In his four-decade career; as a solo artist, with the Jackmormons, supergroup Stockholm Syndrome, his two-piece The Denmark Veseys, his beloved 80s cult band, Little Women, or most recently with Drive-by Truckers backing him; he has continuously toured the world, including such unlikely locales as Lebanon, Israel, Kurdish Iraq, India, Cambodia and Afghanistan, and released a steady stream of albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBaby, You're The Man Who Would Be King\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded in NYC and produced by Eric \"Roscoe\" Ambel, and features a band made up of some of New York's best players. Written in a vintage camping trailer parked in Joseph's Portland driveway in the midst of the pandemic and recorded in Ambel's Brooklyn studio in the summer of 2021, the nine songs on \u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e are a bit of a mystery, and a bit painful, for Joseph to reflect on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"These for me, were a different collection of songs,\" Joseph acknowledges. \"If there was a theme, it was to focus on simplicity - lord knows I can be ... er, verbose -, often ending with a head scratch and 'what the hell is this song about' upon listening to the final versions. In the end, there's a lot more truth and vulnerability here than I'm willing to publicly concede.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmbel says, \"I met Jerry when our bands played together in February of 2018 at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. He invited me to sit in with him on 'a couple songs'. That turned into half the set and the encore. I really enjoyed how loose the band was and Jerry's super personal connection to his fans. Ambel curated a band of stellar musicians Jeremy Chatzky on Bass, Phil Cimino on Drums, Charlie Giordano on Hammond Organ, Wurlitzer Electric Piano \u0026amp; Accordion and himself on Electric Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion \u0026amp; Harmony Vocals with Casey Neil on Harmony, Joe Flood on Fiddle, Mary Lee Kortes on Harmony Vocals, and Cody Nilsen on Pedal Steel, adding their skills to a song each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was mostly recorded in a week after which Ambel added some additional recording from his home studio, Evie's Terrace. Discussing the album, Joseph remarks, \"Considering the whole Covid driveway origins, it's surreal what we made and I'm just going to call it magic ... for which I am exceedingly grateful.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmo Sex School Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50434636284235,"sku":"2051201","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50434636775755,"sku":"2051205","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d08c227b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726892361"},{"product_id":"the-beautiful-madness","title":"The Beautiful Madness","description":"\u003cp\u003eWho the hell is Jerry Joseph? Well Patterson Hood and Jason Isbell think he is one of the best songwriters and performers ever, so much so they backed him up on his newest album. While he has been flying just under the radar in the US he is unknown in Europe and that is all about to change. This is his first ever European release. Not only are Drive By Truckers the backing band on his upcoming tour but they also recorded the entire new album with Jerry as his backing band. Jason Isbell features on one of the key tracks \u003ci\u003eDead Confederate\u003c\/i\u003e and Patterson Hood also produced the entire record. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Jerry is a legend in the US he has never had a British release after playing for over 30 years - with the Truckers supporting him on many of his early shows having. This record was recorded at Matt Patton's studio, Dial Back Sound, in Water Valley, Mississippi with all the Truckers taking part. It is Jerry's strongest ever songwriting and written over a period of years while travelling the world, while Jerry also ran guitar school charities for children in the war zones of Iraq, Syria etc. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decor","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50469820399947,"sku":"1091042","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green | LP | x2","offer_id":50469820924235,"sku":"1091209","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/81179877-dbe0-4c37-b02e-f9052ec3e4bc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727368058"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/jerry-joseph.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
