Joe Masulli's first cd entitled Silk and Steel casts a very broad net onto the musical waters.Accomplished on guitar as well as piano,with a vocal style at times reminiscient of Dan Fogelberg/David Crosby-his music encompasses folk roots to Celtic to stunning New Age instrumentals.
A very intricate seascape of music with the stellar production skills of grammy-nominated recording engineer/artist,Paul Avgerinos.Assisting on background vocals is Christine Yandell of "Sweetbird"and one of the great Celtic musicians of our time,Jerry O'Sullivan on wooden flutes and uillean pipes.
A very bold and respectable first effort from this very accomplished man.

Unique blend of styles

The cover title "Silk and Steel" is my favorite as it has a ribbon of Dan Fogelberg influence throughout. The instrumental compositions create varying underlying emotion. Very creative!

Aesthetically pleasing to the core
author: Ambrose Sharnick
The superb guitar playing mixed with the subtle undertones of acoustic Celtic instruments, piano work and string instruments will prove pleasant and relaxing. Joe Masulli's melodies and arrangements show a fine attention to detail that ellicits his hard work and time on the compositions. I'm glad to have this CD and recommend it without reservation. I also have had the pleasure of his dynamic live performance and suggest you catch him in the Connecticut area. His compelling interaction with the audience will have you singing along. Thanks Joe for the great music CD!
