Ohio blues guitarist extraordinare Joe Bongiovanni's three word note to me today of "got any blues?" is a little like asking a chef if there's any food in the kitchen.   The answer was not at the moment but an hour or so later I was sending him this fun original ..Smokin' with Joe, created for the moment 

There are very few guitarists who can bring what Joe does to the blues - he's a many time finalist performing in the famous International Blues Challenge in Nashville, TN.  So an honor to be asked and then recording with Joe again.  Gorgeous playing as you will see - Joe's playing his Les Paul here - and I follow it up with a little Hammond Organ.  
We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Check out Joe's soulful and emotional playing here:  https://soundcloud.com/joe-bongiovanni

And here's a playlist of our tunes we have recorded together here - so many favorites. https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/jammin-with-joe-bongiovanni-1  

Keep asking me Joe.  Smokin' Joe!

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.
