greatest Miami bass album never released. Never fully released anyway, some singles may be familiar as they were licensed to Joey Boy & Phathouse records. In the tradition of Miami Bass Jams Vol.1, JockD has made it his mission to fully remaster this album and present it the way he wanted to, back in the day. Recorded between 1997-99, most of these collaborations between bass juggernauts Kooley C and Jock D have never seen the light of day and will now finally be heard for the very first time.  (less)

voice, but it's wasted on drippy ballads such as "If Only" and "Save Me," which is anchored by the cringe-inducing lyric "Heaven must be missing an angel." Even the uptempo tracks "One Night Thing," "Twisted," and "Turn It Up" fail to generate any heat. The entire album is slickly produced, which is part of the problem. Every track is soaked in pseudo-R&B rhythms, altered vocal tricks, and limp Latin flourishes. It all makes the Puerto Rican performer come off like a one-man boy band along the lines of O-Town and 98 Degrees. Nothing against 'N Sync, however, whose own music has even evolved past this kind of innocuous pop schmaltz. --Joey Guerra  (less)

fist-pumping, angry tune given an added boost by new drummer Joey Franco, who's heavy pounding is reminiscent of John Bonham's. 'Hot Love' has a Madonna-like feel to it, but with heavy guitars instead of the dance beat one might expect from the pop diva. The title track is a humorous, tongue-in-cheek cut, while 'Tonight' and 'Me And The Boys' are two anthemic singalongs made for cruising to that all important arena show with your buddies. 'You Are All That I Need' is an excellent power ballad written by Dee Snider to his wife Suzette. Along with remastered sound, Spitfire has reissued Suckers with four bonus tracks. The rockin' double-time 'Feel Appeal' possibly refers to a groupie, while 'Statutory Date' says jail time is a small price to pay for an o...  (less)

with child actor (and Joey’s best friend), Logan O’Brien (cast of General Hospital, and this fall’s new ABC show, "That Was Then"). Mostly written by his father, this is a collection of wholesome, feel-good songs which span many styles of music - there's something for everyone. They'll make you dance, they'll make you sing, they'll make you cry. One look will tell you why many are calling Joey America's newest boy heartthrob.  (less)
