Joe Bonamassa releases “Colour and Shape” video
Joe Bonamassa has released a new music video for “Colour and Shape.” The track which originally recorded for Bonamassa’s debut album, A New Day Yesterday, “Colour and Shape” has been remixed with newly recorded vocals for Bonamassa’s A New Day Now, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of A New Day Yesterday.
“The reason we went back and remixed it, and re-sang it, and pulled from the original masters was because I never felt like I deserved a guy like Tom Dowd to produce my first album,” says Bonamassa. “I was an infant as far as being an artist. Tom saw a little pebble in a stream, that could travel down and eventually become this nugget of gold, if you want to call it that, and he had a vision for me that I didn’t see. I appreciate that and I wanted to pay tribute to him as a man who mentored me through that time. I hope you guys enjoy it.”
Producer Kevin Shirley added, “as time has gone by, Joe’s vocal style, particularly, has changed enormously. He’s grown from an adolescent shouter to a very mature and soulful singer. From early on in our working relationship, Joe has mentioned that he would really like to have another shot at those vocals, and asked that if he did redo them, would I remix his first solo album.”
