    I had the distinct privilege to tour with Joe and play keys in his band. Without a doubt one of the greatest country voices I've ever heard. Spot on every night. Many of these so-called country artists today could stand to learn a few things about singing from guys like Joe!

    Another one of my all time favorites from Joe, and a great example of what made him one of the best of the early 90's Neo-Traditionalists, imo.

      The 90s is the decade of the best country music. We were spoiled rotten for a good 10-15 years. Even some legends like the Hag and the possum were still making great music. There is no such thing as country music radio stations anymore. So I will stick to you tube and live in the late 80s and 90s the rest of my days.

I was a DJ while I work my way through the police academy so I can stand some power rock music but that's about all power Rock😅 there is a close relationship between country and power Rock they both tell a story story and they're both a form of the blues

      It's nice to hear someone with similar views!! No one ever gives credit to the late 80's to early 90's era. Country had its greatest sound during this period, as I argued once in a college paper! It had just figured out how to refine & get that perfect sound --not too pop but traditional sounds remained dominant! It died when Garth & Shania's sound started forcing Country to change it's sound.

    Joe hit an extremely high note for a baritone. Hit #2 in Billboard, 3-2-90. God bless!
