'A SLICE OF LIFE' is just that. A collection of songs derived from aspects of everyday life, expressed in original terms that hit home with listeners. 'Getting Old' is a song that takes a humorous look at the inevitable, enhanced by an expressive saxophone that helps tell the story. Along with a bouncy bass that makes the song kick. 'We Love Our Reggae' is a fun song that shows how music can pick us up when we're feeling down. It makes that point with the help of Latin percussion, marimbas, steel drums, acoustic guitar, reggae bass and both male and female vocals singing in sweet harmony. When people hear 'Life's hard Enough' they usually say: "That's so true!" This song has the feel of country blues with some cooking harmonica. 'Guitar Climax' is a unique instrumental that has baffled some outstanding musicians. The music is beautiful, but the question that comes up from guitarists is: "How did you play that?" 'Love Means Nothing' deals with a topic you've probably never heard a song approach. It contains a mystery you get to solve as you listen. A review in Minnesota Music stated this: “With strong vocals throughout, Joe Meyer serves up some refreshing sounds.” The St Paul Pioneer Press also wrote: Joe “Meyer, a singer who has an easy way with a tune...offers a captivating bit of guitar play.” His guitar style may be compared to that of James Taylor, Cat Stevens or Eric Clapton. Listeners have found his singing voice to be reminiscent of Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Rivers. With vocal harmonies as smooth as the Beach Boys, his sound has been described as “upscale”.
