Mellow Joe

One of my all time favorite albums! This is a Joe I didn’t know existed. He’d always been raucous and rowdy. This is the kind of album you could sit by the fireplace with your love and a bottle of wine, and enjoy some soothing, breezy, and sometimes mysterious tunes. And then there’s Rocky Mountain Way, which is a little more of the Joe we know, but still not manic.
One night in 1973, the album title suddenly made sense to me and I explained it in great detail to my friends, who also understood it. Lord knows what we were on, cause I can’t figure it out now.
