Uncle Joe [CD-single]

Editorial Reviews
Boston SoundCheck Magazine, July 2001
It was incredible, and quite imaginative.

Independent Songwrite Web Magazine, June 2001
Shave Librarian is a powerful group that hovers above pure twisted genius.

Album Description
This anthemic single is the title/theme track from the movie (docu-comedy) "20 Questions". Experience the incredible road trip with Uncle Joe and his crew every time you play it.

A brilliantly 'shave' production featuring tight lush pop arrangement as well as killer vocals, keys and the dynamic musicianship you've come to expect from a Shave Librarian project.

"Uncle Joe" is the follow-up to Shave Librarian's critically acclaimed 8-song CD, "God Of Rain".

Album Description

Declan McManus Pumps It Up. Joe Bussard. "He's an eccentric record collector who's preserved all sorts of magical corners of music - although he says things like, 'There are no good jazz records made after 1927.'" Elvis Costello - Esquire UK October 2005

"This is the music of poor whites and blacks: wild-ass jazz and string-band hillbilly, surreal yodels and king snake moans, lightning-bolt blues and whorehouse romps and orgasmic gospel. It's all anti-pop, anti-sentimental: the raw sounds of the city gutter and the roadside ditch." Desperate Man Blues by Eddie Dean - Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000

"Joe has spent more than 50 years pursuing his purpose with a single-mindedness bordering on mania. And his purpose is no less than collecting and preserving the vast wealth of American vernacular music that was recorded on fragile shellac discs during the early decades of this century." A Visit and Interview with Record Collector Joseph E. Bussard, Jr by Marshall Wyatt - Old-Time Herald Spring 1999 - oldhatrecords.com/BussardInt.html

24 Rare Gems From The King Of Record Collectors - String Bands, Blues, Jazz, Country, Cajun, Gospel. Profusely illustrated, 28-page full-color booklet includes biographical essay, fully annotated discography, and (online) firsthand accounts of Joe's record collecting adventures. 72 minutes of newly, digitally remastered music. Jewel case, second edition.

Album Description

Re-issued with new packaging, with a 28-page color booklet and offered a new low price. Joe Bussard's Treasure Trove Of Vintage 78s 1926-1937. The 24-track sampler is drawn from longtime radio broadcaster Bussard's fabled collection. The Frederick, MD-based Bussard is said to have more than 25,000 of the rarest early blues, jazz and country 78s, all meticulously catalogued in a basement-cum-vault beneath his house. The triple-fold release comes with a full-color, 72-page booklet filled with funny stories about Bussard's door-knocking searches for old shellac, more than 40 photos and complete annotation.

5 out of 5 stars ear candy.......2007-06-26

Sell your shoes cause your goin to heaven after you play this one! You can finally say you've heard it all. Top drawer assemblage of roots, blues, and just plain fun. Uncle Joe say it ain't so... give us another, PLEASE!

4 out of 5 stars terrific collection of early songs.......2007-02-13

If you're interested in the history of US music, as I am, you'll find this a fine addition. Cleaned up as well as can be expected but still some hum & hiss...but not enough to be distracting.

5 out of 5 stars another great release from OLD HAT........2006-12-26

everything i've ever bought on the old hat label has been fantastic, and this is no exception. a must have disc for fans of old time music. and if you have no old time music discs, this would be as good a place as any to start with. great sound and a variety of musical styles make this disc a complete winner.

5 out of 5 stars Will Interest Lovers of Roots Music.......2006-07-15

A generous 24-track helping of some of record collector extraordinare Joe Bussard's favorites. The examples included run the gamut of early 20th centruy roots music ranging from Hillybilly music to Blues, Jazz, Jug Bands and beyond.

Sound quality is top notch -- these guys really know how to do 78-RPM transfers. Also Joe's records seem to be in excellent condition to begin with so not a lot of noise reduction is required. This is one of the very finest sounding discs of 78-RPM transfers that I have heard.

Packaging is also lavish with a 70 page booklet that contains annotations for each of the 24 tracks, and lots of interesting photos of vintage record labels and packaging, as well as several essays and stories about Joe's record collecting career. There's much of interest here for those who love Roots music.

4 out of 5 stars A total package .......2006-02-04

I had not heard of Joe Bussard before this collection though I consider myself an avid music enthusiast and budding collector. After having heard this disc (and having read the extensive liner notes) I'm more than a little green with envy over Bussard's collection.

This disc collects some of Joe's personal favourites with names more familiar (Big Bill Broonzy, Gene Autry, Uncle Dave Macon) and some that will prove obscure to all but the most investigative record collectors (A.A. Gray and Seven-Foot Dilly, Fields Ward and the Grayson County Railsplitters, The Stripling Brothers). It's also cross-genre so if you only like country, or only blues, or only gospel, this will not be the collection for you.

Besides the songs themselves, which would be enough to make this a good buy, the packaging tells you a lot about WHO Bussard is (been collecting records since 12, once ran a pirate radio station), WHY he collects ("You ever smell the sleeves? They got that real funny wood smell to 'em.") along with some great stories about the "finds" he's made over the years. He's enough of a character that I'd love to watch the documentary about him. You also get brief bios for each of the performers included (a paragraph or two) as a nice bonus.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Twin fiddle workout "The Lost Child" has served as the radio theme for Bussard for years and I can see why. It's a keeper that alternates smooth fiddling with some nice staccato that implies the child might be "skipping" at play. Jazz-blues "The (New) Call of the Freaks" has an insistent chorus ("Stick out your cans/Here come the garbageman...") while Blind Gary (AKA Rev. Gary Davis) does a great gospel blues sermonette in "You Got to Go Down" ("You got to learn how to treat everybody/cuz you got to go down...ashes to ashes and dust to dust"). Charley Jordan's risque blues "Keep it Clean" is a standout as well. Autry's "Atlanta Bound" is far from the cheerful image of the man who sang "Rudolph": he's promising to kill the "rounder" who's dallying with his wife.

