Joey Pinter Solo Album Review!

Joey Pinter is a true American treasure in the Punk Rock world. He's guitar loyalty. He was part of the original scene in NYC in the mid to late 70's, made the local papers and magazines, shared the stage with the top bands of that era with his bands Fuse and The Knots at the top clubs like CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. He played on "Walter Steding" an album witch was ahead of it's time and didn't get the appreciation it should have. Later on he joined The Waldos and once again was in the spotlight and did some of the tightest and best sounding songs to ever hit record, on the album "Rent Party". Well he finally put out his solo album, and it's nothing short of amazing. His blues and sleazy Mick Ronson style playing mixed with his Dylan'esque Tom Waits kinda growl really just adds that much more feeling to the songs. It's a pure guitar album, something we haven't gotten in a long time. He put it all out there for us, his heart and soul in to this album. If you're in to great rock n roll from the heart, this album is for you! Here are a few of my favorites. (honestly love the entire album!)  Buy the album!


Be Like You: The album starts off with this balls to the wall rebellious track. Just straight forward Punk Rock and sharp leads. It's the anthem against corruption and bullshit. If you're a fan of The Knots, then you will see Joey still has that youthful angst and can deliver the goods!

Favorite Child: It's like T-Rex, Tom Waits, Dylan and Mick Taylor all wrapped up in one. It's a brilliant acoustic track with some beautiful slide. The lyrics are very real and a lot of people can relate. It's a must to put on repeat, every time you listen to it you hear and feel something different.

Sad Girl: Fast, upbeat tempo, great solo! It's a song to his wonderful wife, Angie. I would say it's one of the most heartfelt songs on the album, although he did put his heart and soul in to every song.

20 East: A breath of fresh air! It's like if Mick Ronson, Tom Waits, and Keith Richards put together a song. It's so catchy and just great guitar playing.
