The disk contains nine songs penned by Joel and one cover of Jimi Hendrix, a seminal influence on this artist.
With a fresh approach his writing style on this CD ranges from wild Blues Party to deeply personal. Joel dips into
the rich South Florida talent pool singing a call and return duo with BMA nominee, Albert Castiglia on the track
"Hard Time". Then you see DaSilva's imaginative depth with a push from technology bringing him to perform
with his parents on the cut "Heart of My Father". The father Joel never got to meet.
Produced by Yves Giraud and Joel DaSilva.

Joel gives insight into some songs on his album:
‘Hard Time” (with Albert Castiglia)
When I began writing “Hard Time” I knew it needed a distinct voice. Something special …so I called up my good friend “Albert Castiglia” and he was
very much interested in co-writing the tune and singing some lines and playing slide. The song is about a loner who must break away from what’s been
draggin’ him down. Whether it is in his mind, or on the streets. Both of us are more than happy with the end result and this is a side that most of our fans
don’t get to see.
‘Heart Of My Father”
This slow blues track is dedicated to my father who passed away when I was only 3.
I never knew my father, only from stories my mother would tell me. My father was a guitarist and my mother was a singer in Sao Paulo, Brazil. They were
traveling musicians and loved each other and the music they played…. a type of “Western Blues”. They only made one record together.
At the studio I had the idea of splicing together a song that he wrote and she sang on. So, thru the magic of technology…. I was able to perform with my
father on this track. His lead playing and presence, along with rhythm guitar, and accordion, start off the song and end it. I’m very proud of the track and
hope he would be too.
“Let’s Not Fight, Let’s Make Some Love”
A barn burner straight ahead shuffle-groove. The title says it all
“Hangin’ On”
One cool rock and roller…A song about keeping and holding onto to faith and to never quit. Whatever that faith may be to you, ….hold onto it close and
never let go. Faith is all a man has.
‘Try”
This is a ballad that I’m also proud of and hopefully gain some new fans for it. Just alone and acoustic and from the heart.
