:: Release Notes:
::
:: Joe worked his way through the early days in the city
:: hardware store, in the freight yards of Virginia, gigging in
:: clubs when he was 14. He grew up on Johnny Cash, Waylon
:: Jennings, James Brown, Monk and Rollins. The only white kid
:: in a soul band, he toured the South back in the day when that
:: just wasn't done. The group, Wayne and the Exceptions,
:: recorded "Have Faith" which got to "#34 with a bullet" its
:: first week on the black AM stations. Then the label pulled
:: it. Depressed and downhearted he took to cloud nine.
:: Joe found his way up North to film school and started
:: building sound tracks for industrial and feature films. That
:: went real well for years until it didn't.
:: Original songs started to flow from Joe's pen not for
:: projects, just because. Two new albums and they're still
:: coming. These songs are his best work. You can taste the
:: urban and down home flavors mixing well in every piece. It's
:: all about the groove, but the lyrics'll get ya'.
:: Slam in a disc and drive. You'll see.
:: And check out Joe's friends on the album. Including Grammy
:: winner Johnny Lee Schell who's played with Bonnie Raitt and
:: John Fogarty. Mike Finnigan on B3 whose credits go back to
:: Electric Lady Land with Jimmy Hendrix, currently on the road
:: with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Greg Leisz, pedal steel, who's
:: frequently traveling with K.D. Laing. The recording and
:: musicianship are absolutely first string!
