Joe Bonamassa Covers Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf on New DVD — Video
“They always try to write off the blues. Well, we’ve proven tonight that at least 9,000 people like the blues.”
So says Joe Bonamassa on Joe Bonamassa: Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks, a new live CD, DVD and Blu-ray that will be released March 24.
The shows were recorded last Labor Day weekend, when Bonamassa and his band performed a tribute to blues legends Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.
