notes

He has worked with many legends of the music industry, such as
Bob Dylan, John Prine, Donald Byrd, Jackson Brown and Eden
Ahbez to name a few. In 1991 won a Grammy for sound
engineering and playing drums on John Prine's "The Missing
Years" C.D..

In 2003, KONAMI and Akira Yamaoka, released PlayStation games called "Silent Hill 3"
and "Silent Hill 4" with soundtrack albums featuring Joe's vocal on
"Hometown" and Cradle of the Forest".

Joe has also recorded a large catalogue of his own songs and
instrumentals, with many co-writes on band projects such as The
Marc Tanner Band, Soy Cowboy, Doug Hamblin and Meat
Sandwich.

His songs genre's range from simple love songs, to politically
incorrect social statements. From acoustic folk to high energy
dance tracks, Joe's eclectic taste comes from early influences of
The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Louie Prima, John Cage
and Karlhein Stockhousen.

A drummer/bassist/guitarist/programmer who sings and writes
music produced from his Shadow Box Studio. Always looking for
new sounds, projects and artists to record.

Many of Joe's band projects got to the point of recording a demo,
then fell apart due to the usual various reasons: financial, ego or
drug overdose-related band crap. It's a fact of life, bands break up. We've all seen it before even in the best of bands, like the Beatles,
The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Windows...what, you
never heard of The Windows? That's because they broke up
before their record was released. Their career was shattered
when the lead singer Crystal Payne joined the Hammers. Now
their recordings are put on a shelf and forgotten.
Now in this wonderful age where music can be sold on the
internet, it's possible for his songs and productions to be heard.
Joe's taken the best of his shelved songs from the past and
created something he calls "Past Masters" Vol.1, 2 and 3.
This Vol.2, Is the Romantic side of life! Songs reflecting on
moments of Love, Lust, Hope for the future, and the hard to detect
joy of the moment itself. From the heart, comes Vol.2.

This CD maybe a TREASURE, or it may be GARBAGE,
as ART aways is! Buy one or collect all three!

  • Lots of variety and imagination
    author: Doug Stone

    Knew about Soy Cowboy, really loved their music and own their CD, but had never heard any variety of tunes from Joe Romersa, who was Cowboy's lead singer, as an individual before. Really enjoyed the fact that the CD contains so many different styles - like the sense of humour behind the music. Definately a good buy.

  • Part 1 of 3 great CDs overflows with fun!
    author: Love Planet Records

    This CD has a bunch of really fun songs on it. From the opening Sticky Rice, to the Smoking Song and others, Joe has found a solid musical expression of catchy, clever tunes to start up this Past Masters series. Every track takes you on a journey. From groove to attitude, these track get you up and running with a smile. Great for your collection! I enjoyed every track!!
