There's a warmth, an intimacy, an ardour that seems to bypass decades of styles and fads and recording methods to embrace the heart and soul of R&B. That's Rhythm and Blues if you came in late.
The meaning has changed a few times, but never for Joe regardless of whether he's steering Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons, The Black Sorrows or Bakelite Radio.
As the world gets slicker at programming click tracks and loading sound files, here's one guy still kicking back, counting in and cutting sides.
With volume 111 he's never sounded more intoxicated by the pure spirit of music; never sounded closer to home.
"It's old fashioned music, played in an old fashioned kinda way" he says of Bakelite radio's latest collection of soulful originals glued together with like-hearted obscurities. "To me it's timeless music. It comes from when records were king. That was the big game. It wasn't sport or tv or dvd. Music was the one thing that could lift you up."
