LIVE MUSIC Thursday thru Saturday featuring Joe King Carrasco

 

August 2009

It’s 1982 and Joe is in London, as part of a whistle-stop European tour to promote his new MCA album, Synapse Gap. We meet at his Bayswater hotel, and the garrulous Texan is soon in full conversational swing, talking excitedly about the new record.

“Guess who I’ve got on the album, man, singing backing fucken vocals?”

I didn’t have a clue. Bob Dylan? Ozzy Osbourne? ...more

"Tattoo Laredo" gets finishing touches:

Tattoo Laredo is an album recorded in 1992 at a studio in Houston that has never been released. Post production began in late 2008 with distribution and marketing being set sometime in 2009.

Tattoo Laredo was first recorded in the early ‘90’s and was left behind in the studio when we ran out of time to work on it. It features one of my favorite bands & some of the best songs I
think I’ve ever written.” JKC
