When I saw Joe Russo play drums for the first time a couple of weeks ago I was blown away. Now I get where he is coming from. A tremendous talent. Really does sound like two drummers by keeping the backbeat going while rolling on the toms. Anyone who has ever tried to make a living in the music industry knows how difficult it can be. It's great to see someone succeed after paying dues and working hard. Congrats Joe!!! Hope to see you play again.

The way I have always described Joe is simply: He plays like 2 drummers.

"It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Great interview, Blair. Thanks for the insights into the "new guy." I 've been impressed with his skills, especially since Jay left. I really like the groove this band seems to have found now. Great stuff !!
