I just discovered this article from the Guitar Tricks News email.

I fully agree that Joe is probably the best living guitarist you never heard of. He blows my mind!!

I dicovered him on Netflix streaming where the video of his Royal Albert Hall performance is available. It's my favorite music video. Django, which he plays as he's walks on the stage, gives me goose bumps! It is such a cool riff and shows what feel and phrasing mean! His studio albums are good (Blues Deluxe and So It's Like That are my favs), but they are no match for his live perfomances.

Listening to him is so inspiring for me. When I watch the live video, I always find myself with my guitar in my hand by the end.

I'm gonna keep an eye out for when he comes to the area to play.

Driving Towards the Daylight didn't really do it for me though. He's still an amazing talent!!
