Joe was such an incredible talent and I've always loved his diverse musical takes and tastes. Here's one of my faves to play on those lazy summer nights, relaxing at the house. For me, this song is the ultimate dreamscape

with the Mescaleros. Just churning out song after amazing song.

"Get Down Moses" is one of my all time favorites.
