Sunstorm *updated 28.09.06*

Material written for a projected follow up to his "Rescue You" album on Elektra was issued in late September 2006 as "Sunstorm", on Frontiers Records. Joe has dusted off the demos, and is re-recording the material with a new crew for the album. It is now in stock at dpas mail order.

"Just viewed the press release about JLT's "Sunstorm" project. Having spoken with Joe about a week or so ago, I can tell you that only three songs from his unreleased follow up to "Rescue You" are on the Sunstorm Project. Everyone seems to be under the impression that all of the songs are going to be on Sunstorm (not true). Hope this helps. Frank Beltran."
