Almost a year to the day since he released Black Rock and fewer than nine months since Black Country Communion’s debut album, Joe Bonamassa has once more turned out an album of pure quality that will appeal to the Blues Rock fan but also to the wide reaching music lover everywhere.

Dust Bowl has all the qualities that you would associate with one of the most laid back guys in Blues, he may be a man of very few words but his fingers do more than just talk for him, they simply ooze conversation without so much pausing for breath. From the opening track of Slow Train, Joe takes the listener on a slow bound journey calling at all stops including inspiration, joy and appreciation.
