The Album kicks off with ‘Take My Hand’ a rocker with a catchy foot tapping beat and smooth riff with a slight upbeat singalong chorus a great and promising start.
‘Believe’ and ‘Gone’ Are slow melodic dreamy numbers that really showcases Joe’s considerable vocal talent, with catchy choruses that will have you closing your eyes and drifting away to a sunset beach, Malibu in hand while winding down the night.
‘Unknown’ excellent guitar riff starts which soon fades into the sound of Joe’s vocals, a standout rocker which the moment you hear it you are instantly hooked.
‘Alone’ Begins with the haunting sound of Joes vocals which builds as the track progresses but always kept to a sustained level which adds feeling and emotion.
‘A Kiss on The Wind’ is a piano driven thought provoking ballad that is well written and delivered to perfection, its time to light the candles and hold your lights in the air as the track leads to a final crescendo.
Overall ‘III’ is a well written top class album which is hook laden, filled with instant singalong classics, they just don’t make music like this anymore ohh wait!!! yes they do.
