Bill Berry, City Pages, November 6, 2003

"Primebel is a tidy, sweet and lush offering that...focuses on the abundant guitar and violin skills of Joe Ebel."

Product Description

Songs from "Primebel" are now heard on over 150 radio stations via PRI syndicated show, "Echoes"!

"Primebel" has been selected as one of the Top 25 Essential CDs for 2003 by "Echoes" Staff!

After two CDs with guitarist Ken Bonfield, Joe Ebel has released his first solo effort, "Primebel." And this enhanced CD is loaded with bonus features accessible from a computer.

"Primebel" is a fingerstyle-guitar instrumental CD with a difference. Joe Ebel, the composer, arranger and guitarist, is also an accomplished violinist with a respect for melody and feeling. These songs will lift your spirits and fill your days with a lightness that is simply refreshing.

"Primebel" is a CD that celebrates melody with a playful spirit and a dedication to emotional expression. With acoustic fingerstyle guitar as the foundation of each piece, violin melodies complete a wonderful musical painting that will remain with you long after you've first listened. From the joyous "First Snow", which captures the spirit of that first snowfall of the season, to the longing sound of "Ray of Hope", to the latin rhythms of "Palenque", to the playfulness of "The Joezone Layer", featuring Grammy-winning bassist Michael Manring (Michael Hedges), Primebel will suprise and delight you at every turn. These songs were written from the heart, played with passion and recorded with precision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prime Stuff, January 8, 2004

By	Ashantay Peters (Sautee, GA) - See all my reviews

Primebel is a wonderful mix of music that ranges from reflective to funky to slyly fun. The Calling never fails to open my heart with it's evocative and quietly sensual harmonies. This album was a top seller in my gift store this last holiday season, and rightfully so! I've listened to it for hours and have not tired of it, nor do I expect to be bored with it at any time. Joe's talent is just too abundant. A must hear!!
