Mighty Joe

Mighty Joe Hicks is a rare album of funky blues from singer Joe Hicks -- the only one recorded he recorded for the Stax label Enterprise, and oddly recorded out in Hollywood! Despite its west coast roots, the record's got a sound that's still plenty rough-edged and earthy -- mostly a mix of blues with a slight dose of soul, especially on the warmer, mellow tracks. But the best ones are actually those that get a bit funky -- not in an all-out mode, but with chunky rhythms at the bottom that make the album plenty appealing if you're a fan of messed-up grooves! Titles include "Rusty Ol Halo", "Rock Me Baby", "The Team", "Train of Thought", "All In", and "Water Water". for free baby!