LOWS:
The only tune here I found unlistenable is the gratingly off-key family gospel tune "Give the World a Smile" by the Corley Family. Despite the nice sentimental lyric, I just couldn't stomach the singers themselves.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you have an interest in early music that's not restrictive to a single style, this is a very nice collection with some gems that would otherwise be lost.

Album Description

What is your favourite Sunday morning record? "I like old recordings. I love the things Joe Bussard puts out - he's preserving a lot of corners of music that are precious, mountain music, jazz, blues, music that was on 78. I dig that." Elvis Costello - MOJO Dec 2005

    Album Description

    Joboj (a.k.a. Joe Bochar) is sick in the head. His latest Nyquil induced album is like a bipolar patient short on meds. Frantic, finger-twisting solos punctuate the furiously fast songs with intent, while melodic refrains toss and turn on a bed of phat beats. Prepare for an aural assault: This is Joboj. This is X.

    Masterminded by a guy who knows more about do-it-yourself than The Home Depot, Joboj writes, records and plays it all in his home studio. A conceptual departure from his previous three CDs, "X" obliterates the rules resulting in an experience that is definitely not your typical guitar CD. Ranging from hardcore ("Chest Compression v.6", "X") to trip hop/electronica ("Zero", "Tryptophen Junkie") to acoustic ("Blackthumb", "Bitch") to just plain crazy guitar ("Stool", "Screaming Chicken"), this disc caters to a diverse palate of styles, while maintaining an overall sound that is distinctly Joe.

    As the most insane guitarist you think you've never heard, Joboj has covertly been creeping into the mainstream via play on such television shows as VH-1's Bands On The Run, and MTV's The Real World, Road Rules, and Undressed. His work can also be heard on demos for Cakewalk's Guitar Tracks Pro, Sonar, and Fernandes Guitars. In December 2002, Morley Pedals will launch an advertising campaign featuring the JOBOJ "jam tracks" disc entitled "Chocolate".

    Unlike anything on the market, "X" is the ultimate anti-boy band, anti-pop, anti-establishment in your face album that refuses to be ignored. "X" is no longer marks the spot, it IS the spot.

    5 out of 5 stars There is no guitar music, there is only JOBOJ........2003-04-10

    Guitarist/Writer/Producer Joboj's best work to date... In true Joboj style, he opens "X" with a song so heavy and driving that it will make your mother's ears bleed and she'll beg for more. The songs that follow offer a wide variety of styles from trip hop with fierce phat beats to guitar driven melodies reminiscent of NASCAR in their need for speed. More of a concept album than his previous works, "X" has a coherent flow from song to song without ever repeating itself. A must have for anyone who craves sick guitar music and appreciates tight song writing. Once you put it in your CD player you'll never take it out.

    Although the production quality in this album is a little on the weak side, this is nonetheless a very good rock and roll record. I have an UJBOD T-shirt and it is always amazing to me how often people will stop when they see the shirt and comment on what a great band they are/were. If you are looking for a "how come these guys never made it?" album, you've found one.

    5 out of 5 stars If the Replacements were from San Diego..........2002-07-14

    I was surprised noone had commented on this underrated gem, so I figured I'd be the first. UJBOD bring the ROCK, baby! err...or they did while they were around anyway. Driving guitar rock with good hooks a la the Replacements. They also did an awesome cover of the Plimsouls' "Million Miles Away" on the FER SHURE compilation as well---try to find that one too if you can.

    5 out of 5 stars "Uncle Joe" will do you right!.......2003-11-06

    A few years back on a drive to the east coast, I popped in a tape a friend had just cut with his band, Shave Librarian. Driving into D.C., a song caught me and just wasn't going to let go. It was called "Mr. Blue," and it was simply the most manic and catchy song I'd ever heard. Years later on the road with my Uncle Joe at the wheel, I was shooting my first feature length film. And true-blue here, folks.....that damn song was STILL dancing in my head. I approached Shave Librarian to turn "Mr. Blue" into "Uncle Joe" as the title track for my film, and they thankfully obliged. "Uncle Joe" kicks off my docu-comedy "20 Questions" with just the right kind of party energy. It is a hard thing to describe, but an easy thing to feel. Just how catchy is this song? Ask Uncle Joe himself, when he got his CD single, he played it 12 hours straight on loop. Isn't that right, Joe?

    5 out of 5 stars Ultimate party song.......2003-05-15

    Uncle Joe is a song that lifts you up and won't let you down. Everyone I've played this for has ended up grooving to it with a big smile! Another great Shave tune.

    A thick rolling rhythm hooks you and floats you through the layered 80s-ish sounding keys and smoking guitar. It's a really great song. They have a cool site too.

    5 out of 5 stars Wow!!! Once again, I'm blown away!.......2003-05-08

    I have been anxiously awaiting the release of Shave Librarian's new CD single, "Uncle Joe" and I can't tell you how excited I was to receive my copy. It's all I've been listening to for the last several days. Why aren't other bands writing and recording songs like this? I can sum up Shave Librarian in two words: PURE GENIUS! This new song is from an indie film, "20 Questions", which I can't wait to see. The song makes me feel like I'm happily drunk and I'm flying down the highway on my motorcycle with my hands waving in the air... Shave Librarian, *you* did it right! Can't wait for the next release!!!
