I bought this Jerry Joseph album on the basis of Jeff Anderson's recommendation and a quick view of a U-tube guitar solo. Good reproduction quality. Echoes of Ry Cooder in the vocals, I think. Anyway, I'm enjoying this so thanks, Jeff.
Conscious Contact is sitting on the table awaiting a play too.

You are welcome, Mike. Everything Was Beautiful is pretty much Jerry and the producer Pete Droge doing all the playing and singing if I remember correctly. Conscious Contact is a little more like the trio sounded live around 2002, although that is somewhat mute as those two members on Conscious Contact are gone from the band which is now a four-piece as in the video. regards, Jeff A

What's your verdict... ?
Bert sorry I cannot say as it isn't out until late July here.

But you published it as something you listened to, so I assumed you had a first impression.....

Bert, Ewen is still involved with and has ties to the music industry. He gets to listen to hundreds of albums before they are due for release. He is not permitted to say what he thinks of them until after they have been released.

Very good SQ. Violin solos including some less-commonly performed pieces from Nicola Matteis and Johann G. Pisendel.

Airbag, Disconnected via Tidal as the CD has not landed yet.
The album was released today and this is my first listen and so far it is very very good. Good quality Prog, love it.

3Rd time now and this gets better every time.
