About a year ago, Joe gave me a copy of his “funeral music” album that he recorded with long-time bandmate Bob Hart. I can safely (and cheerfully) tell you there is not one peppy upbeat song on the whole album (as you can hear this moment). What we have here is eleven soulfully-well-executed compositions from a man reflecting on his existence. Hail thou Homo Sapien! They are not really sad, they are not desperate, but there is a yearning aloneness to them. Joe made a few discs for friends and let this wander off into obscurity. Well say I, rise again Brother Joe! Your obscurity is incomplete. Joe is now entering the pantheon of GMR superstars and will be heard worldwide. From Bandcamp, from Spotify, from Amazon, from Apple, let Joe Cason stream!
