专辑简介

"Sometime After Eleven" is the follow-up to 2008's well-received "Cat 'n Flea Soup", which was an all-instrumental album highlighting Joe Gioglio's versatile and eclectic guitar playing. This collection explores new territory by featuring mostly vocal tunes, yet all are firmly anchored by Joe's acoustic and electric guitar work. A gritty overdriven Fender Telecaster opens the album in "Turn at the Turning Point"; the same guitar is heard in the country-style "There You Are",along with the song's signature 12-string acoustic riff. "Look to Me" is a more R&B sounding ballad, with soulful vocals and echo-laden lead guitar. "Metaphysically Speaking" was originally written as the theme for friend Sue Sabella's video blog (www.metaphysigirl.com"), and here is expanded with a short interlude. This leads into "A Lifetime Ahead", where colorful images of growing up in 1960's Brooklyn, New York, flow into the present and an optimistic future. "...if all this appears to be a lifetime ago, that don't matter 'cause... there's still a lifetime ahead". Special guest vocalist, the very talented Susan DeVita, provides velvety-smooth harmonies. "Tiny Trace of Fingerprint", featuring a passionate guitar solo, examines, in a way, the fear of fear itself . In other words, trying not to allow anxiety to prevent one from moving forward in life. Powerful guitar (semi-hollowbody Epiphone Dot) punctuates the funky title track. Next is "Absence of Light", in which layered synthesizers and subtle piano are the backdrop to an emotional vocal and stinging lead. "Sometime After Eleven" closes with "Whensday" , a song about being "stuck in the middle of another lonely week".
