Joe Beard - Joe Beard
Review by Luciane Hissae Tanaka Moreira
The album Joe Beard by Joe Beard is a fantastic representation of traditional blues music. The album is filled with slow, soulful tracks that showcase Beard's impressive guitar skills and smooth vocals. The album features a variety of blues styles, from Chicago blues to Delta blues, all performed with a raw and authentic sound.
The album's standout tracks include "Blues for the Lost and Found," a slow, mournful ballad about love lost, and "Life Without Parole," a gritty song about the struggles of life in prison. The album also includes several upbeat tracks, such as "You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "Sally Mae," that showcase Beard's ability to inject energy and passion into his music.

About Joe Beard
Joe Beard (February 4, 1938, Ashland, Mississippi) is an American blues and rhythm & blues musician, and is the father of blues musician .
He was surrounded by aspiring and veteran blues musicians. Matt "Guitar" Murphy and his brother Floyd Murphy were Beard's childhood buddies and the ones who initially got him started on guitar. Beard moved to Rochester, New York, in the mid-1950's and befriended Son House, who happened to live just around the corner. From time to time would visit one of his brothers in Chicago. He became enamored with the blues being played there and eventually sat in both with John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. In Rochester, he formed the Soul Brothers Six, playing bass and singing. He wouldn't perform in public on guitar until 1965. For most of the '60s on through the '80s, Beard worked as an electrician by day and would occasionally play out at night and on weekends. He long ago gained a reputation as one of the best local players around Rochester and has sporadically been counted as one of the best nationally.
