Hey all ...
Just about to release my next musical rant, Truth & Twang .
It's a little louder and a little dirtier than the last few have been.
Cut it at my usual digs, the Eight Track Shack, using lotsa tube and ribbon
junk. It's mostly me bangin' and hackin' away, but my good buddy Charlie
Hase plays some smokin' lap steel on a few cuts and there's a track from
one of my old bands, The Wessons, that I Joe-a-fied a wee bit. Plus there's
one written by my pal Steve Ketchen of the Kensington Hillbillys.
And a Tom Waits cover - kinda 'Johnny Cashed' up little.
It'll be out on Dusty Records in Europe this September, then later in the year
on Reliable Records in Canada and at CD Baby and ITunes worldwide.
Me and the boys will be hittin' the road starting October 2. We'll spend the
fall in Sweden, UK and Canada before heading south to the US in the Spring
2010. Can't Wait !
Hi Joe, thanks a lot. There's a good twang in your powerful songs. I really like them. Six Foot Suit is my favorite on the rockin' side and Beautiful Lies is one for the heart. Great! Maybe you play a show in my neighborhood some time. All best wishes and much success. LB
Hey Joe! Vanja & I are having Olle Schelander over forthcoming Saturday for some TexMex food and cold beers. Fattening him up: giving him energy for The Big Calgary Project!
We're already looking forward to hear what you will record in February: I understand you will do it all in YOUR studio, and since your own CD's sound great...
Best of luck with everything! I can see in your Gig List that Sweden IS planned for autumn - I hope a Göteborg gig will turn up there as well!
