I've heard him with Jim Compilongo and the 10 gallon hats - very cool. Plays pedal steel western swing but has more of a straight ahead blues guitar sound as well.

Love his playing - not just "bluesy", but has a bounce to it that many players never can find. Really good stuff!

Right, it's not blues -rocky like Robert Randolph (who I also like), but he has a rootsy sound that avoids PSG cliche licks that are otherwise all you hear on nashville countrypop.

I have all his CDs. They're all excellent but my favorite is "All over The road" which contains songs by Hendrix and Zappa, among others.

You'd be surprised. When Joe backs up a country singer, he plays all the Nashville country stuff too, and he does an excellent job when he does.

I believe he is on a "Twangbangers" CD with Redd Volkhaert I have.
Cool playing!

None of his samples on the link above have anything but fairly standard sounding steel (although quite good). Can anyone post a sample or link of some of his blues guitar type steel?

I second that. Joe's version of "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" knocks me out every time I hear it.

Joe, I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't heard you play since you recorded at my house in San Jose many moons ago, but I knew at the time that you'd become something special. Apparently that has come to pass ....

Mike...
I'll second that. I love the "All Over the Road" album. I've only got it on Cassette and I've almost worn it out.
