  • I just love it!
    author: Lenina Villela

    I first heard about Joe Richardson by listening to subHuman by Recoil, where Richardson provides lyrics and vocals for the majority of the tracks. I was just impressed from the very first moment I heard his voice & lyrics. So, I've already bought some of his albums, one of them being Somhelgisfel. I'm really delighted with all of the songs from this album. Voice and instruments transmit plenty of sentiment and I can listen to it over and over. It's a really unique style. Strongly recommended!

  • Brilliant !

    Richardson's vocals are deep, earthy, gritty and honest. His songs are soulful and his Louisiana bayou roots shine through. Joe, like any wise blues man surrounds himself with gifted musicians. The trio is a tight combination of raw passion and synergy. Somhelgisfel grafts diverse branches of musical styles including the Delta blues, rock, hip-hop, gospel and boogie. Black Sheep of the Blues is an unorthodox approach to heartfelt blues merging with scorching rock guitars. This song captures the highs and lows of living and playing the blues. The Gospel is a creative fusion in which hip-hop is lost deep in the bayou. This song is storytelling at its best, complete with a funky beat and smokin' guitars. This melting pot is followed by Cry with its hypnotic beat and more incredible string work by Joe. Somhelgisfel is brilliant in its straightforwardness and simple but full sounding format and the Joe Richardson Express are versatile blues at its best!
