Bad Temper Joe – this name stands for blues. You can be sure that when Bad Temper Joe leans over his lap slide guitar and plays the blues, he delivers a heartbreaking, soulful, and unique sound that's completely his own. This is the real, true, yet unusual blues.
The grumpy 22-year-old with the rough, creaky voice quickly made a name for himself in the local scene through numerous concerts and is no longer just an insider tip. With his debut album "Sometimes A Sinner" (Timezone/February 2014), he took his first step toward national stages, and with his second release, "Man for the Road" (Timezone/November 2014), he simultaneously hints that his journey is far from over. This second album contains thirteen songs, all of which were recorded during a concert on his "It's Bad You Know" tour in August 2014.
This will offer an insight into Joe's live program, which includes songs from his debut album in a new guise, as well as three previously unreleased tracks: the title track "Man for the Road," "Blood-Shot Eyes," the country ballad "I'll Be There," and two other compositions: "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin and "You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover" by Bo Diddley. Bad Temper Joe will also be joined on harmonica by Thomas Feldmann (including First Class Blues Band) on three tracks.
Bob Dylan once said, "A lot of people don't like the road, but it's as natural to me as breathing." The same applies to the 22-year-old. He tirelessly performs one concert after the next. Every now and then, he allows himself a break to catch his breath and return to his audience with renewed energy. Bad Temper Joe: A "man for the road"!
