Had To (Figuratively) Jump For Joy Today

It's unofficially official........the Joe and the band won BluesWax Magazine's Artist of the Year award! And, to make things even sweeter, "Had To Cry Today" won Album of the Year!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

We found out last night when Joe posted his thanks to the fans:

Hey Everybody,
I just wanted to say that thanks all of you out there we have been named Blueswax "artist of the year" and " Had to Cry Today" was named album of the year. I am very humbled by how many people signed up and voted for me. I really cant thank you enough. You all are the best. I am home working on material for the new album and getting ready to go back out in a couple of weeks.
Again thanks for the being the greatest!!!
Sincerely
Joe Bonamassa
