A Great Listen
author: Laurence Baer
Very professional and impressive for a first album. I particularly enjoyed Carrying Stones Away, Some Other Soul, and Walkin in Darkness. Joe thinks deeply about things, has a great voice and infuses his music with lots of rythm!

Compelling and highly original debut CD!
author: Adam Book
From the rocking groove of the first cut "Carrying Stones Away" to the mellow, hypnotic sounds of "Laying Down" and the bluesy passion of "Burning Sunset" this album is a real treat. Great harmony vocals on several tracks add to the listening experience. The well-penned lyrics offer a unique glimpse of an artist living in a post-9/11 world. Overall, a very interesting debut CD!

Beautiful songs that focus on the meaning of life
author: Michael Zampi
Joe Spatarella has accomplished something most people
only dream about. He has written, recorded and co-produced
his own CD entitled "Some Other Soul". Joe has a very
unique blend of meaningful lyrics, and demonstrates a
beautiful balance between his earthy voice and
rhythmic guitar style. All songs are sung and played
with heartfelt passion and there is personal
conviction felt in each musical phrase. Some of his
music brings me back to the 60's and 70's, while other
songs are more contemporary. Each of Spatarella's songs
hit home in a way that most of today's music seems to miss.
Joe gets to the heart and soul of each story by way of
unexpected turns and twists. This is a beautiful
collection of songs that make us contemplate what is
really important in life. Joe has crafted a stellar
collection of songs. I highly recommend this CD to
everyone's collection.
