Love Got In My Way
Joe E.
Love Got In My Way
(1976)
Joe E. was a construction worker and part time stock car driver who was inspired by blue collar workers making it on the charts and decided to try his hand at singing. He looked into finding a studio that would produce an album for him from start to finish. Him and his father invested $20,000 out of pocket for the album. The studio treated the production with extreme care, but when it came time for them to manage his career, the studio packed up over night, moved out of town and dumped his master tapes in the trash.
Most people know this album (of the people who do) from the cut "Come On Sign," which really is tops! But I think the title track is a great place to show the kind of sound that makes this album special...
The album as a whole is like Elvis meets Scott Walker meets Pet Sounds... I SWEAR!
Listen here!!!
