Joe Huber of .357 Releases “Bury Me Where I Fall”
Joseph Huber, one of the primary songwriters and banjo/fiddle player for the high-octane bluegrass outfit The .357 String Band has released a solo album called Bury Me Where I Fall. This album marks a completely different direction from the punk-inspired string music Joe & .357 are known for, but not in the emphasis on top-notch songwriting. Joe takes a more poetic, Townes Van Zandt approach to the lyrics, and a more artistic approach to the music.
The 1st solo album from .357 String Band’s Joseph Huber reveals a new side; a brooding, & introspective side in the spirit of Townes Van Zandt or Leonard Cohen. Weary & burdened, yet also joyfully defiant. Each song offers a new sound & way of seeing.
The album is available by paypal-ing $12.00 to josephhubermusic at gmail. com. You can also purchase or preview tracks on CD Baby.

This is great news. I’ve been trying to figure out if this album art above is a photo or some of joes artwork.
Jahshie P- If it works in- I would be interested to hear Joe talk about his paintings.

I like what I’ve heard! If it’s artwork, it’s extraordinary. Makes me wonder why there is no banjo. Great blog Triggerman.

Sweeet! As much as I love the kick-ass side of .357, Joe’s ballads (Long Put Down That Gospel, The Days Engrave, Stillest Hour) have been some of my favorite tracks. Can’t wait to hear the new songs, but.. no banjo? No shit!?!?
