The tour announcement arrives just days after Bonamassa released Breakthrough, his most adventurous and genre-defying, and emotionally resonant effort to date. Out now on J&R Adventures, his 17th studio album, spans genre and geography, blending global influences with deeply personal songwriting and, of course, Bonamassa’s signature guitar mastery. Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Shirley and co-written with Tom Hambridge, James House and Gary Nicholson, Breakthrough has already earned critical acclaim for its stylistic boldness and mature songcraft. Order the new album HERE and watch the official music video for the latest single “Broken Record” NOW. Early reviews for Breakthrough have been overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising both its artistic range and emotional depth. Premier Guitar featured Bonamassa on its cover and called Breakthrough a “full-hearted essay in expressive playing and singing,” noting the album’s balance between “hard-edged, riff-driven” rock and “classic soul-pop.” Blues Rock Review awarded it 9.5/10 stars, calling it “an amazing record that promises to become a classic” and highlighting its “immaculate collection of timeless music.” Cryptic Rock called it “a decisive, intentional, forward-looking statement” and praised its “richly diverse sound.” At the same time, Rock and Blues Muse hailed it as “another keeper” and “one of Bonamassa’s finest.” |
