At the age of 36, Joe Bonamassa has put together quite the collection of material. With 10 studio albums in the can, several live albums/DVDs, and releases with Beth Hart and Black Country Communion, Bonamassa has certainly recorded some good songs. As a new studio album is set to be released this year, we break down Bonamassa’s top 10 songs to date. 10. “Prisoner” “Prisoner” was the album closer on Dust Bowl and is a Barbra Streisand cover. The song saw Joe return to a Strat and features one of his best vocal performances. It’s clear producer Kevin Shirley challenged Joe on the track and Bonamassa rose to the occasion. Hopefully we’ll get the chance to hear the song live some day.

The song was recorded for Blues Deluxe and is a highlight of the live show with Bonamassa playing solo on an acoustic. The live performance gives the listener a great appreciation for his playing.

The song flat out rocks and is a great display of Bonamassa’s rock prowess and guitar wizardry.
