The debut album from dada's Joie Calio is an excellent trip to follow. The album is full of excellent acoustical masterpieces.Joie Calio knows how to make a cd that is filled with upbeat harmonies and good vocals the song "morning sickness" being a charm. Also the song "About Monkeys and God" a song Joie recorded at Times Square New York.The cd is just great music to listen to. Get it now if you don't have it!

Happy, sad, and that voice. I finally found a copy of this lost gem and it was well worth the search. If you are reading this you likely know about Joie Calio and his music. I would recommend trying to find his 2008 release "X Levitation Cult- Happiness in Hell". It is also outstanding, solid songwriting, singing and melodic. Thanks Joie!

It's like dada, but it's not. Without Mike Gurley's Hendrix-like guitar, Calio turns introspective, and cranks out a really sweet, mostly acoustic set. Actually this disc was more upbeat than I expected based on the samples I had heard. The title song and "Sugar Pill" in particular are really upbeat, almost Top-40ish sounding (maybe from early 70s top 40, that is). Calio's voice sounds great, the songwriting is supple, and the instrumentation is all just perfect. If you made it to a dada show in the past year, you probably hear Joie performing "Morning Sickness" solo. The rest of this disc is just as good or better.
