Description from Jalopy Records / Bandcamp:
Guitar and steel guitar wizard Joel Paterson has been a mainstay of the Chicago roots music scene for over twenty years, playing with many bands and showcasing his unique blend of jazz, blues, rockabilly, country and western swing. In addition to solo shows, his projects include The Joel Paterson Trio, The Western Elstons, and The Joel Paterson Quartet (seen weekly at The Green Mill in Chicago). Joel can be heard on the recordings of the Cactus Blossoms, JD McPherson, Kelly Hogan, Pokey LaFarge, and Deke Dickerson.
Wheelhouse Rag is a 14-track collection of original rags and country blues on solo, fingerpicked acoustic guitar. The all-acoustic, 1920s-inspired Wheelhouse Rag may at first seem like a genre shift for the guitarist — best known for his instrumental, multi-track recordings reminiscent of Les Paul and Chet Atkins — but Joel learned to play guitar by ear from the records of acoustic legends like Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis and Big Bill Broonzy. He later expanded his repertoire to include the techniques of thumb-picking giants Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. These influences can be heard throughout the album, mixed with many more twists from the artist's mind.
"Of all the 'vintage' artists injecting new life into bygone styles with originality and a sense of humor, Joel Paterson just might top the list." — Dan Forte, Vintage Guitar Magazine
"Guitarist Paterson's free-ranging music defies easy categorization. He addresses classic country, blues and Tin Pan Alley tunes as timeless works that reward repeated listening." — Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

Descripción de Jalopy Records / Bandcamp:
El mago de la guitarra y la guitarra de acero Joel Paterson ha sido un pilar de la escena de música roots de Chicago durante más de veinte años, tocando con muchas bandas y mostrando su singular mezcla de jazz, blues, rockabilly, country y western swing. Además de sus shows en solitario, sus proyectos incluyen The Joel Paterson Trio, The Western Elstons y The Joel Paterson Quartet (visto semanalmente en The Green Mill de Chicago). Se puede escuchar a Joel en las grabaciones de los Cactus Blossoms, JD McPherson, Kelly Hogan, Pokey LaFarge y Deke Dickerson.
Wheelhouse Rag es una colección de 14 temas de rags originales y country blues en guitarra acústica en solitario y con fingerpicking. El acústico y de inspiración años 20 Wheelhouse Rag puede parecer a primera vista un cambio de género para el guitarrista — más conocido por sus grabaciones instrumentales con multipistas que recuerdan a Les Paul y Chet Atkins — pero Joel aprendió a tocar la guitarra de oído a partir de los discos de leyendas acústicas como Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis y Big Bill Broonzy. Más tarde amplió su repertorio para incluir las técnicas de los gigantes del thumb-picking Merle Travis y Chet Atkins. Estas influencias se escuchan a lo largo del álbum, mezcladas con muchos más giros de la mente del artista.
"De todos los artistas 'vintage' que inyectan nueva vida en estilos pasados con originalidad y sentido del humor, Joel Paterson podría encabezar la lista." — Dan Forte, Vintage Guitar Magazine
"La música de libre alcance de Paterson desafía la fácil categorización. Aborda temas clásicos de country, blues y Tin Pan Alley como obras atemporales que recompensan la escucha repetida." — Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
