Emory Joseph: Labor & Spirits

February 2003 debut release from Californian folk/roots singer/songwriter Emory Joseph, recorded at Longview Farms in N. Brookfield, MA.

"Labor and Spirits distills the spirit and sound of everything that has historically resonated from organic, roots based rock and roll. With their performances, the amazing cast Emory assembled to do this album completely celebrated both his songs and the history of the genre as a whole." --William [Biff] Kennedy, Charterhouse Music Group
