities, churning out requisite hot guitar solos whether they serve the song or not. He's left his road-hardened band on the sidelines and calls in top-notch session guys, including Aerosmith's Brad Whitford, David Letterman drummer Anton Fig, and keyboardist Arlen Schierbaum, whose piano and organ add some much-needed R&B attitude to the hard rock attack. Bonamassa even relinquishes lead vocals to Australian Jimmy Barnes, who goes so over the top singing his own "Too Much Ain't Enough Love" it seems like he is auditioning for AC/DC. Longtime producer Kevin Shirley gets a slick, professional sound from these guys, and when everyone is cooking and the material is solid, such as on the grinding Bonamassa original "Dislocated Boy" and the Wolf cover (including a spoken word sample of the blues legend that kicks off the tune), the arrangements and guitars mesh together like whisky and soda. What Bonamassa lacks in a distinctive sound and singing, he makes up for with sheer determination, which is almost enough to push the album from pretty good to pretty great, especially on the horn-enhanced slow blues of "A Place in My Heart" that explodes out of the speakers in a way Gary Moore could summon at will. In other words, this is a keeper if you've already bought into the guitarist's more-is-more approach that has served him well thus far, and he shows no signs of abandoning it now.

It’s vibrant and it’s gutsy and it’s really, really rugged.”

"Bonamassas Plan ist ehrgeizig: Er will dem Blues das Alte-Herren-Image nehmen, ihn ins neue Jahrtausend führen. Könnte klappen, wenn er so weiter macht wie bisher." (musikmarkt, Mai 18-2012)

"Der Sound ist very british - der New Yorker liebt eben Clapton & Co." (Audio, Juli 2012)

"Der Mann ist momentan einfach unschlagbar." (stereoplay, Juli 2012)

"Blues-Rock vom Feinsten, praktisch ohne Schwachpunkte." (Good Times, August / September 2012)



Recorded at Studio At The Palms in Las Vegas, NV, The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, CA and The Cave in Malibu, CA, Driving Towards The Daylight is a balanced back-to-basics album that highlights Bonamassa s signature style of roots blues with rock-and-roll guts, while honoring the traditions of the original blues musicians. We ve taken some really traditional old blues songs the Howlin Wolf song Who s Been Talkin ? and the Robert Johnson song Stones In My Passway, and we ve tried to imagine how they would do them in a rock context, said Shirley. It s a very exciting return to the blues in a very visceral way. It s vibrant and it s gutsy and it s really, really rugged.

To challenge Joe and move him out of his comfort zone, a unique group of musicians was gathered including Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford (guitar), Blondie Chaplan (guitar), Anton Fig (drums and percussion), Arlan Schierbaum (keyboard), Michael Rhodes (bass), Carmine Rojas (bass), Jeff Bova and The Bovaland Brass, Pat Thrall (guitar), and Brad s son Harrison Whitford (guitar).

The album features five Bonamassa-penned originals including the bruising opener Dislocated Boy, the road warrior title track (and first single) Driving Towards The Daylight, I Got All You Need, Heavenly Soul, and Somewhere Trouble Don t Go. Other tracks include Bonamassa s versions of Tom Waits New Coat Of Paint, Lonely Town Lonely Street, by Bill Withers (Lean On Me, Ain t No Sunshine) and A Place In My Heart by Bernie Marsden of White Snake (Here I Go Again). On the album closer, Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes sings lead vocals on his 1987 hit "Too Much Ain't Enough Love."

Currently available for sale on DVD and Blu-ray and airing on PBS and Palladia HD is the brand new Joe Bonamassa: Beacon Theatre Live From New York, which showcases the stunning sold-out two-night performance at New York City s legendary Beacon Theatre last November. Special guests include Paul Rodgers, John Hiatt and Beth Hart.

Bonamassa s other recent projects include the 2011 CD/DVD Live Over Europe as well as the sophomore album 2 from Black Country Communion, Bonamassa s hard rock band with Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Billy Idol). His last studio album, 2011 s Dust Bowl, is his best-selling album to date.

Dislocated Boy

I've been gone a long time
Lost in the seven seas.
Sail on, don't you come back
Until you learn the birds and the bees.
Who will you find waiting for you,
Squeeze blood into [in the?] wine.
Left to call my preacher
And my very lovely wife.
Chorus (1)
I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,
Roll me like a hurricane.
All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine.
Who done it, what's up, you said,
Sell me out why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.


I have thought to rise my dictions

And I've suffocated my pride.
(Be)fore you and I embarked on
One hell of a ride.
Boy, I've had these blues
Since I been six years old.
But tell me don't you worry
(A)bout my very heavy load.
Chorus (2)
And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,
Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass,
And one hell of a scar.
Broke down and hungry, you said so.
Sell me out, why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.


