The music gives to the listener in every human way possible. Wow! I feel a lot of love coming from this guy. It also rocks with excellence. Right on! I need more of this stuff.

Poignant, moving, sensitive. He has his hand on the pulse of what we all feel Reviewer: P Daniel This is a poignant and sensitive study of issues with which every one of us can relate at one or all points in our lives. It moves and soothes where it is supposed to soothe and rocks where it is supposed to rock. Joe's emotions have been there and back and he has finally gotten around to singing to us about them. It's about time!
