Artist description When Joy Taylor and Keith Brace formed Blue Joy, they were one of the first to blend Modern Rock with the new Country.With Joy's natural country twang and Keith's blistering modern rock guitar stylings, and their emerging Pop songwriting sensibilities, they are truly poised at the "Edge of the Middle of The Road". Deep, intense, often magical lyrics exist in every song. Their Alternative Country stylings with edges of gothic influences are truly unique and groundbreaking while at the same time melodic and catchy.
