He’s Supported By Four Musicians All Playing A Variety Of Old-Timey Acoustic Instruments Banjo Fiddle Harmonium Mandola And Naturally Nickel Harp Surrounded Himself With Ten Acoustic Guitars And Dobro And Plays A Marathon Set List Of 20 Songs. All This Space Does Indeed Give Bonamassa Ample Space To Demonstrate He’s Skilled At Being More Than Just A Jacked-Up Electric Blues Guitarist Splicing Together Strands Of SRV And Clapton. He Sounds Comfortable In This Setting Perhaps Even A Little Liberated Turning His Songs Into Country-Blues And Back-Porch Stomps. There Are Enough New Colors And Textures To Turn The Ear Of Skeptics Who May Get A Little Weary Of Bonamassa’s Never-Ending String Of Releases At Least Two A Year Every Year Of The 2010s So Far But The Concert Itself Is Also In Danger Of Being Too Much Of A Good Thing Lasting Almost Two Hours In Its DVD/BluRay Incarnation And Both Have Additional Hour-Long Making-Of Documentaries . The CD Is Shorter And Contains Judiciously Selected Highlights So The Casual Fans Can Turn There But Really Anybody Who Is A Serious Bonamassa Head Will Not Be Disappointed With This Acoustic Concert Which Offers More Different And Interesting Sounds Than Any Other Previous Bonamassa Album.
