Joe Henry is topper known for his deuce country-influenced albums, 1992's Short Man's Room and 1993's Kindness of the World, both of which feature article members of the country-rock set the Jayhawks, simply his melodic focus has actually changed several multiplication over the course of action of his recording career, reflecting his restless, adventurous spirit.
H was natural in North Carolina, grew up in Michigan, exhausted the early part of his music vocation in New York City, and last settled in Los Angeles in 1990 with his wife and word. After his little-heard 1986 debut, Speak of Heaven, Henry debuted on A&M in 1989 with the rock & roll album Mangle of Crows, which was produced by Anton Fier and featured Mick Taylor on guitar.
From in that respect he pared down in the mouth to the quiet, completely acoustic moods of Shuffletown (1990) before shifting into the state and folk-influenced soil of Short Man's Room and Kindness of the World. The latter two albums earned him an fantabulous report among fans of alternative rock and country as a superb isaac Bashevis Singer and songwriter. He followed Kindness with the five-song EP Fireman's Wedding a year later.
Henry's lyrics are a central centering of his songwriting, just level though he oftentimes writes in the start person, his songs are not "personal" in the manner of musicians wHO ar often called singer/songwriters (a genre he doesn't wish to be associated with). He's recorded some excellent area covers, only he's equally concerned in soul, blue funk, and stone & roll.
On Trampoline, released in 1996, Henry veered his music in an edgier, more rhythm-oriented focus. While he placid employs acoustic instruments and even a pedal-steel guitar on several songs, Trampoline (much of which Henry recorded at a studio he typeset up in his garage) is more than understandably defined by its metal drum loops, loud galvanic guitars, cryptic voices, and curious sonic textures. For this album Henry recruited guitarist Page Hamilton from the band Helmet and drummer Carla Azar from the band Edna Swap.
Mix -- mixed with the aid of Daniel Lanois and T-Bone Burnett -- followed in 1999. Two days later, Henry returned with the enigmatic stunner Scar. This especial button marked his final with Mammoth. He opted for a conduct with Epitaph's Anti and entered the studio in December 2002 to record his ninth album, Tiny Voices, his about intricate to date. A second base album on Anti, Civilians, followed in 2007.
