Title: SOUNDS LIKE JOE, TRYING TO SOUND LIKE JOE
Review: This is the crux Joe is at now. He can't quite achieve the dynamic energy level he once had when he performed these songs on a regular basis. And it seems no one has told him this yet. The result is a mixed bag of familiar tunes, with Joe sounding a bit unconvinced about material he once sang so...convincingly. While the playing is fairly tight, and Joe does show flashes of the old Joe here and there, this is still for me, an unsatisfying album.
Is the review positive or negative?
