Glad you linked to it in your latest Joe-post. This is also good music to drive your neighbors nuts with. Must be turned all the up. The talent of this man is just beyond belief.

I became an immediate fan and follower even before the second act; Kenny Wayne Shepherd. If possible, by the time Kenny Wayne finished his set, I was even more impressed with Joe because I thought he was better than Kenny Wayne was. One of the drawbacks in being a supporter of live music is as the musician/band become more popular they start playing in bigger venues. The second time I saw Joe was at a very small bar in Atlanta where I could talk to him between sets. The last time Joe played Atlanta was at Center Stage; a 1,100-seat venue. Oh well, Joe’s artistry deserves a much larger following. Although I am a fan of power blues-rock, it is great to hear Joe is returning to mainly blues on John Henry. [BTW, keep a look out for the revamped power-trio Back Door Slam; now known as Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam. Davy returns this spring/summer and will open for Jeff Beck as well as solo appearances. I assume Davy will be promoting his sophomore album produced by Peter Frampton.] Back to Joe – although Joe’s originals (e.g., Bridge to Better Days from You & Me) are great, I burn compilation CDs and like to include originals followed with covers. Two of my favorites are Steve Winwood’s (Blind Faith) Had to Cry Today (also album title) and John Lee Hooker’s Burning Hell from the Blues Deluxe album.

I'm amazed. I just got this album and can't wait to give it a proper listen-to. Keep 'em coming! First visit to the site, and I have to say, I'll keep coming back. Thanks for this post! I’m amazed.

Glad you enjoyed the post... Joe is playing in Tucson this Wednesday night. I think that's about a 2 or 3 hour drive for you. Short notice, but thought you'd like to know... Also Las Vegas at the House of Blues tomorrow night. Me Me– Always like when you stop by and say hello. Glad you enjoyed the post… Joe is playing in Tucson this Wednesday night.
