Redemption announced (Page 3 of 4)

WOW!!!
Just walked into Sunrise Records Canada.

Redemption is selling for $24.99 cdn!!!!

Wow

My CD has been dispatched, so hopefully arrive in a few days.
I get the impression it’s more Blues than Rock.

Lester

I've finally had a chance to listen through a couple times, I'm *really* digging it.  My top 5 so far (and it's hard to pick just 5 favorites):
Self-Inflicted Wounds
Stronger Now In Broken Places
Just 'Cos You Can Don't Mean You Should
King Bee Shakedown
Pick Up The Pieces

I also love Molly O, Evil Mama, Ghost of Macon Jones...

There isn't a bad song on the record, though.  Joe is on an absolute roll.  I've thought every record since (and including) Different Shades of Blue has been his best, and this carries on the trend.  The title track is probably my least favorite song on the record, interestingly, but it's still cool.

Redemption seems to be his most bluesy effort in a long time, but there are a lot of influences present to keep it interesting. His writing continues to be strong.  The record sounds great, too, as expected.  The arrangements, production, and mix are all top-notch.  Definitely a highlight album of the year so far.

As for the Target bonus tracks, I *really* like Black Roses.  That's a killer song.  I also like the 'full band' version of 'Stronger Now In Broken Places'.  It's a really nice complement to the acoustic & sparse album version, just to hear how the same song can be done so differently.

Enormous, huge Thank you to Guido Hogendoorn who posted this on FB fan page: Joe introduces and talks about each song from "Redemption" on SiriusXM radio

Love this song, video is so cool ( ahrrr... how can one be so astonishingly cool and charismatic?.. you all know who am I talkin about }
Just a thought: can easily imagine Joe landing part in a movie.

It’s a great CD to listen to, not too keen on “mind over matters” but everything else is great.
I would have liked at least one (long) guitar solo.
There’s no track that really stands out but that’s probably because they are all so good.
I’m more accepting of the horns and backing vocals on this CD, although I personally would like to see a return to a three/four piece band next time round.
As per usual, Caveman has done a great job putting it all together.
Certainly his best work with the current line-up.

Lester...

No trio only as one off in my city.  Same with 4 piece.  Well, maybe a quartet doesn’t have to play in my town...but still a one off.

Now to get serious: Pump UP THE Irchestra.  That way the Entertainment Event is highest class, highest value per high valued currency denomination anywhere.  Albums are cheap.  Live Entertainment is not.

Whatever Crossroads taken or forsaken, Rock ON  I know is guaranteed and the cell phones will have some tales spreading like autumn leaves to the cyber four winds.

Rock ON & DO ENJOY The Redemtption & Keep The Faith,
Rocket
