The pre-order for my imminent new album ‘Sledgehammer Songs’ went live last Friday alongside the release of its first tune, ‘A Better Way’. By the end of the day, I’d had to re-order CDs after selling out, and to prepare for a trip to the local Post Office with a third of my vinyl.

It was an INCREDIBLE response, and I can’t thank you enough.

Your reaction to ‘A Better Way’ was everything I’d hoped for, and the video by Lodge Productions smashed through the glass ceiling of the Facebook algorithm and flew.

You can check that out here:

If you missed all this, you can catch up at joesolomusic.bandcamp.com and the second song ‘The Last Miner’ ft The Hatfield Brigade and Rebekah Findlay drops at 8pm on Thursday evening ahead of the full album on Friday March 1st.

That too has a video, as does the third pre-album song, ‘Tie ‘Em To A Brick’ ft Carol Hodge and Rebekah again, which will drop on Thursday February 22nd.

We have incoming merch too.

Please like, comment on, and share links if you see them, and a Bandcamp Listening Party ahead of the full album is scheduled for Wednesday 28th February if you’d like to hear the full thing ahead of release day.

Thanks everyone ✊️ ❤️ 👊
