Album Notes

Have you ever been hooked on the narrative of a conversation that you weren't supposed to hear? That is one of the things you might feel when listening to the music of singer/songwriter Joe Purdy. As he remembers an angry moment or a stolen kiss, his voice becomes startlingly intimate -- you can practically feel his breath on your ear. His sweet, folk- flavored melodies, coupled with the warm tones of an old Gibson guitar, are enough to make an audience blush.

Purdy's bluegrass roots show through on "StompinGrounds," the third independent release from the golden-voiced Arkansas native. Mandolin and banjo solos accent the likes of "Woman Go" and "Trouble," and good old-fashioned storytelling reigns throughout. But Purdy throws a few curveballs -- well-placed synthesizers on songs like "Rainy Day Lament" keep the sound fresh and closer to David Gray than Doc Watson. If you liked "Heartbreaker," you are bound to fall for "StompinGrounds."

I was watching my favorite show 'House' when music from this CD started playing in the background. I went to the web page for the show and found out who it was. Love the CD. Definitely rainy day music.
