Press Reviews "Joe McMurrian's new album Divining Rod is a tour de'force in acoustic country blues.It is filled with subtle force and and surprises unseen in modern country blues.."World of Havoc Music Report 1999.-----------" He plays with a heart pure and a soul lifted.."Pasadena Star news 1999--------"Within Divining Rod, the new cd from country blue's artist Joe McMurrian, you shall find comfort and amazement. His stories are edged with restlessness, defeat and redemption. He is one of the most adventurous musical spirits to hit the blues and folk scene in years. The subtle and masterful guitar accompaniment and deep soulful voice filling the cd are a welcome and unexpected addition to the blues.The music hits you with complexity, yet through it all a sense of pure honesty surrounds you. You will not find him stuck in the regressive ways found in most blues traditionalists today. He knows where he has come from and has found a new road of his own to follow"...M. Weldone KRAK RADIO 88.9 SAN FRANCISCO.--------"Joe, You have some great technique, but your playing is so much more than technique. Your music is very deep, some of the deepest artistic stuff I have ever heard. I don't mean to lay it on thick, but the truth is you are one of the Guitar Greats. You surely have a good future ahead of you." ----DOBRO222 MP3.com review.
