Joe Bonamassa Releases New Live Rendition of ‘Time Clocks’

Three-Time Grammy nominated guitarist and 25x Billboard chart-topper Joe Bonamassa releases a new live rendition of ‘Time Clocks’ the title track of his recent studio album.

Featured on ‘Tales of Time,’ his sprawling and expansive live concert film and album shot at the breathtaking Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, the epic 7+ performance finds the blues-rock superstar at his most expressive and ambitious, casting a spell of pure timelessness over the enraptured crowd. As the heart on sleeve narrative plays out in front of a stunning visual backdrop that served to highlight the beauty of the music, the rousing chorus rises as Bonamassa sings, “and the rain soaking through my coat, about to capsize my boat I push it along away from the docks, I was never a good puncher of time clocks.”

“Time Clocks” is an anthem for everyone who doesn’t fit into the workaday world and has had to make their own way through life. It’s one of Bonamassa’s most intensely personal and emotional songs and it’s clear he telling his own story as well as many of ours. The track is arguably his most potent vocal performance of the Red Rocks show and his pedal steel licks on a B-Bender Telecaster ring sweet and true. Of course, his mighty band punches up to his level and makes “Time Clocks” the highlight of an already-incredible night. It proves yet again why Bonamassa is the top man in the modern scene. Highly recommended.

Out April 14, 2023 via Bonamassa’s J&R Adventures, in CD/DVD, CD/BR, vinyl, and digital formats, ‘Tales Of Time’ captures a stratospheric performance by the blues-rock titan, as his virtuoso guitar style and unique technique and flair elevate the evening to an almost heavenly high. This incredible undertaking was produced by long-time collaborator and producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Journey).

“This live show represents our most progressive and largest production to date, focusing on my most ambitious studio album to date,” commented Bonamassa. “My band was a force of nature on this show, and it truly was a special night.” For more information and to pre-order, visit Here