All I need is my old guitar,

And I'll play you the best damn blues.
Heavy affections, and I hate to lose.
Thirty-five years ago,
I was born on Robert Johnson's.
It's all been for you baby.
I'm gonna make it back someday.
Repeat Chorus (1)
So tell me about your working class hero, baby
Tell me 'bout your…
Mine was born in Mississippi, 'round 1923.
Blue collar flannel shirts
Was my Father's way.
Worked in a factory,
'Til his dying day.

Repeat Chorus (2)


Stones in My Passway

I got stones in my passway, and my road seem dark as night
I got stones in my passway, and my road seem dark as night
I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite
I have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing
Have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin', boy, but she don't mean a thing
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
And there's one thing certainly, they have stones all in my pass

Now you tryin' to take my life, and all my lovin' too
You laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do?
I'm cryin' please, please let us be friends
And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider, please open your door and let me in
I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my road
I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my road
I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I got to go.


Driving Towards the Daylight

Look upon? a mountain,
waitin' on a train.
Baby I know what's wrong,
and it's still happening.
Waiting on my destiny,
learning from my abilities.
Who was wrong and
who was right and
do we even know why we are fighting?
So take your eyes off of me
and look upon the churning sea.
(Chorus)
Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get back home.
Rusty strings on my old guitar,
speaks volumes of who you are.
So never did I think it was you
It was me, one of the chosen few
Who will it be, oh the next time?

Hopefully one with more sense of mind.
So where did you go?
Always will see,
it's a story of you and me.
Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get back home.
(Solo)
Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get my way home.
Driving towards the daylight,
running from that midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get my way home.


Who's Been Talking?

My baby caught the train, left me all alone
My baby caught the train, left me all alone
She knows I love her, she doin' me wrong
My baby bought the ticket, long as her right arm
My baby bought the ticket, long as my right arm
She says she's gonna ride, long as I been from home
Well who been talking, everything that I do
Well who been talking, everything that I do
Well you is my baby, I hate to lose
Well good bye baby, hate to see you go
Well good bye baby, hate to see you go
You know I love you, I'm the causin of it all
I'm the causin' of it all
I'm the causin' of it all
I'm the causin' of it all
I'm the causin' of it all.


(I Got) All You Need

I got bread for you when to get hungry
I got water for you when you went dry
I got good time when you get loathsome
I got Heaven before you die

[Chorus:]
I got all you need!
I got all you need!
And if you wanna have fun,
baby please make it to me!

I got heat for you, when you get cold, babe
I got air conditioning when you are warm
I got .. you get old, baby
I got protection, you get on

[Chorus:]
I got all you need
I got all you need
And if you wanna have fun,
baby please make it to me!

I got rhythm when you wanna dance, babe
I got a tailor when you need some clothes
I got love for you when you're getting...
I got money when you are broke!

[Chorus:]
I got all you need
I got all you need
And if you wanna have fun,
baby please make it to me!
I got all you need
I got all you need
I got all you need
And if you wanna have fun,
baby please make it to me!


A Place in My Heart

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
Sometimes I'm afraid now darling
I still look around for you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you
Here all along,
Sitting here with my boots
Alone cold and scared now baby
Whoa, I've been missing you
All the time I've been thinking
Everything we've been through
There's a place in my heart for you

Yes and I wonder, do you know how I feel baby
Believe me when I tell you now darling
This here is for real
Oh it's time for me to start over
Go and get something new
I'm so lost without you baby
I don't know what to do

[Guitar solo]

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
Sometimes I'm afraid now darling
I still look around for you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you

I've seen trouble come,
All the tears I've cried
Trouble coming baby
But time's on my side
There's a place in my heart, for you.


Lonely Town Lonely Street

You can live your life in a crowded city
You can walk along a crowded street
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly people
Friendly people that you meet
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty
And the dances you can't keep your seat
But, if dances don't lead to romances
You might as well be born, born with two left feet

You might be a sweet-toned sure enough high-class talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing
But it don't do much good to be talking
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listenin
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a lonely street.


Heavenly Soul

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Ready go, … please go
Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Ready go, … please go

I got … in my pantries, baking upon my shelf
I got … in my pantries, baking upon my shelf
Well I'm so damn tired, I've been by myself
Well I had a good moment but
…kind just drove away
Well I had a good moment but
…kind just drove away

In the summer 29, …send her away
Whoa, whoa,

[Guitar solo]

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old … go
Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old … go

I tried to forget her, act like a reckless man
So I tried to forget her, and act like a reckless man
Well I swallowed my pride, that … again
And my father told me, … myself
Well my father told, … myself
But in 200 my family would …
Whoa, whoa,

Whoa, I … a road, to fulfill my life
To this … that I always knew was ours
But I know …right now, I was gone

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old … go
Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old … go.


New Coat of Paint

Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' 'em down

You wear a dress
Baby I'll a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day
Our love needs a transfusion let's shoot it full of wine>
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line.

So let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set em' up, set em' up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress baby
I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
