Caveman's Diary Update (Page 2 of 5)

Wow, great that Joe FINALLY got the respect from Mr. Clapton himself! Can you say "Crossroads"?! Better start saving even MORE money now!

Well, the Live Album - when Issy and I met Joe in Berlin, Joe was interviewed for a Turkish magazine and was asked about new releases coming up. So he talked about some songs being half ready for the recording of the new album in May and said that it will probably come out 2009.
So I asked "What about the Live album?" and Joe said something very similar ... that it´s all not completely sure yet. To me personally he sounded like the album will come out but maybe not in June and maybe not the way it is now ... he didn´t say that, but he sounded like he´s not completely content with it yet. But that´s just my impression.
Let´s hope for the best!

Great news...I think it's so cool that Joe got to meet EC and needed a couple drinks to bring him back to Terra Firma!
Way to go Joe!

And me Millhouse.
I love those behind the scenes looks. I think it helps to "understand"the music better.

Very good news!!!

EC will have a very positive influence on Joe's career if they will do something together or when he mentiones him in magazines etc.

Crossroads would really be great.

Hope Joe will tell some more about it when he returnes to the USA.

I downloaded the Itunes "ep" of Shepherds Bush, basically becasue I was there in the front row with Michael, it would be "studio quality" and it would bring back lots of memories - and it did too! I have sat back a little since, reflected on what's happened over the last couple of months and the comment on Kevin's website didn't come as a great surprise to me.

There was a delay with Sloe Gin if you remember, probably for different reasons! I'm more of the opinion now however, that Joe is taking a month off touring and is probably scheduled to spend some time with Kevin in the Studio, probably with Rick, Carmine and Anton / Bogie working on some new stuff. Only when he has had time to "catch his breath" and see what they can produce that's new, will he make a decision on wehther to release a new album or the live double album they have all but completed. Let's face it, whether we like it or not, there is planty of live stuff out there, some of it pretty tasty too, to satisfy the rabid Joe fan, plus lots of live footage on You tube, which dispite it's poor quality (no offence Michael) it's not studio or commercial quality but it's what has got a lot of us baying for more. My feeling is there will be a new studio album before the end of the year and the preferred live album will be of the Royal Albert Hall Performance(s)?. Nowhere in particular may, or may not, follow at a later day.

Just my three penneth, but what do I know!

Well where online did you find that rumor Lee?  I'd doubt seriously it is cancelled altogether.  I had doubts about a live release prior to a follow-up to Sloe Gin, thinking it would be OK to have us offered a live release of retro-active material after a new release lacking in anything to be found in the subsequent live release.  We can start the speculation game, which is always fun or more often funny, at the very least entertaining or entertaining pipe dreams,...when no one knows including Joe himself!!!

Me three.  Ponder the fact a behind the scenes being part of the project AT ALL a bit and for a mesmerizing spell... Perhaps this is not going to be "JUST"another "hit it out of the park" effort by Joe & Co. & Caveman...
Maybe they are "shootzing the moon" this time around.
Eh ?!

Well Provogue getting "early bird" treatment has been a mainstay for a while now, so that cat has been roaming the forum back alley for a while now anyway-nice find to bring it to the forefront Lee.  To the point though, their site has cancelled ONLY the planned release date and have no further info... Long time fans know, this is pure Joe doing what he does best, thinking before, during, and even after acting, always reserving the right of self-determination...You find anything new out, hit us with the update.  Thanks Lee. 

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
