If you have not heard of this guy before, you should go have a listen on youtube right now (at the bottom is a link to the youtube search Joe Purdy). He is a machine musician, releasing 10 decent studio albums in just 8 years. Thats more than most bands do in 20 years. So you will never be disappointed in having to wait 3 years for each album with this guy. He mainly has a country/folk sound to his music but also a bit of a modern indie sound and pop influences. In my opinion his best albums are “Canyon Joe”  or “You Can Tell Georgia” and if you were to purchase one either of these 2 would be good. They are quite different with Canyon Joe being a bit more slowed down and acoustic and You Can Tell Georgia to be a bit more pumped up and electric. But anyways, go have a listen to him if you want some new music to listen too.
