Joe O'Connell phones it in from Pekin, IN. A wonderful mystery, Joe's music travels a frozen Midwest just beginning to thaw. Some songs here have never been recorded elsewhere. Sez' the Weird Weeds' Nick Hennies: "O'Connell has one of those beautiful voices that commands attention while somehow remaining soft and effortless, much like the music that accompanies it. A comparison could be drawn to Neil Young but given the unique, intentionally lo-fi production and the overall quality of the songs I forgot about any detectable influence almost immediately."
