Nominated for a 2009 San Diego Music Award!

Little Boy/ Don't Go/ Brother Of The Grape/ Get Out Of My Way/
Baby You're A Star/ She's On The Pill/ Apologies To R. Newman/
I Haven't Been Cryin'/ Don't Seem Like Love/ Miguelita

Arguably one of the finest singers, guitar pickers, and songwriters to come out of Southern California, Joey Harris is
undoubtably San Diego music royalty. His new CD, "Joey Harris And The Mentals", is a gem set to take him into the next
phase of an already long and successful career. This is Joey's first solo CD since his legendary days in The Beat Farmers,
and is a perfect example of someone at the top of their game. The 10 song CD is Joey at his best, both irreverent and
introspective, and simply put...Rockin'!

Backed by his oustanding band, The Mentals, Joey tears through the CD like a man on a mission. Songs like "Little Boy",
"Brother Of The Grape", and "I Haven't Been Cryin'" show off Joey's Blues chops, and "Don't Go", "Get Out Of My Way",
and "She's On The Pill" will rock your face off with huge vocals and guitar tones. "Apologies To R. Newman" gets the funk
out, while "Baby You're A Star", "Don't Seem Like Love", and "Miguelita" show a mature side to Joey's writing. Adding to the
main ingredients of vocal, guitar, drum, bass, piano, and Hammond B3, Joey has peppered the CD with killer harmonies,
percussion, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and an angelic choir of angels.

"Having been a huge fan of Joey's (and the Beat Farmers) since the age of 16, it has been an honor co-producing this CD
with him. The drive, focus, and fun he injected into every cut was truly inspirational. From the blistering guitar volumes,
beers, smokes, and laughs, I'm just now regaining feeling to the right side of my face!"

~~Scottie "Mad Dog" Blinn/ Double Barrel Records

ABOUT JOEY

Joey Harris began his musical career in the late seventies playing lead guitar for proto-Americana songwriter John Stewart.
In 1983, MCA records released Joey Harris and the Speedsters which showcased Harris' skill as songwriter, vocalist and
guitar virtuoso. In January 1985, Joey joined the Beat Farmers, perpetually touring the United States and Canada, and
visiting England, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Harris wrote, sang and played on five Beat Farmer LPs released
by Curb/MCA, and indie label, Sector 2. Curb Records produced a music video for the song Hollywood Hills which featured
Joey on lead vocals, and the Beat Farmers appeared on the television show Late Night with David Letterman, this time with
Harris singing his tune, Hideaway. Joey also toured and recorded with Country Dick Montana, Dave Alvin and Mojo Nixon as
a member of their Las Vegas style review band, the Pleasure Barons, releasing a live CD on Hightone Records in 1993.

Harris was on hand when Montana recorded another project featuring Mojo, Rosie Flores, Katy Moffett, John Doe, Candye
Kane, Dave Gonzales and Dave Alvin titled the Devil Lied to Me, posthumously released by Bar/None in 1996. Country Dick
Montana died onstage at the Longbranch Saloon in Whistler, British Columbia, November 11th 1995. The Beat Farmers soon
disbanded and Joey toured with his own band, worked with songwriter Paul Kamanski (author of several Beat Farmer tunes),
and Mojo Nixon. Joey was picked by Mojo to play lead guitar on his 1999 Shanachie Records release, Sock Ray Blue. Harris
joined forces with Beat Farmer Jerry Raney and his band Powerthud which released a CD in 2002 called Wide.
