New MTC member RetroJoe is the inspiration here. Lots of songs by people called Joe or that have Joe in the title. From what I have seen of his mixes so far, RetroJoe might not like everything here, but I think there are a few he may approve of!

| 2 | Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros : Get Down Moses |
|
My favorite Joe of all time. A friend who was having trouble with his son asked me once who I would cite as a role model for his slightly wayward boy. I suggested Joe Strummer. My friend stared at me for a few moments before he said, "Yeah, I can work with that."

| 3 | David Bowie : Joe the Lion |
|
I think there was a character in "The Last Picture Show" called Sam The Lion. I wonder if by chance they are related? "Heroes" is one of my favorite Bowie albums, but then I have a lot of favorite Bowie albums.

| 4 | Joe Tex : Papa Was Too (Tramp) |

Early funk song also recorded by bluesman Lowell Fulsom. I seem to remember that Joe Tex had backing singers called The Sexolettes, I mention this only because I can!

| 5 | Jimi Hendrix : Hey Joe |
|
An obvious choice, but really one of the great recordings of the 60s I think. It wasn't just his solo playing, it was the little flourishes, the way Hendrix filled in holes no one had bothered with before. A record that is 42 years old, yet still sounds fresh to me.

| 8 | Joe Simon : It Be's that way sometimes |

More funky R&B. I think that Joe Simon got played a lot at the Wigan Casino, the hub of the 70's/80's Northern soul scene in England.

| 9 | Kings of Leon : Joe's Head |

I know I have mentioned it before, but I think it must be a lot of fun to play in The Kings Of Leon. One of the more modern bands that we old folk are allowed to like. (But I like them anyway!)

In a very bland contemporary blues scene, this Joe shines. Not flashy, just good.

I wish I knew a Joe, so I could make him this mix. :(

Ooops, meant to mention, I liked that you used a song by Joe Simon. I've used songs by him in a couple of my mixes in the past and may just post one of those in the near future. -Joe

Hey, Joe here, Thanks Mr. Luddite!
With a name like Joe, you'd think I'd be more familiar with the songs in this mix... Of course I'm not surprised to see 'Hey Joe' by Hendricks, but I like the Wilson Pickett version better. I am surprised to see nothing by Joe Cocker. As a matter of fact, I can think of a few others that could have been used here, so I may put a mix together in a similar vein. I guess this has gone to my head just a bit, but that's ok (they don't call me 'good old Joe' for nothing). Thanks again, Joe
