Topic: How about this ? Joe's top 12 !!

So, the diehards know Joe has 12 studio albums, so I thought I'd give us all a chance to re-live our Joe glory days by picking our favorite tune from each of his first 12 efforts. I'm really interested what the real Joe fans like me, enjoy. So here's mine:
1.ANDY-If Heartaches were Nickels
2. So, It's like That-Pain & Sorrow
3. Blues Deluxe-Woke up Dreaming
4. Had to Cry Today-The River
5. You and Me-Your Funeral, My Trial
6. Sloe Gin-Sloe Gin
7. Ballad of John Henry-Happier Times
8. Black Rock-Where the Fire Meets the Sea
9. Dust Bowl-Dust Bowl
10. DTTD-Who's Been Talkin'?
11. Different Shades of Blue-Love Ain't a Love Song
12. Blues of Desperation-You Left me Nothin but the Bills and the Blues

Have fun...One favorite from each disc.... The 2 songs it pains me to leave of the list are Blues Deluxe, and Reconsider Baby, but I have to follow my one per disc rule ! Tough.

I am totally with you, Pat.  Except I gave up trying long ago.  Basically I'd just list all albums and their entire contents.

ZeyerGTR, whazziz???!!! You don't own "Had To Cry Today?!" yikes Somebody get that man the album A.S.A.P.!!!  I think we met in Florida a couple years ago...If I knew you were lacking that album I would have hooked you up. smile  It's certainly a must have.

Rockpalast is and always will be this AMAZING live show, with more jamming "per square inch" than any other video I have ever seen. Anyone who does not possess this 3 piece gem should get it. One of a kind!
