The Beautiful Madness Best-Ofs
The Beautiful Madness has been included in several best of 2020 lists!
“I love this one. …[I]t’s pure Jerry. Beautiful. Madness. Please listen. And read the liner notes.”
“Jerry Joseph steps it into high gear on this politically outspoken album full of piss, vinegar, and some damn good songs.”
God Is In The TV — Sugar Smacks, #2 Track of 2020
“The song can barely contain Joseph’s rage, fear, guilt and indignation and makes for what is this year’s most powerful and rightly uncomfortable of listens. Make no mistake, this is absolute dynamite.”
Routes & Branches — #1 Album of 2020
“It’s a record that arrives at just the right time, backed by just the right band (Drive-by Truckers) to assure that he will reach a whole new cadre of listeners. Moreover, after more than three decades of nose-to-the-grindstone labor, Jerry Joseph has created an album that deserves to be added to any year-end and best-of conversation.”
“Jerry takes on the world and does not hold back on its state and those running it.”
The Arts Desk — Sugar Smacks, Track of the Year
“It’s certainly no rose-tinted view of our present predicament. Nor is it a childish teenage tantrum, but a considered reflection of a world that desperately needs some serious TLC.”
“[Jerry] slices a vein and rocks, rolls, and souls his way through heavy duty songs. Tough stuff and great.”
