AMG Review of Stingray
James Chrispell
All Music GuideRecorded in Jamaica, Stingray was an attempt to meld Joe's raspy vocals with reggae music. It was an experiment which had mixed results. Using crack New York session men instead of Jamaicans somewhat defeated the purpose, but did work well in off-setting the reggaefied tunes. Joe turns in a fine vocal performance throughout and shines on such covers as "A Song For You" and Bob Dylan's "The Man In Me." Stingray is full of gems worth seeking out.
