Title: Strong Like Bull, But Sensitive Like Squirrel
Review: If you are searching for some great steel guitar instrumental music that goes in a different direction from the usual steel, this Joe Goldmark CD is totally enjoyable. By "different direction" I am referring to other than "country". Joe writes and plays a lot of his own wonderful rock and pop originals, plus throws in some offbeat covers. He plays a wacky version of the jazz standard "Take Five," but plays it in 4/4 time, and does a beautiful version of Brian Wilson's "Bells Of Madness." He also does a strong cover of the Blind Faith "Presence Of The Lord," and ends the album with Elvis Costello's "Peace Love and Understanding." As you can see, this is not your standard country steel album, but I would bet the ranch that even pure country enthusiasts will come around to this one too.
