It's a sign of Joe Bonamassa's increasing profile that he got blues legend B.B. King to guest on his eighth album Black Rock — and if what you're doing is good enough to rope B.B. in, there’s not much reason to change, so Bonamassa doesn't tinker with his formula here, retaining a little of the folky undertow of The Ballad of John Henry, but with its remaining roots in a thick, heavy blues-rock more redolent of '60s London than the '50s Delta. Of course, Bonamassa has never shied away from his love of Brit-blues, even underscoring it with a good streamlined cover of Jeff Beck's “Spanish Blues,” but he retains a healthy respect for all manners of classic blues, kicking out a Chicago groove on a cover of Otis Rush’s “Three Times a Fool,” reaching back to Blind Boy Fuller for “Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind” and ably replicating B.B.’s latter-day soul groove on a horn-smacked cover of Willie Nelson’s “Night Life.” Bonamassa has an ear for non-blues writers too, cherrypicking Leonard Cohen’s “Bird on a Wire” and John Hiatt's “I Know a Place,” tying it all together with beefy lead lines, but the provocative moments on Black Rock are all self-penned, whether it's the clattering stomp “When the Fire Hits the Sea,” the British folk lilt of “Quarryman's Lament” and “Athens to Athens,” or the droning dramatic epic “Blue and Evil.” These are easily the most intriguing songs here, suggesting Bonamassa realizes that the familiar covers allow him to stretch out elsewhere, and while it might be interesting hearing him follow this path for a full album, what’s here on Black Rock is both satisfying and admirably, if reservedly, ambitious.

For those who can read and understand Adobe Audition, this is a re-converted copy and not a straight 320 copy. Unfortunally.

First, let me tell you that this is not my rip or me that reconverted (in case it was), I got this rip from torrent and here is the link to prove it "http://www.demonoid.com/files/download/2169116/19858284".
Second, how can you be so sure that this is a reconverted file? I didn't analyse the files before I post and seing it with spectro now, only thing I can say is the frequency goes till 19.5 KHz. In theory this frequency should be a little over than 20 KHz but as I don't own the original to see the frequencies in there, I can't say this is reconverted, cause you can't have, what the source can't give you.
Anyway, converted or not, it's a nice rip and sounds great.

By the way dreumis, you probably have the biggest blues collection around, why don't you share some of your albums with us? Avax is not only to download and complain :)

By mistake I didn't include in RAR file these pictures:

Quarryman's Lament caught my attention. Some Irish folk air to it. Let's see if there's more of it in the other songs. Thanks for sharing!
