Emerging Southern Country Rock artist Joe Lasher Jr announces the release of his debut album, “Devil in a Jar” set for independent release on February 1, 2014 at a special event to be held in Asheville, NC and via all major digital outlets, including iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
The album features 11 songs including the title track, “Devil in a Jar,” a driving tune with a low country, swamp bottom, Southern Rock feel. Other tracks include original songs like “Country As You” and “Red Wolf Run,” songs that are inspired by the Appalachian mountains where Joe was raised. Joe collaborated with Nashville songwriters and North Carolina songwriters as well to release songs like “Hate Me Now,” “How Is Beautiful” and the driving, harder edged song, “Hillbilly.”
Preliminary reviews of this album have created quite the buzz. Nashville industry professionals have called the sound “fresh,” complimenting their blend of classic Southern Rock, mainstream Country, and ‘90’s Rock.
