Who is joe Bonamassa?


Blues Boy Beats Music Industry Superstars

Different Shades Of Blue also earns #1 spots on Billboard’s Blues Chart and Indie Chart

Deerfield Beach, FL, October 1, 2014: In an incredibly competitive release week with 15 new entries in the top 30, blues-rock guitar hero Joe Bonamassa was able to outsell and beat multiple superstar artists on the Billboard Top 10 including Lenny Kravitz, Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, and Gary Clarke, Jr. with his brand new solo albumDifferent Shades Of Blue(J&R Adventures) debuting at #8 on Billboard’s Top 200. This is Bonamassas’s highest charting albumfirst top 10, and biggest sales week ever.

The album also earned #1spots on Billboard’s Indie Chart and Blues Chart. This is Bonamassa’s 13th #1 Blues album – more than any other artist.

Bonamassa’s Top 10 Debut was engineered by J&R Adventures, the label Bonamassa founded with longtime manager, Roy Weisman. It has divisions in publishing, management, and memorabilia and is branding itself as a disruptive and independent entity in the music business. By vertically integrating its business to meet the needs of the artist and the fans, it gives control to the artist and its management directly, rather than to a handful of outside individuals. From this, J&R Adventures has been able to compete against the major labels in the record industry to generate Bonamassa’s current top 10 chart position.

According to Billboard, “Different Shades of Blue is the highest-ranking blues album in almost two years.”

Buy Different Shades Of Bluehere: http://shop.jbonamassa.com/collections/different-shades-of-blue/products/different-shades-of-blue-cd

Download title track here: http://joeb.me/JBfreesongUMG

Different Shades of Blue is the first album of Bonamassa’s career to feature all original material and his first solo studio album in two years. He wrote it in Nashville with Jonathan Cain (Journey), James House (Diamond Rio, Dwight Yoakam, Martina McBride), Jeffrey SteeleGary Nicholson, and Jerry Flowers (Keith Urban). The digital album is distributed worldwide by INgrooves Music Group, as well as physical in the US.

The result is a record with more of an experimental edge than previous Bonamassa records. It’s a blues record that explores the outer reaches and the many different sounds that shape the genre.

Praise for Different Shades Of Blue:

Who is J Taylor's " Push & Pull "


Taylor

J. Taylor has been creating music since he was 13. He fell in love with music over the years of hearing Marvin Gaye and other old school artist as his grandmother cleaned their home while his mother was away at work. Music was his escape from the harsh reality of a child growing up with Alopecia.

 Greatly influenced by fellow Illinois native, Kanye West, J. Taylor first leap into music was as a producer, until he was asked to feature on a song.

“As soon as I heard my voice from the speakers, I knew this was what I wanted to do forever,” he says.”I admit it took a while for me to get comfortable with my voice, but seeing how others reacted to my lyrics gave me a feeling that I would never forget.”

In all efforts to keep his image authentic, he chose to use his real name as his stage name; J for Julius and Taylor, which is his last name. His musical sound has been self defined as "Feel Music", which is the art of freely expressing oneself through song. Many artists place themselves in an invisible box by sticking to one style of music or a particular genre. J. Taylor is not afraid to express himself or share his experiences through other genre other than Rap. He doesn't settle for just creating club music or party songs, but he shares his feelings of love, lust, and his own struggles. Hip Hop is not just a form of expression to him, but it is his profession and religion.
