The Joe Ferraro Band – Skinny Village

There's a serious groove going on in Joe's Blues! A wonderfully smooth and warm vocal tone leads the way as Joe blends funky beats and crisp guitar lines to forge his own sound, while paying homage to traditional Blues forms. This CD is an original twist to the tradition, as "Ripe Tomatoes" opens the window to Joe's unique take on the blues. A great little blues band from the high desert of Southern California, The Joe Ferraro Band plays original blues as well as covers tunes by artists ranging from Stevie-Ray to Louie Jordan. Joe Ferraro has been playin' and singin' the blues since the summer of love; doin' blues in a jazzy to straight ahead to Harvey Mandel fashion.
