notes

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.

    This is a lovingly crafted eclectic collection of songs. Joe Masulli weaves rich and provocative textures in this original synthesis of American folk and Celtic traditions. Joe has a compelling voice and his guitar and piano work displays outstanding musicianship.

  • 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!

  • Straight from the heart

    Multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter Joe Masulli and producer Paul Avgerinos have collaborated to put out a beautiful, spirit-filled CD that is like fine wine -- it gets better and better over time. Fans of Dan Fogelberg will hear the influence on the title track (Silk and Steel) and CS&N fans will enjoy the second track (Spirit of Change). Every track on this CD is filled with love, joy and peace. The lovely and angelic Christine Yandell adds some beautiful backing vocals and vocalizations. If you are tired of listening to the static coming out of your radio, pick up a copy of this CD, sit back with the candles burning, close your eyes, and get lost in the music...

    I love this cd. It's mellow. It's spiritual. It's tasteful. My favorite song on the cd is Silk and Steel, the title track. The melody has a sentimental and endearing quality to it that makes me want to listen to it again and again. The overall vibe on this record is tender yet strong. It is a lovely piece of art. Add it to your gallery and be enriched by its presence.

    author: Randy Anagnostis

    Silk and Steel is a heartfelt collection not to be missed! Every song conveys a deep sense of emotion which Joe Masulli has magically transformed into melodic, harmonious sounds that move the soul. His mastery of the guitar and supporting instruments and vocals leaves the listener wanting more with each and every track. A winner!

  • Great sound!
    author: Bobbi "FunkeeBoy" Tammaro

    I love the music on this CD. I find the songs soothing and very easy to listen to with tasteful instrumentation. Joe's voice reminds me of Dan Fogelberg and his guitar playing is incredible. The songs are well written and have meaning which enhance the simplicity of this CD even more. Even though my favorite genre of music is R&B, I find it refreshing to hear soothing songs like the ones on this CD that are not driven by drum beats and cliche hooks. If you enjoy folk/easy listening/acoustic/celtic music then you will love Silk and Steel.
