Details:
âIt is a testament to the quality of his songwriting, which is as close to flawless as a young, unknown Missourian is likely to get."
-The Riverfront Times
on Joe Stickleyâs Blue Print

With influences as diverse as Bob Dylan and Ian MacKaye, Joe Stickley serves as an alter ego of sorts for the members of the band Bockman, who, along with Stickley, comprise this unique American outfit. With creative attention focused on the art of storytelling, Stickleyâs Blue Print features a technical foundation of rock and contemporary folk musings arranged with care and attention to detail.

The groupâs debut album, Friendship's Quiet, was released in 2003. Between albums Stickley has been concentrating on his live shows, touring from his home state of Missouri, where he was recently named Best Songwriter by St. Louisâs definitive musical voice, The Riverfront Times, through Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington. Seizing this momentum, the band is now releasing their sophomore effort, The Eagle and The Pearl.

Stickley has come to characterize The Eagle and The Pearl as âthe soul of an American band and surrogate family.â The family consists of Wil Reeves (bass, vocals), Sean Canan (guitar, vocals), Danny Carroll (drums), Andrew Weir (keyboards), and, of course, Joe Stickley (vocals, guitar).

Within the first thirty seconds of the Pearl, the listener can feel the landing gear retract below as instrumental harmonies facilitate the abandonment of day-to-day worries. With the opening lyric âWelcome to the showâ Stickley warmly receives fellow journeymen who have opted to experience the sights and sounds that are The Eagle and The Pearl.

Like any major destination, The Eagle and The Pearl has nooks and crannies diverse enough to keep listeners coming back. Title track, âThe Eagle and The Pearlâ, along with âVandalia Painâ and âLead Loveâ offer listeners Stickleyâs take on popular American roots rock. Conversely, the quiet inflections of âLove You Madlyâ, âLittle Louâ, and âTraffic In Harmoniaâ offer intimate portrayals of love, family and the possibility of redemption. At the very heart of the record is Stickleyâs adaptation of Blind Willie Johnsonâs haunting âSoul of a Manâ.

âWriting these songs, I was simply responding to the questions we all face, lifeâs questions. Have I provided answers? Maybe in some ways, for some people. Really, I think Iâve just spun the wheel, kept the dialogue going. What is the soul of a man? Answer if you can.â
