Today, he leads the charge as one the finest blues and rock players around. They sound better than the originals! Check them out below! Of all the many blues guitar greats with whom Bonamassa has developed close friendships, perhaps none were greater than his friendship with B. Bonamassa opened for King in as a year-old prodigy, and King's songs have remained a standard part of Bonamassa's repertoire ever since. Perhaps the most amazing part of this live version of "The Thrill Is Gone" is how comfortable Bonamassa seems with the song. He perfectly replicates both the smoothness and powerful, vivid sadness that made this song perhaps King's finest. With his trusty Les Paul in hand, Bonamassa dives into a stellar solo at the three-minute mark.
