Even to the this day I run into people all over the country that asks me, "who's that Houserocker dude--that Joe guy." I bring this up because I think the first three Iron City Houserockers are impeccable examples of rock and blues with edge and attitude. To this day, I play those songs and remember what I felt listening to Joe and the band back then and just shake my head. It was strong--right at you and in your face music. There was an edge that even some of the best selling rockers couldn't compete with. People who knew and cared thought Joe was the epitome of that genre. Pumping iron and sweating steel baby....Joe made a difference.legendsohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974646993419392464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439655388269198954.post-11387472376091028762016-01-28T19:06:17.139-05:002016-01-28T19:06:17.139-05:00Thank you Keith!
