Chip Taylor - Rock & Roll Joe

Rock & Roll Joe is a project dedicated to promoting the unsung heroes of rock music - the people who were, and still are, critical to the spirit and passion of rock and roll and yet never have received the credit they deserve. The idea of Rock & Roll Joe began during Chip Taylor's Scandinavian tour of 2007. As Chip traveled through Norway and Sweden with his longtime friend and guitarist John Platania, new protégé fiddler Kendel Carson, drummer Bryan Owings and bass player Ron Eoff, they talked about everything. But many of the conversations revolved around the musicians that we knew and respected and Chip realized that most music fans didn't really know the people who were behind many of the great records of the last 60 years. With this album, Chip and company honor those pioneers. A portion of the profits from Rock & Roll Joe will be donated to musicians in need.
