Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> has had a long, rich line of guitarists play in his band<\/a>, but Joe Bonamassa was left baffled when he was asked to join that lineage in 2005.<\/p>\n

The besuited bluesman was four albums deep into his career at that time, aged around 27, having played his first gig, supporting B.B. King<\/a>, some 15 years before that. He\u2019d been around long enough, it seems, to have caught the vocalist\u2019s eye, who consequently approached him for a cover of Buffalo Springfield\u2019s For What It\u2019s Worth. <\/em>It was set to feature on the Prince of Darkness\u2019 covers album, Under Cover<\/em>.<\/p>\n
