Quotes
about Joywood:
"...a
sweet roots-rock collection packed with mandolins, chiming pop melodies
and easy rhythms." -- Michael McCall, Nashville Scene
"While
Pagetta’s musicianship and lyrics were never lacking, his move from
mostly acoustic to slightly more electrified arrangements, as well
as his ever-developing storytelling lyrics, have only improved with
Joywood." -- Whitney Sanford, EC Rocker
“….a
tough but pretty new album…Joywood comes complete with sidewalk
grit" and "pop sparkle.” --- Peter Cooper, The Tennessean
"After
hearing Pagetta's music, it might come as quite a surprise to learn
he's not from the American Heartland of the Midwest or from the
rugged western frontiers. It carries the twang of contemporary folk
and country mixed in with pop hooks and, on his latest album at
least, some spells of rocking out." -- Matt Sanders, Southeast
Missourian
"Pagetta
is gifted with that elusive roots rocker quality of simultaneously
sounding both tantalizingly familiar and altogether distinct. His
deference to small town America certainly hearkens back to John
Mellencamp while his gruff vocals recall more than a bit of Dave
Alvin. Toss in a bit of incessantly clever Elvis Costello like turning
of a phrase, not to mention Pagetta's own fondness for a catchy
hook, and you've got a combination of wit and muscle that's pretty
hard to resist.
-- James Cassara, Rapid River Arts, on Joywood,
Oct. 2004
