NEW ALBUM AVAILABLE NOW!!!

The digital version of
Emory Joseph - Fennario - Songs by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter
IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES NOW!! -

The CD package and vinyl LP will be in stores August 19th, for now I think it's great
that you iPod and iPhoners and computer whiz bangs, can have it right jet skippy now.

I'm so excited about Fennario. It's some of my favorite songs in the world,
recorded with some of my favorite musicians in the world - the album turned out fantastic! (in my humble opinion that is haha)

I think you're gonna love it!

Saint Misbehavin' • The Wavy Gravy Movie!!!
I have done my first film score for director Michelle Esrick's wonderful film about Activist Clown, Poet, Frozen Desert, and Temple of Accumulated Error - Wavy Gravy. The film had it's world premier, to rave reviews, at the SXSW Film Festival, and has also packed a 1200 seat house at Durham, NC's "Full Frame Documentary Fest.". In addition to the score, I produced a gospel version of Wavy's anthem "Basic Human Needs" with Jackson Browne, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Maria Muldaur, Bob Weir, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Steve Earle, I can't wait for you to hear it!! Sweet Soul Music deeeluxe! People are lovin' this film and I'm thrilled to be a part of it! You can check it out at the Ripple Effect Films website

Bonnie Raitt's latest album'SOULS ALIKE' features my song "Trinkets". It is a GREAT album by a GREAT artist and person - with a FABULOUS band. I am thrilled to be associated with it. Thank you Bonnie!

And if you haven't already heard it, here's an audio gander at the original -
extended version of Trinkets that I thought was a little too long for Labor & Spirits (at the time haha). Spacey ending and all - Y'all...groooovy!
_________________
"LABOR & SPIRITS" was the name of my debut album. It was meant to feature some of the finest players and craftspeople in our funky ol' musical world, as well as to introduce me as someone who likes it simple and sweet as often as I do funky and strong. I think we did a pretty good job of it (if I do say so myself). If you'd like , please click here to - HAVE A LISTEN for yourself.

I met some of the nicest people ever at the SEVA FOUNDATION benefit reception in Washington, D.C. last week. Chef Todd Gray (of D.C.'s award winning Equinox Restaurant ) and his lovely wife Ellen served us an AMAZING dinner later that night (and me one before I left town tee hee) and I swear if I don't start running or playing bal or something soon I'm gonna end up looking like Al Hirt!
