Love his voice. I know him from Rainbow, Brazen Abbot and Sunstorm. Oddly enough, I don't have any of his solo albums though.

Great singer! Great pitch and very soulful. Not a real "metal" singer though, but great at what he does. He does well with AOR material.

Big fan. Solo, Yngwie, Sunstorm, Brazen Abbot, and Deep Purple. Favorite with him is the second Sunstorm (the first one and the third one sadly leave me cold).

I know a lot of people don't care much for his solo albums, but of his AOR stuff, I much prefer them over the first and third Sunstorm albums.

He's too talented to be a "real metal singer".

I usually am not a fan of cover albums but I would rank his two as favorites.

I'm a big fan. Everything he has done has been great. He just has a perfect voice for melodic rock. His Rainbow stuff was great, the album he did with Yngwie is Yngwie's best and he has proved he's still got it with Sunstorm.

I guess I'm a casual fan. I've enjoyed everything I've heard him sing on, but I don't go out of my way to find his work.

Odyssey is probably my favorite of Yngwie's earlier albums (tied with Marching Out), and call me crazy but I slightly prefer his era of Rainbow over the Dio albums. Need to check out some of his other work

JLT is cool and think is he very underated. He's done really good stuff with Rainbow and the one album with Yngwie was nice as well.
I liked his version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" on that Hevy Metal Christmas album too.

The 1st time I heard this track I was driving my car & it came on the radio. Cranked it up instantly! Killer riff smooth vocals.

Well, it looks like Joe has returned with a new look and heavier sound. The lyrics are based on the biblical book of Revelation.
