The Ballad of John Henry

The Ballad of John Henry is the seventh studio album by the American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. Produced by Kevin Shirley, it was released on 24 February 2009 by J&R Adventures and topped the US Billboard Top Blues Albums chart.

The 2009 fan favourite includes a bonus track – B.B. King’s “Chains and Things.” Bonamassa’s seventh studio album saw him steamroll into another US Billboard Blues #1 as well as it making waves across the charts around Europe. Well on his way to becoming a superstar, several Bonamassa originals adorn the album as well as covers of Tom Waits, Sam Brown and Ike and Tina Turner, highlighting the sheer scope of his palette.
