What's in a "World of Songs"? An old nostalgic Tango, a sensuous Samba, a down and dirty Blues, an elegant French classic, a intrepid Israeli wedding theme, a wistful 30's Jazz ballad, a raucous Italian boogie, and many more surprises are to found on this eclectic, exciting, and intensely intimate debut release by harmonica master, Joe Powers and guitarist/vocalist, Lewis Childs.
"To travel the world through music is what we set out to do, in hopes of spanning the distances of language, geography, and culture." It's a world of subtleties, a world of exotic melodic moods, a world of discovery and creative energy; on two humble instruments with feeling and intent... it's a world of songs!
About the musicians...
Joe Powers:
Is it a violin? No a shakuhachi flute. No wait it's a trumpet! An accordion? A saxophone? A baby crying? A wailing train? No, it's Joe Powers' soulful Harmonica! He pours his heart into everything he plays, from Blues, Rock, Folk, and Jazz to Classical, Tango, Latin, and much more. He sees infinite possibilities to be explored on harmonica and that is his mission. Visit www.joepowers.com for the latest information.
