My Home Ain't Here - Joe Bellulovich
« on: March 26, 2015, 06:42:23 PM »
Weenies - I'm pleased to say that Joe Bellulovich - erstwhile Otis Brother and Poor Rider -  has released his first album: My Home Ain't Here



Joe recorded the music himself. It is exactly what Joe wanted: an album of tough blues... and it is EXACTLY like being punched in the gut with country blues. I would venture to say that there's no one playing blues like this out there today - he's a surprisingly nuanced singer and a supple and powerful instrumentalist. You won't be disappointed.

The album is available online through bandcamp: http://joebellulovich.bandcamp.com

Physical copies are not available online.

Mr O'muck provided the Bluesville inspired artwork, and I helped organize all the details. I have no financial interest in the album, but I sure do hope it gets Joe a little attention - I think he's amazing!

This is a fine album by one of my old busking partners and member of the presently dormant Academy of Ancient Blues. The real deal ..highly recommended!

 I bought and downloaded his CD from Bandcamp several months ago.
Aside from the fact that he's, very obviously, *really* good, I'm constantly amazed that I'm listening to a contemporary recording, by a guy who's still alive.
  He channels (particularly, on the Harmonica) the sound of the '20's and '30's.

Highly recommended

Great stuff sounding like another time.  This is the sound I fell in love with over 50 years ago.  It is a nice addition to a library so rich I don't have enough time to listen to it all but then I may have a long wake one day.

Hi all,
It seems to me like Joe Bellulovich is treading new ground here, just in the sense that I've heard great harmonica players off of a rack before, some of whom were nice guitar players, but I can't think of anybody I've heard that plays such complex guitar while playing equally complex stuff off of a rack.  Not only that, but in many instances he plays the very same fills simultaneously on the guitar and the harmonica.  I've never heard anybody else do that that way, or with that level of accomplishment on both instruments--and he's a strong singer!  I applaud the amount of listening, thought and industry that has gone into what he is doing now.  That doesn't just happen, I don't care how talented you are.
All best,
Johnm

That's for damn sure. And while talent alone may not be enough, in Joe's case, it sure certainly doesn't hurt.
