“This live show represents our most progressive and largest production to date focusing on my most ambitious studio album to date, Time Clocks,” said Bonamma. “The iconic Kevin Shirley once again has produced both wonderful music and a wonderful visual.

Previous single and video releases are ‘Time Clocks’, the poignant title track of his most recent studio album; ‘Known Unknown’, a haunting track that weaves blues, soul, and Southern rock motifs to express the pain of a love gone wrong.
It’s about life,” Bonamassa said. “We all have this feeling as musicians; of an uncertainty and trepidation about moving forward, because everybody invested their whole lives into it and it’s not like you can say, oh I did music for six months and moved on to whatever. This is why we do this, so we don’t have to get up early and have a boss. That’s why I do it.”
Alyssa Bonagoura, co-wrote ‘Known Unknowns‘, as Bonamassa explained: “He came in with that amazing riff and a verse that I thought sounded like a chorus,” he said, “So we swapped them around, went a different direction with the verses and within an hour the song was done. It’s an honour that he asked me to write it with him and be on this album!”
You can stream ‘Known Unknowns‘ here and check out the video right at RAMzine, as you can ‘Mind’s Eye’, one of the standout tracks from his most recent No. 1 studio album Time Clocks.
As for the actual video to ‘Mind’s Eye’, “The song has a very Pink Floyd feel,” commented Roy Weisman, CEO of Bonamassa’s J&R Adventures label, upon the song’s original studio release. “The whole Time Clocks record is about a journey, and ‘Mind’s Eye’ gives you a fun glimpse of what could be swimming around inside someone’s mind.”The album will be distributed in the UK and Europe by Provogue/ Mascot Label Group.
