"Bonamassa's Reverent Nod to Hero B.B. King Hits 100th Birthday Milestone"
(New Release)
Written by: Jake Beach
Joe Bonamassa, one of modern blues’ most prolific torchbearers, has released a new EP paying tribute to his greatest hero: B.B. King. Titled B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, Vol. 1, the project arrives as part of the centennial celebrations of King’s birth, honoring the man whose guitar tone and stage presence reshaped the sound of the blues.
The EP sees Bonamassa revisiting King’s repertoire with fiery precision and reverence, balancing faithful interpretations with his own signature phrasing. Recorded live in the studio with his touring band, the collection emphasizes the dialogue between guitar and voice—a hallmark of King’s enduring style.
“This is about legacy,” Bonamassa has said in interviews, noting that B.B. King not only inspired his playing but shaped the way he approaches the blues as storytelling. The release also serves as the opening chapter in what Bonamassa hints will be a series, with Vol. 1 standing as both a celebration and a promise of more explorations to come.
For fans of modern blues guitar and students of King’s timeless influence, this EP is both a tribute and a fresh performance piece. Bonamassa isn’t just covering King—he’s continuing the conversation.
