Album Notes

San Diego based singer/songwriter Joe Rathburn, who was nominated in the Best Acoustic Artist category of the 2001 and 2002 San Diego Music Awards, has just released his 2nd CD of original material, Rockwells and Picassos, co-produced by himself, and Jeff Berkley of the duo Berkley Hart.

A mixture of folk/rock/and various Americana influences, suffused with a wry humor and social conscience, then lightly sprinkled with a touch of jazz, this record should finally put him on the map.

REVIEWS

great voice and guitar, exellant expression of lyrics
author: Bob Barckley
I have heard Joe Rathburn live and several of his CDs. The Rockwell’s and Picassos CD is special for me (partly because of the title, alone) but more because of the main song itself and the variety of moods expressed. These include an exquisite sense of humor, plus romance and sadness. All great music.

Clever, passionate, enlightening, uplifting. In a nutshell ... that's life ...
author: Joe S. Carlsbad, CA
This CD realy hits the mark. The lyrics are some of the most clever I've ever heard. You can hear your life in Joe Rathburn's musical stories. Amaizingly, Rathburn notices the universal, and delivers it to you as personal. Is it Joe, or is it you that he's singing about? The songs on this CD showcase Joe Rathburn's versatility. He has the passion of Jackson Brown, the stoy telling abilities of Elvis Costello, the playfullness of Ringo Star, and the easygoing down to earth every-dayness of life of Jimmy Buffet all rolled into one. The music is fabulous. And it's a special treat to get the lyrics of every song on this CD's insert. You'll want to listen to this CD over an over again before you become compelled to share it with the ones you love and care about most. If you like music, people and life ... you'll love this CD.

It's been many years since I used to watch you at the Galley at the Marina Joe. You have inspired me in so many ways with your music and self. I am now working in Baghdad and I have shared your music with many of the troops here.I can Honestly say that Rockwells and Picasos is the first thing to put me in my happy place since I have been here. Your red head friend, Mike Lowmon

Wonderful assortment of styles, instrumentation for a fine CD!
author: Tom Sutphen
Wonderful assortment of musical styles, from folk to rock to reggae. I've only gotten all the way through twice, but this one's gonna stay in the car CD player for a while. Especially satisfying is the high quality production, variety of instrumentation, and catchy nature of the tunes - a must have!
