You & Me (Joe Bonamassa album)
Introduction '''''You & Me''''' is the fifth studio album by American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. Produced by Kevin Shirley, it was released on June 6, 2006 by J&R Adventures and topped the US ''Billboard'' Top Blues Albums chart. It is Bonamassa's first album not to contain a title track.
Reception Music website Allmusic gave ''You & Me'' 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Hal Horowitz calling the album "a solid blues-rock release and arguably his best work to date", but also an album "that doesn't take the chances that he claims might push the guitarist into uncharted territory". Music magazine ''Prefix'' published their review with a rating of four out of ten, criticising the indulgence of the style of music displayed on the album as displayed in the many guitar solos.
