    Nice album by a fine musician. It's got soul and that makes the album far more interesting than lost of others...

  • could you get any better...I think not.

    Take My blanket and Go is by far my favorite Joe Purdy album. These are songs that follow you. when you wake up and your getting ready to start your day these are songs you think about. let's admit it everyone wishes they had a soundtrack to their life; for me Joe Purdy's Take My Blanket and GO is my soundtrack and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    What a great find! Joe Purdy's Take My Blanket & Go is fantastic. There's nothing better than discovering a new artist and a great website like CDBaby. I think I'll be enjoying both for a long time.

  • Wow!!!

    I love Joe Purdy..he is so soulful. Listening to him sing is as good as rockin in the MOST comfy rockin chair with a big fluffy blanket...you move my soul Joe. Let that music flow.

    This album is my first introduction to Joe Purdy. I was browsing through CD Baby and found it. For the past two weeks, I really have enjoyed it. It gets better and better with every listen. I will research some of his earlier stuff.

    I bought this as a Christmas present and I am really excited about giving it to my boyfriend. I listened to all the songs first and I really like it, so I know he will. We are both huge Joe Purdy fans.

    The cd is awesome. Just as good as the last one if not better. Hope he keeps putting his music out there.

    Joe Purdy is like a family friend to us. His music surpasses everyone else for genuine heart and clarity. Joe is a very quiet person. He puts it all in his music. I love this new album as I have all his others, including Canyon Joe because of it's stark purity necessitated by his being stuck in a snow-storm in New Mexico!Nothing stops Joe from writing!! We are so proud of him and excited that due to 'San Jose' being used on Grey's Anatomy now millions of others have had a taste of the wonder that is Joe Purdy!

  • Joe is the man.
    author: Alexandra

    I can't imagine writing so much great music (or ANY music for that matter)...but Joe is a true master. "Brooklyn I'm Calling" is perhaps one of the greatest songs I have heard in a while: It is so honest and beautiful. A wonderful cd to drive to, make art to, whatever!

  • great!

    You'll really like this one.

  • one of his best!

    Buy this album. San Jose is going to be a favorite!!

  • 4.5 Stars: Up There With Joe's Best
    author: Steve Wright

    Nine album's in and Joe's songwriting and general feel hasn't lost a thing and if anything, has gained with each release. Putting aside the blip that was 'Canyon Joe', his eighth release, Joe's career has been hugely consistent with some of superior songwriting I've heard in years. His gut-wrenching howl on the more tense tracks is invigorating while his gentle but rough voice is moving while at the same time soothing and often in the case of Joe, tear-jerking. Tracks such as 'Good Days', one of the major highlights of an album that's full of them, are touching and deeply dark and it is possible that this is Joe's darkest ballad to date. The production of 'Take My Blanket And Go' has a more 'rusted' feel and a more bleaker feel. That's not to say that it's depressing, far from it. The opening 'San Jose' is a Purdy chant classic, while 'White Picket Fence' is Joe at his angriest. Through each of these songs, which I must say Joe enphasises less on lyrics and more on instrumentation (not to say the lyrics are excellent, because as ever they are), Joe gives some of his best vocal performances to go along with quite possibly his best set of songs. To a 4 year Joe Purdy fan, I am relieved he didn't make another 'Canyon Joe' as I felt it was quite a bland affair with few highlights. This is Joe Purdy back at his best and it's just about on a par with, if not slipping behind slightly, 'Paris In The Morning' and 'You Can Tell Georgia' for excellence. 1. San Jose - 7/10 2. Take My Blanket And Go - 9/10 3. Sinkin' Low - 8/10 4. Goldfish - 8/10 5. Good Days - 10/10 6. White Picket Fence - 8.5/10 7. Days Of Old - 6/10 8. Wood Box - 9/10 9. You Should - 8.5/10 10. Brooklyn, I'm Calling - 9/10
