It's hard to say which one I like better. I love Eric but I love Carmine as well so I don't know. It's good that Joe's sound is evolving and changing. There is nothing worse than when an artist tries to survive doing the same thing over and over again. Fans get bored and you never can tell where they could have gone. I love that we can always expect new things from Joe and go to shows and never be disappointed.
It's kind of like a Hendrix/ Band of Gypsies thing or Clapton/Cream... Great artists thrive in changes of scenery with other artists that challenge them. I'd say Joe is at the top of his game right now and I'm happy.
I do agree... I wish I could have seen the trio when they were touring, but I'm so glad that I've been able to see this lineup twice this year and look forward to the new CD and tour.
Thanks for the input Geko!!!
