- STRONG LIKE BULL...BUT
SENSITIVE LIKE SQUIRREL
Half originals, half covers. Soulful! Joe Goldmark has released eight steel guitar albums, and he is a walking encyclopedia of
knowledge about the history of
his instrument. With this latest CD, he brings us yet another spectacular
release that includes both eclectic covers and strong original material. Ranging from classic R&B numbers ("These Arms
of Mine") to country favorites ("Lonely Weekends"), Goldmark recreates the popular perception of this versatile instrument.

be used in all types of music with great results!"

- ALL HAT,
NO CATTLE
Critically
acclaimed.
Joe is best known for taking the steel guitar out of a C&W setting, and
instead using this awesome instrument to play pop, rock, and soul music.
On this album he also ventures into World Music with tunes like "Highlife" &
"Skokiaan" (African), "Rico's Lament" (Caribbean), & "Sabor A Mi" (Mexican).
However he still can't resist rocking on "Eight Miles High" (The Byrds),
"Her Strut" (Bob Seger), "The Way" (Fastball), and on "China Cat Sunflower"
(Grateful Dead). He also mixes in some oldies like "Sweet Dreams" (Don
Gibson), "Hey Girl" (Freddie Scott), "Whispering Pines" (The Band), and
"Because They're Young" (Duane Eddy).
Joe is backed by some wonderful players including Jim Campilongo And
The 10 Gallon Cats, with whom he has also recorded two albums.
If you like the idea of a pedal steel guitar playing some fun music,
you'll love this album.

THE BEATLES
12 rocking Beatles tunes. ...updated to the pedal steel. Joe gives his treatment
to a great selection of fab four numbers.
The wonderful songs created by the Beatles sound like they were written for the pedal steel guitar on
this rockin' CD, which also features the excellent playing of some
great Bay Area talent. Engineer and guitarist Garth Webber is an alumnus of the Miles Davis band.
Mac Cridlin played bass on Stephen Bishop's "On & On" and Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy",
and was in Tony Williams' band. Billy Lee Lewis played drums with Marty Balin, Gary Potterton

ROAD"

some of the best musicians in San Francisco. Pedal steel guitar fronts this wacky & well produced album of rock & soul
faves. First CD by this virtuoso who has accompanied David Byrne, Michael Bloomfield, Taj Mahal, Maria Muldaur &
