["Smokin' Joe's] No Good Frens provide detours into hard-edged shredding and impressive solos, but [Smokin' Joe's] musical framework comes from a Southern Rock perspective. Guitar heavy melodies create a grinding, driving wall of sound. [Smokin' Joe] also reveres the lyrical message and story quality of his original music as commentary humorous and otherwise recounts tales of things on a Southern boy's mind; things like personal freedom, over regulation by Uncle Sam and common social activities such as hunting "The Wild She-Beast" as Unknown Hinson would term it." -Anthony Davis- Texarkana Gazette Description: Southern Rock, Texas Music, Hard Rock, Ballad, Southern Metal, Red Dirt, Progressive Country, Country Rock Crossover
