Joel Rafael
Joel Rafael is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician from San Diego County, California.
Described as a natural interpreter of Woody Guthrie's lyrics and music, ''Woodyboye'', Rafael's second volume to celebrate the songs of Woody Guthrie, was released on Appleseed in 2005. The first volume, ''Woodeye'', was released on Inside Recordings in 2003. Joel and his acoustic band have been performing and touring the country since 1993 and the Joel Rafael Band is considered one of the most refreshing new acts on the national folk festival scene. In 2000, the Joel Rafael Band, comprising Joel Rafael, (lead vocals and guitar), his daughter Jamaica (violin, viola and vocals), Carl Johnson (acoustic lead guitar) and Jeff Berkley (ethno-percussion), released their third album, ''Hopper'' on Inside Recordings, an independent label created by Jackson Browne and his management. The album was nominated in 2001 for an Association For Independent Music (AFIM) Best Contemporary Folk award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ribbonofhighway.com/ )〕
