Re: favorite Joe song that's a deep cut

Most tracks from A New Day Yesterday, like "Headaches to Heatbreaks", "Trouble Waitin", "Current Situation", etc. I also enjoy "Unbroken" and "Takin The Hit" from SILT. I love "Revenge of the 10 Gallon Hat" from HTCT, "Dirt in my Pocket" from Sloe Gin, I agree with "Funkier than a mosquito's tweeter" and I add "As the Crow Flies" from TBOJH, from Black Rock, "Quarryman's Lament", "Three Times A Fool", "Night Time (with BB King)", and "Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind" and "The Last Matador of Bayonne" from Dust Bowl

I'm broke, motherf**ker!

to me deep cuts remind me of what they never play on the radio. with Joe's tunes, its a sore subject with me to say the least!
so do you just mean something toward the end of the album?
if so i would go with Pain and Sorrow (9) Taking the Hit (10) although both got tons of setlist action
Mumbling Word (12)
Too Much Ain't Enough(11)
When the Sun Goes Down ! (10)
Richmond (10)
Blue and Evil (12)
Sista Jane (11)
Cold (11)
Since You're Gone (10)

Yes songs that are towards the bottom of the album.

Re: favorite Joe song that's a deep cut

I considered deep cuts songs that were never played live (or few times a long time ago) or have never been in the spotlight of the fans/talk, etc... songs that are out of the radar!

Re: favorite Joe song that's a deep cut

Funkier than...Is one of my wife's favorite Joe songs.  We like going out to the local bar and play pool, once in a while.  I know at some point she is going to be at the juke box and one of the songs is going to be Funkier than...

The only thing we deserve, is an opportunity.  Everything else has to be earned.

Now we're getting somewhere!  You voided going plural, while not gouging out grit from the deep crevices of coveralls, but instead the Sunday best dress pleaded pants,..."Dirt In My Pocket" is a fracking gas! tongue

I'll suggest people try putting on headphones and take a deep, dark listen to "Wandering Earth."  Beware of the IED (infernal emotional designs), you are cutting deeply close to hell.

I think that's a great call.  I'd also suggest "I Know A Place" - one of my favorite tracks on Black Rock.  Killer solo, great lyrics - just a powerful and dark song.

I like to think they're all deep tracks, but maybe that's because I've always been a deep kind of guy...and Joe's deep commitment does indeed Strike A Deep Chord. wink

I went even "deeper" in the slow blues topic we just had with "From The Valley," so it could've been here, as well as "Wandering Earth" could've been in that slow blues thread. cool

Oh man.....it's getting real deep around here!

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?
