Singer-songwriter Emory Joseph debuted with the album Labor & Spirits in 2003. The effort clearly marked him as a soulful, American-music cross-pollinator in the tradition of such predecessors as Lowell George, Ry Cooder, Delbert McClinton and Dr. John.

The relationships he had fostered over the years in various locales as a struggling musician were crucial in gathering together the talent on Labor & Spirits. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide
