​Joseph Huber (from the album Moondog available as a self-release)
Good advice is the gift Joesph Huber offers on his recent release, Moondog. Mountain music barrels downhill at a rapid pace when Joseph Huber educates on how “Centerline” makes for a mythical border handing out badges of courage to all that cross over. Dark music spins, weaving sonic shadows on the Gothic Americana of ‘The Wild Swans at Coole” as a Countryfied rhythm gallops to catch “After You” while Southwest breezes carry touches of local sound for the tale of “Geronimo!” and Moondog strikes up the band for a Country hootenanny to spit out its story in the title track.
Joseph Huber speaks in the voice of a world-weary traveler in “A Northwood Waltz”, wears “Another Man’s Shoes” with street-corner preaching Folk, and quiets the playing to wonder “Where You Said You’d Be” with Soul-dosed vocals cradled by gentle Folk Rock guitar noodling. Moondog is album number four from Wisconsin native Joseph Huber, and what separates the recording in the standard issue singer/songwriter dance is the man with his name on the cover. Joseph Huber hands over his words on a shifting musical soundscape, making the link between songs a voice that steps between the styles with an unflinching urgency in his voice, vulnerable as it chews on wistful memories of yesterday and future fears in “Hardwired”, crying out as a lost-soul wanderer in “Rivers of Smoke”, and fully succumbing to the good time bubbles bursting open through the words and music of “Found Penny”.
