Climb in the back seat, shut up and listen. Eastern Iowa country bluesman Joe Price is gonna take you on a joyride with his new CD “Designated Driver.” The 33-minute trip tears through nine original Price tunes plus the public domain gem “Red River Valley.” The album’s brevity and jaunty pace works in its favor; studio blues sets these days rarely come charged with this much raw energy, which propels the listener clean through and immediately demands a repeat listen. He’s shared stages with Southern-born blues legends such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, but these songs are firmly rooted in Price’s own Midwest territory.” --Kyle Munson DesMoines Register RATING 4 Rating on a rising scale of no stars (broken down) to five stars (revved up).

Price’s first digital effort is also his most adventurous musically. The use of several different guitars produce a variety of interesting tones (the distortion sound on “Tornado Blues” sounds like it was actually picked up in a Kansas twister) and a variety of backup musicians, including a brass band called the "Unified Jazz Ensemble", make for a diverse listening experience. Wife Vicki Price sits in on a nice guitar duet called “Supro Serenade,” and Dave Moore plays harmonica and accordion on a few tunes, including the excellent slow blues of the title track. --Mike Starling, La Crosse Tribune

…he plays the guitar as if guided by hands from the Next World, the term “guitarist” seems woefully inadequate, too. An inspired Primitive who oozes the essence of the blues in a manner so untouched by modern developments as to suggest he tumbled through a crack in Time…. His first CD, 1996’s amazing 25 Below, was a revelation to those who missed his heyday in Iowa City and a reaffirmation to those who didn’t. Requests collects all 20 tracks from 1992’s Iowa Crawl and 1994’s Mountain of Blues (previously available only on self-released cassettes) on a glorious, split-rail CD. And if you thought I’d say it was anything less than astounding, then you just haven’t been paying attention. --Jim Musser, Icon Music Editor-Iowa City, Iowa
Lookin For Love 2005 Mail order Only Lookin’ for Love is her first disc since Trailer’s limited release of her lo-fi intimate Mississippi Summer some five years back. This new biscuit thumps that homespun debut’s rump in every way possible. With her son, Keni Ewing, more-than-ably kicking the cans and her incendiary hubbie unleashing a mind-boggling array of string-blistering soundscapes, Vicki charges, swings, croons and sashays like a pitch-perfect Patti Smith through a sassy showcase of original tunes in a fat-free family affair. The songs are mostly (at least, apparently) the autobiographical musings of a powerful matriarch who’s seen the worst yet expects the best, slipping easily across roots/Americana idioms. --Jim Musser, Press Citizen Iowa City
