‘It arguably showcases her world-class talent better than the others, simply because, unfettered from the practical concerns of a session, she can – and – does pursue this music for its own sake. With Bonamassa and Smith assisting, Connor’s performance offers her iconic playing, delivered with joyful abandon and plenty of attitude,” states ALL MUSIC (2021 Album Review for ‘4801 South Indiana Avenue’).
Award Winning Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter JOANNA CONNOR has shared stages with Blues, Rock and Jazz greats, including Luther Allison, BB King, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Robben Ford, Danny Gatton, Robert Cray, Jimmy Page, ZZ Top, Joe Cocker, Etta James, and many others. Connor's most recent album, '4801 South Indiana' (2021) is a record that delivers all the raw emotion, passion, and fire that made the Blues so compelling for Joanna from its inception. Joe Bonamassa did not merely produce, arrange, and play on the record, he enabled and inspired Joanna to pull from deep within her all of what her life in music had given her. While steeped in tradition, the recording is no museum piece, it is alive and it is kicking, once-in-a-lifetime Blues. "'4801 South Indiana Avenue' is a career-defining record for Joanna Connor. It's an album that'll be remembered for decades to come and everyone who lives for true, from-the-guts blues needs to hear it," raves ROCK & BLUES MUSE.
