Joe Carey: Buy
Wondervibe, 2003
Joe Carey’s debut release, Wondervibe, is
a well-balanced mural of sound that blends
soulful rock grooves with passionate singing
and heartfelt lyrics.
Influenced by the rock stylings of Led
Zeppelin and The Who, along with the soul
of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Wonder, Carey recaptures the honesty and simplicity of the late 60’s and 70’s pop rock sound.
From the feel-good rhythm of To Be Alive, to the smooth-yet-street wisdom of Superhuman Strife, to the raw emotion of The Divide, Wondervibe shines a recurring theme throughout: the triumph of the human spirit.

Sunflower Soul, 2009
Joe Carey’s newest solo release, Sunflower Soul, is a dynamic concoction made up of equal parts vintage guitar tones, straight forward rock beats, and raw yet tastefully melodic vocals. From the anthem-like opening title track to the lyrically inclusive Timid Child, Carey’s songwriting has evolved into an eclectic style of his own while still paying homage to influential greats such as the Black Crowes, the Jayhawks, and Lenny Kravitz. In addition to writing, producing, and engineering all of the tracks in his own garage, Carey also played most of the instruments on the record… epitomizing Sunflower Soul as true blue, grassroots indie-rock.
